SE Table Magnifier Lamp - 5X - Fluorescent Light (Black)

Product Description


This lamp is a terrific accessory for the craftsman, hobbyist, mechanic and jeweler. It puts shadow-free lighting around a 3½ in. diameter, 5 power lens to let you see small parts and fine details, and is excellent for precision work. With a compact base measuring only 7½ in. x 6 in., it takes up very little room on your workbench. The goose neck lets you put the light and the magnification where you need it. Other features include a heavy metal base for stability and a flip-down cover to keep the magnifier free of dust.

Technical Details

  • 5X Magnifying glass lens
  • Sturdy base with 12'' flexible arm for convenience on your desktop, table or workbench
  • Lamp produces a cool-white light that renders colors perfectly to the user's eyes
  • Flexible gooseneck design allows the user to adjust the lamp to various heights and positions

Customer Reviews


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.

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.
