While magnifying glasses work well to enlarge text or the surface of an object, a lighted surface is often needed for professionals who require precision in their craft, such as jewelers or craftsman. In these circumstances, an ordinary lamp is just inadequate to provide the right levels of lighting. This is where magnifying lamps come into the picture.

Magnifying lamps are specially made to project the right amounts of light suited for magnification. In addition, with near zero light refraction, you’ll be sure not to get a glare when focusing on surface of the magnified object. Apart from that, this clever apparatus allows you to work hands-free with minimal obstruction as it is usually mounted on an extended and flexible arm system. Also, this means that these lamps are sturdy without taking up additional space on your table.

For instance, the Clamp-on magnifier lamp utilizes magnifying lenses which are 5 inches in diameter, capable of enlarging magnified objects by 75%. The accompanying 22-watt lamp provides a halo of white light precisely on the spot being magnified.

Fashionable Floor Lamps Can Also Magnify

An alternative to the mounted magnifier lamp would be a standing magnifier lamp. While the extended arm and the lens used for this map is similar to the mounted version, the standing magnifying lamp can be placed next to a reading couch to magnify reading material. With this, you no longer have to hold your magnifying glass while reading and are free to sit comfortably on your chair.

A good example of this product would be the Professional's Illuminated Magnifier Lamp (http://www.hammacher.com/publish/67468.asp?promo=xsells), which is built with a steel frame for added durability. In addition, with two colors available for this magnifier lamp, you have a choice to pick one that will suit your room décor. Also, weighing only 43 lbs, this standing magnifier lamp is easy to move around should you need to redesign your room. The extended arm that holds the lens and the lamp can be rotated at 180 degrees, which means that it is movable to suit your sitting position.

Ultimately, your usage purpose determines your decision on the right magnifier lamp. If you are using the lamp for work on a desk, then the mounted magnifier lamp would be ideal for you. On the other hand, the standing magnifying lamp will work great to enlarge fine print on a page.
