LightView Pro Magnifying Floor Lamp

[Color: White, Size: 3 Diopter (1.75x)]
Sturdy build, sufficient weight in the base for stability, gooseneck maintains position, this is a great light for my wife to crochet in bed.

I bought this floor lamp in December 2017, and it’s worked well overall. The base is heavy, which helps prevent the lamp from tipping. However, the lamp head is quite heavy, and over time the gooseneck starts to droop and won’t stay in position. I’ve tried bending the gooseneck back to counteract the drooping, which usually helps temporarily, but it has now led the light to flicker on and off.

Performance-wise, this is a great lamp. It has really helped me see my work! People should know, however, that it is heavy! I had hoped to transport it from one home to another but I can barely move it within the same room. I don't know how much it weighs (I am sure the specifications provide that information) and I am a relatively small person. Some people may not have any issue with it. Also, the assembly directions were very poor. My husband and I assembled it and kept commenting on how poorly the directions were written. Excellent quality and again, will definitely help me do my work.

After counting that I had six hand held magnifying glasses (some with lights) - and hearing an optometrist tell me that drugstore reading glasses now days were "the thing" or "progressives" in prescription glasses - I read about optics (which I have dozens of times) and finally decided to purchase this since it seems mostly five stars by most people who go to the trouble and expense to buy something best. One of the first things I noticed (I've had a mild eye infection that comes and goes that the optometrists have told me is pollen/pollution/dry eyes/blepharitis) - is that my eye glass frames I wear for long distances trap dirt and particles of different colors and even eye lash hairs. And I do clean these daily with the same sort of wipes that people who are particular about optics use (not a rag attached to a shirt pocket). Also - I noted the coatings that were on my glasses which by the way were the very expensive variety from Ophthalmology and Optometry assessments - the coatings are (were supposed to be non scratch) - scratched or nicked or bubbled. And - I had been making "flash cards" - grew frustrating because the molecular weights of some chemicals in a list did not make "logical sense" - to find that they do make sense - but even though I was using a hand held card to stay on the correct line with the other hand a pen - and then having to find a "third hand" way to magnify (I have a little weighted stand with a magnifying glass on it - I had skipped a line and so - written on the card the wrong thing. A larger card was not the solution - because I am studying medications that a pharmacist would counsel people about - and so if the normal human already has the "package insert" because all the writing on the bottle is too small and crowded to read (did I mention that I once was told I wrote a not so great brochure on some medications because it was too detailed and "busy" for a normal person to read and thus frustrating and so no one would ever read it?). This works. And - my whole life I have been told that I "hunch" over books and that I need to sit up straight and wear my glasses (a maneuver which never worked and one very smart academic ophthalmologist a long time ago told me it never would work so not to worry about it) and they would work but I had to "get used to them" - by the way - progressive lenses never work for me though I could wear the things - only good thing I can say about them is that once they probably saved my eye from damage from something a pair of wire cutters flicked off - because the frame was damaged by the high velocity particle. Like having to choose big double plates of lightweight (costly) lenses - to not work.More reasons this is great: Easy to sit down and adjust over a page - on a spring that is not wimpy (I do have other lights on goose necks and found some not useful because of the rotation or the springs - and be careful about lights on clamps as they can be difficult to adjust or the clamp too small for your table or the table edge in the way of your books... Just save your money and buy this from the start - I can scan the top of the chart for the headings - the side for the scale - the other sides and bottoms for scales - the annotations at the bottom for explanations of what the abbreviations mean - likely a lot faster than someone who can't figure out how to ask an app for what they need to understand overall to make it all logical. And - to see if there is a "P" value to a statistical chart or to find "what the heck" that is. The cord seems to be magnetized or pulls out easily from the lamp - so will pull out of the lamp if for some reason there is a problem and someone runs into it (something I always liked in a lamp or computer).I also was finally able to see what that little friable stuff was under my nails (I was sick for a little while and that area of my nail bed has been growing out - it is a little discolored - but I could not clean it out very nicely because I could not see to scrape just the nail underside and not the tender skin where the nail meets the nail bed. I just was able to do so - and it made me so happy that I decided to stop and write the review. I also probably will do some toe nail work - but I have a great deal to do and like to "space it out".I also bought a new hand held lighted magnifier of optical quality - because I noted that some crafters lights have also an insert that adds an extra magnifying ability in a spot area. So - I can't figure out diopters and things like that - but I can add (already easily found this) - the new hand held with this and increase my magnification.I was thinking that I needed (as I am studying to take a test to try to get into Pharmacy School) to solve this problem because I was reading that there were many things written on medication bottles that a Pharmacist needs to be able to see - if a person brings in their own bottle to get their prescri...

