Question 1

I just order the lamp but my husband is blind in the left eye and the right needs 10X can I get the lamp in this magnification?

Accepted Answer

Donna, I have never seen a lighted mag lamp like this in that level of magnification.  Since you have already ordered it, try it out, you might be pleasantly surprised.  My wife has Macular Degeneration and loves this lamp.  We have been using it on (the same) battery power since December.  The LEDs are bright and make a huge difference.  I also purchased a table top lamp (different mfr) that is equally as good and useful for reading or working at the table.  Best wishes to your husband and to you.

Question 2

Would this be an appropriate lamp/magnifier to use when quilting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works for quilting. I use it for machine and hand quilting as well as machine & hand sewing. I also use it for beading and reading. The area is covers isn't big so you have to adjust it as you go but that's super easy given it's easily bendable accordion neck & actually makes staying on track easier. I even angle it in front of my sewing machine so I can see clearly when doing machine embroidery & pretty much everything else. The light isn't bright enough to use alone in a dark room but a nearby lamp or other light source should be used anyway. Never use these lamps with no other light source in the room. I love my lamp. It's everything I hoped for and more. You get 100,000 hours of light with this lamp. The lights can't be replaced that I can see. I've had mine for a very long time now, use it about 8 - 10 hours a day and it's still going strong.

Question 3

Is this lamp base heavy enough that it won't topple every time you need to move the magnifier?

Accepted Answer

I put my foot on the base to readjust the angle etc.  (bending the neck)   Otherwise the handle, on the light lets me move it around easily.  I have not had a tipping problem.  I really love this lamp.

Question 4

how do I open the battery department to replace batteries

Accepted Answer

The battery compartment on mine is actually quite easy to open.  I can just slip my nails in the crack at the top back and push slightly and it slips right off.  You could also use the tip of a butter knife or something similar to slip in the crack and nudge it open, then it will simply slide off.  To get it back on, make sure you line up the top up level and slide it right up through the little plastic "holders" that are on both sides.
