Difficult to assemble and use
I bought it for my husband (who has vision issues). It is beautiful, appears sturdy, great lighting and magnification BUT, it is VERY difficult to put together(we had to HIRE someone to come in and assemble it)...it also is not very easy to adjust and use for different purposes. Great idea, just needs some refining for better use. -

I like the way this lights up my desktop. the magnifier is large enough to observe a full letter sized sheet from side to side w/o moving around. great for reading. A little more power would be nice for viewing small objects but the I suppose the field of view would then be diminished, so It strikes a good balance. -
I love this and perfect quality
Love it!! I use it to prepare fish fossils -

been looking for this light for about 2 1/2 years, to replace a very old and well used fixture. Had it out of the box in a half hour after it arrived. I use the c-clamp, and love it. Does all that I want. -
Love This Light
I am a knitter and have tried several different magnifying lamps to use at my table. This is great light. My husband mounted it to side of the table I usually sit at so I do not experience the "tipping" problem mentioned in other reviews. The first one we had had several led's burn out but Garrett Wade exchanged the light for another one eleven months after purchasing. What a great company. My husband called to let them know what was going on and their representative looked up the original purchase date and said it was still under the one year warranty and to send it back. Best light I have found for me. Will give it 5 stars if led's do not begin to burn out again. Would like to have given it 4 1/2 stars. -
Nice Try, But Back To The Drawing Board.
Great idea, but poorly designed. The friction devices in the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints are inadequate to support the weight of the illuminated head, which continues to sag and droop, making the lamp unusable. Sent mine back. Glad it had prepaid return UPS shipping - it weighed over 32 pounds.

Not useable for us.great fiddle factor.
Topples over at any distance from weighted stand. Arm will not support the weight of the lens and light head if used close to table top.

So Far...So Good
So Far, So Good...
I own a small hobby and toy shop and am constantly doing repairs to slot cars and other items with myriad small parts. This work lamp caught my eye and the timing couldn't have been better since GW was offering a special promo with free shipping! The lamp is substantial with a heavy and stable base which allows the 5x magnifying lens free range of my desk top without tipping over; a common problem I've experienced with other such products. The LED's are bright and the magnification is terrific. The only nit-pic is that the lens is not sharp at the edges requiring some adjustment of the item one is working on within the frame of the lens. I'd recommend this lamp highly regardless!