This light is exactly what I needed! I paint glasses, vases, dishes, mugs, etc. for a living and proper lighting is essential. Some lights cause eye fatigue, but this light casts a very bright beam that does not bounce off the glass. The goose neck allows me to easily and quickly adjust where the beam is too. Working with paints means I need to be able to work quickly, so being able to adjust the light rapidly and accurately is extremely helpful. The base is heavy, so the lamp stays put. You do need to make sure the light is bent over the base so the lamp does not fall over, but once I got the lamp situated over my work table (which took all of about 10 seconds) I have had zippy doo dah issues with the lamp tipping. I have never worked with a magnifying glass before. I will admit it took some getting used to, but now I can't live without it. It has allowed me to get more precise with my painting. The magnifying glass on this light is very clear and large too. I have looked at other magnifying lights before purchasing this one, but the magnifying glass was either small or distorted the image so much that it was worthless. Like everything else about this light, it is perfect for my needs. I have gone through many work lights over the years, and I was skeptical about buying a light at this price point as many of the lights I have rejected or broke quite quickly were a LOT more expensive. I took a chance on this one because I had a large order to get out and I could get this light quickly. Although I have only had it a few weeks, so far, it has been EXACTLY what I need. Speaking of getting it quickly, I am a Prime member so I could get this within 2 business days for free or pay a bit more and get it the next day. I opted to go with the free shipping. Much to my surprise, the light was delivered the next day anyways!!!! As for the assembly, it was 2 screws, a bit of tightening, and plugging it in. I had the light together in about 2 minutes - easy peasy lemon squeezy. Honestly, this entire purchase was FLAWLESS. If you are looking for a task light, I highly recommend this one.

I bought this mostly for doing beaded needle work and jigsaw puzzles. I'm avid about reading reviews before I buy something and got a kick out of the lady who said her husband had taken over her lamp for his projects. I thought it was really funny until I caught my partner checking out my lamp -- he was impressed with the magnification and the light. The light is very bright but very easy on my eyes. The magnification is great for working with small beaded projects.You would need to be in the right kind of seat/chair for the magnifying part to work correctly. Most of our furniture and the arrangement makes that awkward, but I will figure it out when I get out my needle point project. I'm am so thrilled to find this lamp. Between vision changes and aging, it's wonderful that I can now do the crafts I love so much.As many reviewers said, the base of this lamp is heavy which makes it very sturdy for swiveling the lamp around. While that part is good, it makes it a bit awkward to move from room to room. Because I want to use it between the living room any my craft room/office, I'm thinking about getting a small wheeled stand to make it easier to move it about.It was very easy to put together. The one thing the instructions did not point out the twist lock between the upper metal arm and the white part of the base. Maybe I'm slow, but it took a while to figure out that turning that white piece of plastic provided the tension needed to keep the upper part of the light from swiveling willynilly while I was trying to do some bead work.Even if you don't need magnification for projects, I would recommend the lamp for the incredible light. Thanks to the many reviewers who helped me choose this product.Lastly, the Brightech company contacted me by email soon after I brought the lamp to insure that I was happy with the product. It's really nice to buy from a company who cares about the quality of their product and the satisfaction of the consumers who buy it.

4 Stars with ReservationsI like this light. It is great for helping me with my cross stitch, applique and hand work. It is seriously good. For that, I would give it 5+ stars. However, my reservations are that the light has some stability issues. I have a hand weight on the base of my light. The other issue is when you pull the light over your work, it wants to move away. No matter how much I have the hubby work on it, it has trouble staying where placed. As a stitcher or anybody else would imagine, this light needs to be over the top of the work in order to provide light and magnification. When you need to turn your work to tie off a thread or to get up from your chair, you need to be able to move the light. Then when you are ready to resume stitching, rotate the light back to over the work area. This light just doesn't want to do that and remain where placed.I have recommended the light to others in my stitching group for the great magnification and light (older eyes here). For my purposes, it is a fantastic tool. Just be prepared to do some serious tweaking to keep it where you want it. Oh, for all those out there asking, yes, the light is on a level floor. Additionally, if you are in a recliner, it is difficult to get the light to the middle of your work. The lamp base is large and the base of the chair will prevent the light base from sliding under the chair. This will keep the light from being over the center of your work. Since my chair needs replacement, I will not be getting a rocker/recliner to replace it but a stationary chair that allows me to put the base under the side.​ I need the light closer more than I need to recline. Other than the issues I have written, the light is great. Just know you will have to tweak with the placement of the light.

I was very worried about this product. I read all the reviews on this one and several others. I ordered this because it said it has 60 LED lights then I thought it might be too bright. When I got the magnifyer I was very impressed on how heavy the base was. I have sevearl dogs and did not want them to knock it over. No way that will happen! It slides easily on the carpet so it's not hard to move around despite the weight of it. Some people said it's too tall but I have a reclining chair which is not real high off the ground. I'm 5 ft 4 inches and my feet touch the floor! I was able to bend the flexible arm (it's a bit stiff but I like that becuase it does not just fall down and stays where you put it) at about a 90 degree angle then made a slight dip (like an U shape) more towards the magnifier end. Now it's short of a slight S shape which works perfectly. I can swing the magnifier away when I am not using it so I can easily get up out of the chair. The magnification itself is wonderful. I wear glasses and can use both at the same time. It's very clear and makes cross stitching so much more enjoyable now that I can see what I am doing! Back to the LED lights. The description says 60 LED lights but I counted only 42. The description should be changed but even so the light is quite bright. As someone else said it takes a second or two for your eyes to adjust to it but I am VERY glad I bought this instead of the ones with less lights. I have a feeling my husband is going to steel it once he tries it. I would recommend this to anyone who does cross stitching or any sort of needle point. It would probably be good for reading also and other small crafty things. I absolutely love it!
