A LED magnifier lamp is another type of lamp that helps relieve eyestrain while you do your close-up work. These types of magnifier lamps have a sturdy base and are built to be flexible and fully adjustable, employing a "gooseneck" design. Typical magnification power ranges from 2X to 6X.

LED lights have been rated to last 10 years with constant use, making them well worth the cost. They need less electricity and provide brighter illumination for less money than incandescent lights, also making them a more environmentally friendly option. They also can use either an AC adapter or batteries.

Some typical uses for an LED magnifier lamp would be; working on crafts, knitting, reading, hobby work, or any task that requires working with very small objects. The field of vision is not wide, but good enough for these types of tasks.

There is also a floor style of the LED magnifier lamp. The main differences are that this style has a much longer flexible neck to work with, and it also has a wider viewing area. You will typically find that the lens has a 5 inch diameter.
