These lights have a longer reach and hold their position better than gooseneck-arm lights, especially around vibration. Attach them to your workspace for additional lighting. All are furnished with LEDs that last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than other light technologies.

Lights with a cool or daylight appearance highlight white/blue tones, which is good for inspecting.

Add light to your work area without sacrificing desk space. These floor lamps have a long lens and an any-which-way arm for even, adjustable lighting across an entire work surface. While flexible, the arm holds its shape once you set it. The glare-free LEDs shine at a daylight temperature that’s ideal for inspecting small parts and other detailed work. With a color rendering index (CRI) of 95, these lights make colors look natural and vibrant. This is ideal in offices for visual comfort or workspaces where color accuracy is important. Toggle between four levels of brightness as needed. The head rotates, so you can direct light where you need it. A built-in USB-C port lets you charge your phone and other accessories.

Though not as bright as our miniature fiber-optic lights, these lights have built-in LEDs that last longer, are more efficient, and are more affordable. Use them to illuminate small and microscopic parts. They have a daylight appearance that highlights white/blue tones, which is good for inspecting.

Look your best on video calls—these lights provide even, shadow-free lighting for a bright and natural look. Brightness and light appearance are adjustable. Choose warmer tones for a natural glow or cooler tones for enhanced detail. For softer light, slide the silicone diffuser over the lens. All run on a battery for cord-free use, but you can keep them charging while they’re on if you’d like.

Weighted-base lights sit directly on your desk. An adjustable-height stand and a head that pivots in all directions ensure you’ll be well lit in any position. Remove them from the base to use them like a clip-on light.

Bend the lamp and magnifying lens to any position—they’re mounted on separate arms for a flexible, hands-free setup. These magnifiers have a weighted base that holds them in place while you inspect parts, record observations, and make repairs with both hands. Peer through the bifocal lens to view parts at four times their size. Or angle the lamp to spot issues that are difficult to detect under overhead light, such as surface scratches or soldering defects.

Sturdy but flexible, these illuminated magnifiers have a weighted base to keep them still without tethering them to your workbench. A ring of LEDs creates even lighting for shadow-free inspections of electronics, soldered assemblies, and other parts full of nooks and crevices. Adjust the brightness with the dimmer to reduce glare on reflective surfaces. The sturdy pivoting arm holds its position more rigidly than gooseneck arms.

Magnifiers with a steel arm are more durable and less likely to dent than those with an aluminum arm. Magnifiers with an aluminum arm are lighter in weight than those with a steel arm.

Magnifiers with an enclosed spring block debris from getting stuck and hindering arm movement. Magnifiers with an open spring are lightweight and have knobs at the top of the arm to precisely adjust the position of the lens. The springs are easy to clean but require more maintenance because dust and debris can get stuck in them.

Magnifiers with a pivoting head let you adjust the lens up and down independently of the arm. Magnifiers that have heads with 360° rotation let you adjust the lens in all directions for precise angling.

Magnifiers with a neutral light appearance look less blue than those with a cool or daylight light appearance, causing less strain on your eyes over longer periods of use. Magnifiers with a daylight light appearance produce a crisp and clean light ideal for inspection. They’re brighter than those with a neutral light appearance and highlight white and blue tones.

Magnifiers with an ESD-safe (electrostatic discharge) coating dissipate static electricity, so they won’t pass along harmful charges if they touch sensitive components.

Use an add-on lens for greater magnification. To calculate overall magnification, add the magnification strength of the add-on lens with the strength of the existing lens.
