LightView Pro LED Magnifying Floor Lamp

I was reluctant to spend $100, but it turns out to be the best investment I have made this year. I was struggling with tired eyes and blurred/poor vision when doing cross-stitching and beading after short periods of time. I was at the point where my eyes were be sorely strained after 1 hr. and I was losing the joy of crafting. I thought my eyesight was deteriorating and I needed new glasses. This light/magnifier is wonderful. I can now work on my projects for 4-6 hrs a day without any eye strain, in complete comfort, wearing my reading glasses. It's really quite amazing. PROS: 1. Easy to assemble. Arrives very well packaged. 2. The light is a nice bright, white(not yellow) showing the true colors of your work and never, ever gets hot. (even after being on for 6+ hrs) 3. The magnifying area is nice and large, so I can work with my hands, arms and neck in a natural and comfortable position. I dont have to adjust my body position to the magnifier, which is quite wonderful. 4. The magnifier is clear and excellent quality glass. No distortion. The 7X magnification is perfect. I can see a large area of my work in beautiful detail. If I need more magnification, I simply pull the head a tad closer. Easy to clean with a soft cloth. 5. The magnifier head articulates in all directions. Up/Down, Left/Right and spins 360 degrees. I particularly like that once I have it at a comfortable height, if I adjust my position in my chair, I can simply tip the magnifier a smidge to the correct angle and continue working. It always stays put in the exact position I set it to. 6. Easy to adjust the flex-arm and height. Easy to swivel the head is very tiny adjustments. 7. The flex-arm is plenty long enough to position comfortably over my La-Z-Boy recliner. 8. Base is well weighted, so as long as you position the magnifier head directly over the base, this lamp is very stable and will not tip over. CONS: 1. You do have to make sure the magnifier head is aligned horizontally above the base to prevent this from tipping over. 2. Not a real CON, but I do wish the cord was longer. I did have to buy an extension cord 3. You do need to use two hands to grip the lower pole to move this into position by lifting gently and sliding it across the floor/rug. The weighted base is heavy and you have to be careful not to pull the pole out of the base when moving it.

To the sellers of the Brightech LightView Pro LED Magnifying Floor Lamp: I purchased the lamp for my 97 year old mother who is in assisted living. Her eyesight is failing, and she has had problems reading. I have tried a number of hand-held magnifying glasses, but with the arthritis in her fingers and the difficulty of holding a book and a magnifying glass at the same time, she despaired of being able to read again. She is one of the most alert of the clients at her assisted living facility so this has been depressing for her. She has also had to all but give up on reading email on the computer because of her vision problems. So the other day I presented her with the Brightech lamp. We set it up beside her couch near her computer. The lamp can be swung over the couch for reading or moved to the front of her computer screen. Once we got it set up, we gave it a try. I only wish you could have been there to see the expression on her face and hear the joy in her voice. We were both amazed. The lamp performed exactly as promised, and my Mom is able to read books again as well as read her computer screen. She has expressed her delight to me every day since the purchase. Finally, she has been given back the ability to read and continue exploring the world through books and the internet. Oh my, you have no idea how happy she this has made her. It's also a burden off me because I felt so sorry for her. I was working with a lawyer yesterday who recently hired a vision impaired associate. I told him about the lamp, and he is going to purchase one for his associate to further accommodate her vision challenges. So you see, the product sells itself. The lamp is well-constructed, sturdy, and easy to set-up. You can tell it's made from quality materials, and the light is magnificently bright. It's just a wonderful lamp. The price is affordable and well worth it. So thank-you so much for designing and manufacturing this great product. You should sleep with a smile on your face tonight because you have given vision and renewed hope and joy to a lady approaching her 100th year of life. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Works well allowing gift recipient opportunity to read and do needlework more easily. Light is bright and can be positioned conveniently. Only downside is that it is heavy. Probably do to prevent tipping but for an older person, not easy to move from one spot to another.

I have a back problem and the base of these things is so heavy it had crushed the styrofoam surroundings inside of the box and when I opened this light, all those little white beads went all over my dining room floor. I have a back problem and literally was unable to pick up the base to put it together. I had to wait for someone to help me. The assembly was very easy, but took two of us because the base was like lead. Now that being said, the light is 10X brighter than my old one that gave up the ghost. The magnifier was much greater than on my old one. It is way easier to sew by and thread a needle with. It sits very steady on my hardwood floor in the den and has never tipped over. Probably not so great on a thick pile rug, but that's not my problem. If I were going to improve this lamp at all, I'd have a 3 click switch. OFF, ON a little bit for just a little bit of light to maybe read by late at night, and full on for sewing and working on several documents at once on a lap board. That's the only improvement I could think of because it is almost perfect. Very heavy and sturdy. Much more than I even imagined. Won't fall over while you are using it like my old one. Oh and the light swivels nicely. You can aim your light at the wall. My old one wouldn't do that. If you are looking for some very bright light to aid you in sewing on your machine, this would be excellent since it can be directed where desired and is quite bright.

Très pratique pour la lecture des petits caractères, la couture, le manucure et pédicure, ainsi que l'application de vernis à ongles. Fabrication de qualité. Ampoules très claires permettant une meilleure vision. Loupe offrant un large champ visuel sans distorsion. J'en ai acheté pour des personnes ayant un problème de dégénérescence maculaire et elles en sont très satisfaites.

Purchased for my mother who has AMD. She is thrilled with it. She just needs to remember to use it. Only fault was it arrived with USA plug do we had to purchase an adapter

Although I had to be patient regarding the wait for delivery, it was so worth the wait! Some are concerned about the weight of the base... I have no problem with that at all! It assures sturdiness! Packaging afforded good protection! It was very easy to put together! I am so happy with both the magnification AND the light! I also really like the maneuverability of the magnifying glass and light. A beautiful perk is that it is white which works beautifully in my home! I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase and highly recommend it!!!

Took a while to get through customs. All arrived . Well packed. Just remember you need a UK plug converter. The plug it comes with is US two pin and is large . I waited till the item came before ordering one.

Muy buen producto, útil y práctico, lente de muy buen tamaño para apoyar la visión en trabajos manuales que requieren manipular piezas pequeñas. No le pongo las 5 estrellas solo porque me parece que requiere ruedas para facilidad de mover la lampara, ya que la base es pesada.
