I bought this lamp for use while building scale models. For the cost, this is definitely a great asset to any model builder. Not only does it provide me with directed light, but the magnifier glass can be useful too. The only minor complaint would be while trying to get the magnifier very close the model it does not provide a lot of room for your tools sticking up out of your hand. Generally I wear a magnifying visor anyhow so this is only a minor issue for me. The light is bright white which helps for seeing true colors. You'll need to find a good place to mount the light so it'll be out of the way and have room for it to fully articulate to your needs. That being said, it does fold up on itself for the most part and takes up very little real estate. Regarding articulation, it moves very easily and is sturdy. You can make small adjustments to the light's position and it will hold in place. The springs that support the arm are heavy duty and it seems to be solidly built.

Price was good, shipping was quick and the 2 lamps were delivered in perfect condition. However, the lamp is incorrectly listed on Amazon as being 8-Diopter when it is a 5-Diopter. That is the reason for my lower rating. It clearly states on the boxes the lamps came in that they are 5-Diopter and the product number on the boxes and lamps matches the number ordered. The lower magnification works okay for my use, but some who order this item may not be able to use the 5-Diopter.
Best Deals for Professional 2-in-1 Spring-Arm Magnifier Lamp - 5" Lens - 5-Diopter
I purchased the magnifier lamp a couple of months ago to replace an older one that no longer worked. This lamp is by far a higher quality lamp than what I had. The daylight or natural light of the lamp is great for artists, as it shows the true colors of whatever you're working on. As a jewelry designer & beader, at times I need a magnifier to see tiny details & the magnifier in this lamp is extremely helpful for that. All in all, I feel that the quality is worth what I paid for it. It was delivered on time, already put together, & all I had to do was mount it on my table, plug it in, & it was ready to use.
Honest reviews on Professional 2-in-1 Spring-Arm Magnifier Lamp - 5" Lens - 5-Diopter
I ordered for one of my service techs for a wireless tech center. He needs the light due to the way the tech room is set up. He used it for 45 days and then the lamp stopped working. Problem is the bulb is not replaceable. So instead of just replacing the bulb I have to purchase another one. This time the bulb will be replaceable.

The head is very differcult to adjust. You have to make the bolt very tight otherwise it goes all over the place. The cover that goes over the lens to keep the dust off the lens will not stay up unless the head is level. I took it off. It is useless!. The light itself is very good. Would I buy in again? No !!
