{"product_id":"bench-magnifier-lamp","title":"Bench magnifier lamp, USB powered","description":"\u003cp\u003eA loupe and a desk lamp are two things to hold and one hand left over. This is a lens with the light built around it, clamped to the bench, staying where you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e72 LEDs in a ring around the lens, three colour temperatures, metal clamp, USB powered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe light ring is the real feature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lamp beside you throws your own hand's shadow onto the work - exactly where you are looking. A ring around the lens lights from the same direction you are viewing, so there is no shadow in the middle of the thing you are doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree colour temperatures matter more on a bench than they sound. Cool white shows scratches and edges; warm shows solder wetting and oxide; the middle is easiest to work under for an hour. Switch, do not squint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUSB, not mains\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs on 5 V from a USB port - a phone charger, a laptop, a power bank. There is no mains transformer in the housing. That is a deliberate preference on our side: a low-voltage lamp on a bench where you are also holding metal is a simpler thing to be responsible for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it stops\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListings in this category quote magnification figures that do not survive contact with an optics bench, so we are not repeating one. It is a bench magnifier - it makes small work comfortable to see and lets you keep both hands free. It is not a microscope. If you need real magnification, that is the USB microscope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seller does not publish the lens diameter and we have not measured one. If the exact lens size decides your purchase, ask us first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clamp needs an edge to grip. It will not stand on a table by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mikrabench","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47513175195839,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/5826\/3743\/files\/S8b7bdecd332340e6af39bff910b7cc7fz.webp?v=1789880336","url":"https:\/\/arvonelle.com\/products\/bench-magnifier-lamp","provider":"ARVONELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
