There might be times when, once in a while, the need arises for a little aid in viewing something more clearly than just with the naked eye. Magnifier lamps not only provide this need by focusing in on the smallest of objects, but also light up the object so it is that much easier to see.  Not everyone will need assistance with full-time reading or working with smaller objects, but when they do, these lamps become a handy item to have in your possession.

There are many different styles and types of magnifier lamps available on the market today. The internet does bring a considerable selection of these directly to the customer via the computer. An internet search allows one to do side-by-side comparisons of this particular product.

Each supplier's or manufacturer's web site will have comprehensive descriptions of each individual model of lamp, including full-color pictures and dimensions of how far each one can be adjusted. Many of these magnifiers easily clamp onto the edge of the table or workbench, but there is more than one style that comes with a floor base, which allows it to be moved and placed anywhere that it is needed. This style is very convenient for use at home as there is not a need to attach to a base in order to use it.

The clamp on this style of magnifiers is intended for a much more solitary mounting. By attaching the clamp to a craft bench or work table, most of these will adjust from two to three feet from where they are mounted.  The spring-loaded arms counterbalance the weight of the magnifier and lamp to hold it above any item that needs to be looked at.

Many of these lamps come with a limited or a lifetime warranty, free shipping and handling and a few even come with an extra bulb included. The online suppliers also offer numerous discounts on one-of-a-kind and discontinued models. By browsing through their web sites, all the special offers that are available can be found.
