I own a SE Desk Magnifier lamp so I know what I got wasn't what DBROTH is advertising. I ended up with a lamp by HAWK, which is a cheap, worthless piece of junk. If you try to use the magnifier and bend the lamp part down, the whole lamp falls forward. The base is not heavy enough to support the lamp. The neck of the lamp is too flimsy to stay in position. What I got looked like it might have been a display model because it was badly scratched the the lid to the magnifier didn't lay flat. I returned the two lamps I bought and I am now trying another vender through Amazon. I was very disappointed with this vendor and product. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DID NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM FROM HOBBYTOOLSUPPLY. I am reordering this item from Hobbytoolsuppy and hopefully it will be the correct item. October 24th update: I have just received my new order from Hobbytoolsupply and they are in fact the SE lamps that are advertised by Hobbytoolsupply. I am very happy with my two new lamps. I do beading and these are perfect lamps for working with small beads. I would highly recommend these lamps as long as they are SE Lamps and not some cheap rip off look alike.

This has proven to be a tremendous benefit, reducing eye strain significantly when doing close work. The "ring" of non-glare, flourescent light around the lens enables you to clearly view detail on even the smallest of items. And, Anytime Tools customer service is second to none! You can't go wrong with this magnifier when you consider the cost versus most others on the market!Ron S.

If you use this magnifying lamp curved over, looking at something on the tabletop (as pictured and illustrated on its box) the whole lamp tips over. I don't know what the other reviewers are using it for (or how) but if your intent is to light and magnify small work on your table top (such as modeling or electronics)... FORGET IT. This lamp is awful unless you're willing to fix it by adding weight to the lamp base.Also, the magnifying lens only works correctly with the lens a precise, fixed distance from the table top and then a precise, fixed distance between your eyes and the lens. You can't vary one and compensate by adjusting the other. Just weird.
Not well thought out. Wouldn't recommend it. Won't buy it, or any other product from the company that made it.

The bulb shorted out as soon as the lamp was plugged in and a replacement can not be purchased. DB Roth (seller) can or will NOT replace the lamp or bulb so I have the option to pay shipping again to return it for a partial refund or just to foget about it. Either way the recipient doesn't get his Christmas gift, and I get only hassles!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for SE - Table Magnifier - Illuminated, Black, 5x, 3.5in. - MC353B
The GoodThe size and magnification of this lamp are just wonderful for working on projects that need a 5X magnification. I found the 12" neck to be a very good height for projects that I was holding in my hands. It would not, however, focus on anything laying on the table where the lamp was placed.The Bad Despite very limited use in terms of the length of time the bulb was illuminated, it burned out very, very rapidly. Rats!!
The Difficult The bulb in the lamp does not have a manufacturer listed and a call to the manufacturer of the lamp was worthless. Fortunately I was able to find a very nice replacement bulb from Global Industrial Equipment (13 Watt Energy Saving Fluorescent Bulb 6400K, Model 250939) which is carried by Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042RL6HI/ref=oss_product ). The replacement bulb fit perfectly and my magnifying lamp is as good as new. Given that this bulb is used in other lamps carried by Amazon, my hunch is that it will be much more durable than the original.
