Magnifying Glass with Light, Double-Layer Glass Lens Handheld Large Magnifying Glass 12 LED Lighted Magnifier for Seniors Reading, Coins, Jewelry, Close Working

This is a quality hand held magnifying glass, with an actual glass lens,12 cool white, very bright LED switchable on/off lights, on the underside to aid visibility. It requires two AA batteries (not included) and are to be housed in the handle. The body/frame is made from a durable white plastic with black trim. See the photographs. Claiming to be 30x (magnification?), all I can say is that this is the best hand held magnifying glass that I have used, with truly impressive magnification. The quality and effectiveness belies the price, which is competitive indeed. The light switch on the front of the handle, is ribbed for those with less dexterity than most. Due to using quality glass, instead of the now more common plastic for the lens, plus the useful batteries for occasional/additional illumination, gives this magnifier slightly more weight in the hand. Despite using prescription reading glasses, I still need extra help for poor quality print and the tiny writing used on food labels. This is my 'go to' magnifying glass in all cases. In fact, I bought an extra one for a neighbour who has failing eye sight and prefers this magnifying glass, above all his others. The cool white LED lights are a definite boon to clarity of vision. The famous London Baker Street detective, would clearly approve using one of these to see what's on, when he is still in the dark following a LED, I mean lead.

I bought this magnifying glass mainly to read food labels, as we have allergies in the house and the print on ingredients seems to get smaller every year. I also use it occasionally for the fine print on electronic devices. For these tasks it works very well, but I’m giving it four stars because I simply don’t believe it offers anything close to 30× magnification — I would say it’s more like three-times magnification in real-world use. The clarity at this level of magnification is very good. When you hold the lens directly over the text at 90 degrees, it stays clear across the entire viewing area. If you tilt the lens or move your eyes off-centre, you do start to see some distortion at the edges, and the “sweet spot” moves more towards the centre. The focal distance is short too — once you move more than around five centimetres away from the object, the sharpness drops towards the middle. The LEDs are bright and well spaced, and they do a good job of illuminating the whole viewing area evenly. The handle is comfortable and I don’t find the weight to be an issue. With batteries fitted it weighs around 335g, which feels solid rather than heavy, although I don’t use it for extended periods. The battery compartment is definitely a tricky one. Getting it open and closed takes a bit of effort and may be difficult for older hands, but once everything is in place the unit works perfectly. My small negative is simply that the magnification is nowhere near 30×, and because of that the focal distance is short. But for reading labels, ingredients and fine-print markings, it works exactly as I needed. I’ve included two photos: one showing the on/off switch on top, and one showing the underside with the LEDs illuminated so you can see the even spacing around the lens. Hope this helps

Excellent. Really good with very tiny print especially on some food labels.

A little on the heavy side, but good illumination of small details on puzzle pieces, and of course, reading small print in poor light, or with cataracts developing!

Heavier than I expected. Most importantly very poorly packaged see photos. Thats how the box was when I received the item.

Good works well

Really nice, great light but ive taken a star off as its quite heavy.

Good quality and value for money.

This magnafier is powerful and led's brilliant. I use it for tiny writing on adaptors and computers that can't be read with the naked eye. The lights make it. I was so happy I bought one as a gift.

ME SSORPRENDIO GRATAMENTE LA CALIDAD DE LA LUPA EN GENERAL Y POR SUPUESTO EL ALCANCE DE AMPLIACIÓN DE LA VISTA DE LOS OBJETOS QUE ENFOCAS, EL GRUESO DEL CRISTAL HABLA POR SI SOLO Y COMO UN PLUS; LA BUENA LUZ QUE DAN LOS DOCE FOCOS LED. SOY SINCERO QUE NO SABIA QUE ESPERAR PORQUE A VECES LOS COMENTARIOS SOBRE ALGUNOS PRODUCTOS NI SIQUIERA COINCIDEN CON EL PROPIO PRODUCTO Y EN UN COMENTARIO DECÍAN QUE LA LUPA ES PESADA Y DEFINITIVAMENTE ES ALGO PESADA PERO NO IMPORTA PORQUE TODO LO DEMAS REBASÓ MIS EXPECTATIVAS, DE HECHO VOY A COMPRAR OTRAS TRES QUE ME ENCARGARON FAMILIARES.

جيدة للقراءة فقط ولا تصلح لفحص للاشياء الدقيقة كالمجوهرات وغيرها

Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo. Lente d' ingrandimento perfetta, ha bisogno di due pile AA per il suo utilizzo e l' accensione dei led. La utilizza anche mia madre, vista la sua non più giovane età per la lettura delle micro scritte l' ha trovata veramente eccezionale. Consiglio l' acquisto.

O produto está muito longe de ampliar como promete, 30 vezes. De jeito nenhum. Talvez umas 5 ou 8 vezes. O cabo onde ficam as pilhas fica estalando como se algo não estivesse bem encaixado. Às vezes dá um mau contato na hora de ligar. As luzes LED ajudam muito. Talvez a minha deficiência visual esteja muito avançada para conseguir melhores resultados com essa lupa, mas está ajudando bem. Se o diâmetro fosse maior, para mim seria melhor, mesmo que fique mais pesada.
