The construction is all plastic except for the internal heat shield and glass lens. Even the base housing is plastic, but there is some weight in the base for stability probably the ballast.

I have been looking for a good magnifying lamp for modeling and I found one. This lamp has a very bright light and an excellent magnifier. The lamp has a heavy base and thus will not tip over. It has a long flexable neck and the lamp never gets hot. This is an excellently made product with quality construction. I expect it to last for years. The bulb is easy to replace and readily available. Great price!Best Deals for Normande Lighting 12W Daylight Desk Lamp w/ Magnifier 17.5" in
I love this lamp! It has a heavy base, great natural light, and wonderful magnifier. I use it for sewing, gluing, and fixing small items. Recently I replaced a worn-out clasp on a gold chain, which couldn't be done with out this light.Honest reviews on Normande Lighting 12W Daylight Desk Lamp w/ Magnifier 17.5" in
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program And I wear bifocals so I know of what I speak:-) This is made in China and I suppose that is expected of all we buy nowadays? But this could be a poster boy for "cheap" made in China product. The finish on mine arrived marred with poor paint. The magnification lens is pretty badly distorted in several areas. It may help some but may HURT you if trying to get a splinter out etc? And while it has that magnification it does NOT have that little 1 or 2 inch inset with a "double" magnification for splinter removal type work either. I guess if there is a single good thing I can say about the magnifier is this. It has a built in cover to HIDE all the flaws and deficits it offers......Warranty is what you may call a scam as well since you pay round trip shipping which I am sure is about what it costs to make this lamp in China. I find that distasteful to say the least. I would give this 2 stars max considering all I see as negatives but at least it doesn't fall over. Although maybe if it does, it will be to commit suicide? The base seems weighted with a ballast to possibly prevent that however. I give this a very shaky 3 stars. If my bulb dies in 3 months I will drop it however since some have reported that being an issue as well. My wife is using it to thread needles. Just what I need, a wife with sharp objects.....
