The large lens and light mount of this type of task light makes it awkward to use if the lens is not being used. If the magnifier is being used then only a small area can be studied at a time, which is not necessarily what is wanted. Make sure you only want to look at small areas of a subject at a time, if you buy this light. It is useful for small tasks like wiring a plug, but for reading a paper it becomes awkward. These lights can be fitted with daylight bulbs, make sure that you want them before you buy them.
Some people find the colour it produces too blue or green.
