I had high hopes for this lamp because of the large size of the magnification area and the fact that it has bright, cool burning, long-life LED lights. I bought this lamp as a gift for my elderly mother to use for craft work and reading, but when I gave it a pretrial run I realized it would not be suitable for her. While the concept of the larger magnification area is good, in reality I did not find it functional for what it would be used for. I found you must hold your work or reading material within 3 inches of the magnifier in order for it to appear clearly. Due to the heads large size, this in itself is difficult to do because it prevents you from easily getting your hands in the right position under the lens to work or read properly without distortion. The magnifier itself is not optical glass; instead a plastic magnification sheet has been added underneath the lens. The 'ringed' ridges in this sheet are always in view and hinder what you are looking at. In short, I knew this would be a source of irritation to my mother as it was to me. Also, the 12 LED lights were not really adequate enough light to work with. It could easily stand having twice the number. Then too, because the lights are located only on the outside corners of the viewing surface, my hands would cast shadows when held in various positions thereby decreasing the available light. Once again this is because you have to hold them so close to the magnifier for clarity. All in all, this was not what I had hoped for and so have returned this item and ordered Quality Magnifier Floor Lamp for Reading - X-Large Lens - 60 LED for a hopefully better product fit!
