This is a nice lamp. The bulb is color-balanced and very bright. The two lenses are real glass, both clear and bright. Overall construction seems very good, the pivot points are smooth and tight and the frame seems solid. It stays where you put it. My only negative is with the clamp-on portion, which could be a bit larger and stronger, although it isn't bad. In my case, I don't use the clamp anyway, just drilled a 1/2" hole near the edge of my workbench and the light fits solidly in the hole and isn't in the way.
Overall, I give it 5 stars for the quality of the light, the lenses, and the arm mechanism, as well as the overall design and slim size. I might knock off a half-star for the table clamp if I could. Check out others like this (I looked at dozens) and you'll see that most are more expensive and possibly not as good. Completely satisfied with this purchase.

This lamp is AWESOME. It's the same one sold in the Universal Catalogue for Aestheticians at $109.00. There's no distortion and provides great day-like light. Holds its place when adjusted using the screw bracket, it's not a gooseneck. You can't just grab and turn this one with one hand, like most of us tend to do. Best for single technician use or shared use, if you get other users to adjust the tilt and position properly, so as not to strip the bracket.Best Deals for Daylight Slimline Magnifying Lamp
The lamp is 22 watts but puts out enough light to be used as a ceiling light in a small room (10x10feet). It adjusts from 8 inches above the desk to about 42 inches above the desk. The desk being 30 inches off the floor. The adjustments are smooth and positive. Once adjusted it stays adjusted. No sign of droop. It swings 180 degrees in its mounting in my installation. The movement is smooth and positive.It comes with two lenses (high and low magnification) that are high quality glass and easily interchangable.
The lamp gets warm but not hot. It uses an electronic ballast that is quiet both audibly and electrically. I use a lot ot electronic equipment that is sensitive to electrical noise. This lamp does not appear to produce any electrical interference.
In very small print on the box there is the declaration 'made in china'. The lamp it is replacing was also made in china and was a useless piece of junk. I guess the new lamp was made by a company that knows how to make lamps because this Daylight lamp is high quality, superbly functional, and only cost about $40 more than I paid for my previous junky lamp..
Honest reviews on Daylight Slimline Magnifying Lamp
This lamp is a wonderful tool for anyone who needs to inspect or work with items that must be magnified for ease of manipulation. For years I sat at my table with two pairs of glasses on. Stupid!I chose to buy a lamp/magnifier (in one) rather than an appliance that has separate arms for the light source and the magnifier. The clamp-on mount I find a bit wobbly, but that does not concern me too much. The lamp itself does not get hot when lit, and perfect for beading work. Just the other day it became my operating theater as I removed a garden splinter!
Here's a safety tip: My work station is in front of a window, and if you remember from camping, magnified sunlight can start a fire. I simply made a fabric bag to cover the lamp head when it is not in use. The added benefit is the glass does not get dusty, either.

I use this for miniatures painting:Pros:
Great, bright light.
You don't have to kiss the magnifier to see clearly through it and nor does what you are trying to magnify!
Doesn't get scolding hot.
Stays in place.
Moves well and the mounting clamp is good.
Magnifying lenses are nice, big and a breeze to change out.
Cons:
Expensive. But with this being the only con I've found so far I would say it's worth the money for sure.
Loved it so much I gave one to my father in law who does bird carving; He loves it just as much!
