The stepless dimmable light is a game-changer. With 5 color modes, it provides me with the flexibility to choose the perfect lighting for different stages of my work – from assembling to painting.

The lamp is powered by USB. The cord is about 3 feet long. You can purchase a USB extension cable if you need it to be longer. The nice thing about this feature is I can take the lamp to places that do not have AC power. I powered this from a cigarette lighter USB socket in my car with a 6 foot extension cord and it worked great.
The glass is decent quality for what I need it for: soldering or fine cutting with a hobby knife. I purchased another lamp with 10x magnification and found it had too much distortion. This lamp has 5x magnification and it is just right. You will need to bring things that you want to work on to within a few inches of the glass to have it be in focus. My photos show the focus of a machinist rule both in and outside of the glass.
Having the clamping and stand mounting methods is a nice feature. I initially used the stand and found that it took 2 hands to make an adjustment to the lens location; One hand to hold the base and one to move the glass. Not a big deal because the glass always stayed in place after I was finished moving it. In the end I found that the clamp just worked better for me because it took up less table space. Great to have options.
Overall I like the lamp and think it is a good value for home use. If you are in need of your first magnifying lamp, this is good choice.
