Finding the best magnifying glass lamps
1. Finding the best Magnifying Glass Lamps
A magnifying glass lamp is two items in one: a lamp and a magnifying glass. It’s a lamp that has a
magnifying glass with light on the end of an adjustable arm that holds the lens in place.
Once we reach forty years of age, our eyes begin to have a harder time dealing with close work, and
studies prove that we also need better lighting as we get older. These two considerations are why
magnifying glass lamps are ideal for middle-aged and elderly people.
Sure, you can use reading glasses, but who likes to be taking glasses on and off all the time? I don’t know
about you, but I got awfully tired of searching for my reading glasses because I'd forgotten where I’d put
them. And anyway, glasses don’t give light.
You have a wide selection of magnifying lamps to choose from, so you’ll have some decisions to make.
First, you’ll have to decide where you’ll be using the lamp the most, as this will largely determine what
variety of lamp you’ll need. For example, if you love to read in the living room easy chair, a magnifying
floor lamp will probably be the best choice. If you generally do your close work in your study or office, a
magnifying desk lamp will probably be your best choice. If you read in multiple rooms, you might want
to get a portable magnifying lamp, or even obtain several magnifying lamps.
Floor Lamps
Magnifying floor lamps rest on the floor and have a base that is weighted enough to support an
adjustable arm that extends up and away from the base. They can be used in any part of a room, since
they don’t require a piece of furniture to fasten onto. They’re probably best in the living room, next to a
couch or easy chair, where guests and your whole family can make use of it. They’re usually light enough
to carry from room to room, but that can get old in a hurry.
Portable Lamps
Portable lamps are cordless, lightweight lamps that feature batteries in the base. Some can be clipped
onto a piece of furniture, while others are mainly intended to sit on a table lamp or desk. They feature
energy-efficient LED light bulbs that are practically indestructible and can withstand chilly temperatures,

room.
Desk Lamps
Ordinarily, this kind clips or clamps to the side of a table or desk. They’re perfect for computer or hobby
work, as well as for reading or other close work.
Amount of Magnification
You’ll also need to determine the amplification strength that you need. The best way to ascertain this is
to experiment with various magnifiers at the store. For example, take a book with you to the store, if
you’re mainly going to be using the lamp for reading. If you'd like a lamp for various tasks that require
different amplifications, you can purchase an adjustable lamp that allows you to change the
amplification. Be aware that increasing the amplification will narrow your field of vision.
