What we liked

  • + Rectangular 5 x 3 inch real glass lens gives a wider view than the round lenses on most clamp lamps
  • + Ring LED with 5 color modes and stepless brightness, switched from a button on the lamp head
  • + Dual-axis head adjustment and a swing arm with four heavy-duty springs, held to the bench by a clamp

Trade-offs

  • - Little-known brand, and the listing states 10X without giving a diopter rating for the lens
  • - Arm reach and clamp opening are not clearly stated, so check the listing against your bench thickness
