Magnifying Desk Lamp
Directed Lighting for Better Visibility

A magnifying desk lamp provides directed light and magnification that can be used for reading or for performing hobbies.

Instead of giving up activities you enjoy, adapt by getting the right magnification and light. A magnifying desk lamp is great to have at the desk for hobbies or for going through your mail. Use it to read bills, enjoy a magazine, or to write a letter.

Adjust the light so that it is directed onto your reading material or hobby.

Desk lamps with magnifiers come in a variety of lens sizes but the magnification power is usually limited to 2X or 3X. The closer the light to the object or material the better the illumination.

Choose a swing arm, gooseneck or adjustable desk lamp for better lighting and focus. The Carson Magnifying Desk Lamp has a circular lens that measures 3 1/2" and features a weighted base for stability.

Some of the features to look for are:

1. An adjustable arm so that the light and magnification can be directed to exactly where needed

2. The size of the lens

3. The magnification power with an added higher spot magnification

4. Power source

Some desk lamp magnifiers use only AC and others can be powered by AC and batteries so the lamp can be used anywhere. Others provide a USB option.

5. The type and number of lights

On the left is the Carson Desk Lamp which uses 2 LED lights. On the right is the AmazLab desk lamp magnifier that has a circle of 18 LED lights.

Positioning Your Magnifying Desk Lamp

Obviously, the closer the light to your reading material the better the illumination. The farther the light source, the less illumination. Aim your light onto your page or hobby work in a way that illuminates but doesn't create glare or shadows.
