Too Tall!

I have had several Ottlite floor lamps with magnifiers, but wanted a new one in case the lights started to burn out. My husband was looking for a Christmas gift so I suggested this lamp. On Christmas Day we assembled it and when I sat in my chair with the light at my side, the glass was about a foot over my head. I could not see through it. I had no choice but to return the lamp.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My boss bought the floor lamp with excitement since it had a magnifying lense as well LED light for one of our patient's room. It did not last not even two weeks when the hand held part started to come apart from the base. It could not handle to constant movement. I must say it was a great product until it came apart. We had to trashed it.

I had been using this floor lamp/magnifier for needlepointing. I began to notice that my eyes tired, my vision blurred, and my sleep patterns were off kilter. Some research indicated it is the brightness of the LED bulbs in this lamp. When I quizzed my ophthalmologist about this, she said it is the brightness and the blue light issue common to ultra-bright LEDs, and she said that even blue light filter glasses won't adequately address the problem. I no longer use the magnification unless absolutely necessary, and instead have the lamp over my shoulder, and pointed so that it does not shine directly on my work. It would be great if these lamps came with warm white bulbs instead. Were it not for this issue, which is threatening the health of my aging eyes, I would heartily recommend the lamp. As it stands, caveat emptor.

Great product if it would only last

I’ve bought 3 of these lamps over a period of a number of years because they all start break down. They are fantastic for crossstitching. My last purchase was Perhaps 2 years ago. There is a plastic housing that holds the light positioned and another at the base to adjust the positioning of the lamp (reaching out or back). Metal screws in plastic housing wear out the plastic which cause the lamp to not stay in place. Also the housing at the base has worn out. Will not stay in place any longer. Perhaps a metal housing with metal screws would solve the problem.

Easy to maneuver the lighted magnifier into place. Puts the light on my project while not shining in my eyes.

Disappointed

I bought a battery operated magnifying floor lamp 2 years ago and enjoyed using it. My daughter has it now and it appears that model is no longer available so I bought the floor/table model for myself. I am disappointed that it lacks the flexibility of the first lamp. I cannot get the magnifier over my cross stitch to comfortably work. It does not matter which chair I sit in; the magnifier is too high and won’t bend to position over my work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great lamp/light to have. We have an earring business and the magnifier on this light sure makes putting those earrings together much easier! It can be a stand lamp or desktop so convenient for us! Highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this light about a month ago and it’s awesome. I’ve had other magnifying lights but none can compare the light is bright and the magnifier lenses is huge and no shadows on your work piece
I would recommend this to a friend!
