30X 40X Magnifying Glass with Light and Stand, Non-Rechargeable, Folding Design 32 LED Illuminated for Close Work, Handheld Large Glasses Reading, Powered by Battery or USB

This item turned out way better than expected! The led's surrounding the magnifying glass are very bright and illuminate whatever is under it perfectly. Too bad you can't change the color temperature and you can't dim it. It has only one button to press. Press once and the led's surrounding the magnifying glass turn on. A second press and a dedicated led for the small 40X lens lights that spot nicely. A third press of the button and 2 small UV led's light up under the 30X magnifying glass, supposedly to inspect documents and currency bills.Being able to stand on its own makes it way better than a standard hand held magnifying glass. It's a tiny bit bulky, but it's fine for the size of the lens. It's perfect for my use in soldering projects. As far as powering the unit, you can use 3 AAA batteries, but I avoid using them whenever possible. Too many times during those periods that you don't use a device and don't remove the battery, you end up with corroded battery terminals from battery leakage. I have an old 5700 Mah portable cell phone battery that used to be sufficient to charge up my cell phone a long time ago. I was about to toss it out when I realized I could use it to power the magnifying glass. The battery is only 3.5 inches long, so it's not bulky or heavy. I now have a new use for this battery! Despite the led's being so bright, I charged the battery only once and I've used the magnifying glass several times and for long durations, and the battery status still shows 4 dots, so it's a great way to make this magnifying glass very portable without looking for an AC outlet and an adapter or running out of batteries. Very happy with this purchase!

The media could not be loaded. Update: the light that I was saying it was a “UV light” is not a UV light! My mistake! It’s just 1 led light but it did appear as a UV light at first. First of all this is a great bang for your buck! Nicely priced and feels well made. It does not come with batteries but it does come with a usb cable to connect to a power source. It’s nice and bright making it easy to see in a dark environment. Super easy to use with adjusting light and magnification. It pulls low power as seen in the video it only consumes 1 watt on the highest setting. The lowest one doesn’t even register on the drawing power display. Highly recommend this magnifier!

This is a handy & useful unit. It has a few applications, so those depend on what you need? I mostly like it for the lights. I can turn it on & add more light to the area that I'm working on. I mostly use this for my 3D prints.Sometimes I want a little more light to see the finer details. Whether I'm painting or chasing away random threads. Seeing it has a bottom, it can stand alone. You don't need to use the lens (glass). It also has some other settings for the level or type of illumination.It uses three AAA batteries & the rechargeable ones work very well. I plug it in to one of my handy power packs. It is nice & bright. Which is what I like.I have use the lens a few times, converting images to 3D objects. This way there isn't as much shadowing as with a phone camera.The lens gets scratched easily, as most do. You may want it in a case or print one out. Mostly I leave it handy or shove it into one of the many containers I have for my desktop tools.I wanted to give it a little while before putting up this review, as I wanted to see if it died early or not. So far, so good! If you're in the market for one of these, this is a very good one to get. All 5 stars are earned for it. Good job!

Love the powerful light also it has a few positions to have lighting where you need it

Very impressed after initial opening and testing!1) the two ratcheting joints feel sturdy2) the LED lights have color modes! click1=daylight click2=warm click3=middle click4=only 1LED for 40x3) NiMH rechargeable AAAs work fine, it's just that the included USB cable WILL NOT CHARGE them!4) put AAAs in, press button, LEDs come on, plug in USB power and LEDs turn off, press power again and LEDs come on! So I can put in the batteries and for longer use just plug in the included USB cable and I might have to press the power button again so be on USB powerOverall, quite nice! I really like the LED color modes and having a USB power option which similar copies lack. No more fiddling with a single AAA LED flashlight and a magnifying glass to inspect something, the Dicfeos is a great all in one solution.

Great magnification, bright light. However, it is very, very top heavy and gets knocked over at the slightest bump. I ended up throwing it across the room in frustration and now it's broken. My fault. But the bottom needs to be bigger/heavier so it won't tip over constantly.

I purchased this to look at coins related to collecting coins. It works very well.

Works as advertised
