Magnifying Glass with Light, 30X Handheld Large Magnifying Glass 12 LED Illuminated Lighted Magnifier for Macular Degeneration Seniors Reading Inspection Coins Jewelry

Very compact and lighting is great

Its big and heavy - at least for me. It doesnt magnify as much as I would have thought for the size. Just not as useful as I had hoped.

The magnifying glass is a bit large for my hand. However, this item appears to be durable, and the light is a great feature. I would purchase this item again.

I purchased one for my father-in-law, who was legally blind, and he loved it. I liked it so much I ordered one for myself.

There is a circle of LEDs (12) that a few said focused the light into a ring pattern leaving the center relatively bare. I disagree with that! It is one of the first things I checked and I found the light pattern to be an even spread. Also. I found the brightness to be just right but not so bright that it causes glare. I cannot recommend this magnifier for reading, per se, if that is what you are needing. The field is too narrow for reading (although I suppose you could) but is perfect for very fine print or fine detail. I always have a magnifier within arms reach for that purpose. I got exactly what I wanted and Im pleased with it. There might be a better one out there even for the money but frankly I got tired of looking. Yes, I checked all of my local brick and mortar stores too. It looks and feels to be solidly constructed albeit a little heavy and bulky. (Which is my only complaint)

Light

It is as advertised but they did not supply 2 AA batteries , but for the price I guess it is OK.

My mom fell in love with this the first time she used it. It is bright enough for even her vision and gives her enough reading area for her reading needs. I have not used it so i have to go on her praises. At 93 she has a hard time finding things that are big enough, bright enough or clear enough to help. This is all three. Good quality and looks to be well made. I recommend it.

Nice quality and easy to use

Print on some things were becoming harder to read. Just a magnifying glass wasnt enough. This with light attached, makes big difference. Easy to install batteries. Love it.
