Best Magnifying Glass with Lightfor reading

As you get older, the lens of the eye will let in less light and your retina becomes less sensitive to light. You will need more and more light to see as much a younger person. And of course, everyone needs more light for precision work like our miniatures.

My name is Lizzy, and I am an amateur miniaturist obsessed with everything in the dollhouse and miniature world, ever since I was a teenager.

Please note: if the brightness is indicated in lux, the distance also counts! For example, a magnifying lamp can have 1800 lux at a 15 cm distance, but at a 30 cm distance, it is only 650 lux!

So far, I have created 2 dollhouse projects, a backyard shed and a miniature treehouse, tons of DIY dollhouse kits, and “hacked” some.

You can even get a magnifying glass with lighting that can be tied around your head! So it would be a good thing to consider whether a magnifying lamp is the best tool for you.

The right tool can make a world of difference and give you back the joy in your activities. One of the tools that can offer a solution is a magnifying lamp, especially in our miniature world!

There are different types of magnifying lamps: standing models that you can put on the floor, but also table models, which can also get mounted on the wall.

However, you should keep in mind that the cheapest magnifying lamps can have quality problems! This may include, for example:

I have tried all manner of methods including lighted loupes and they do work for some things but my light desk mounted hands free magnifier has made a huge difference. You have given readers some great alternatives to look at here.

Fortunately, good magnifiers don’t always need to be expensive. If you want to use it now and then just reading, a simple model might be enough. The more expensive models are often bought by professionals, such as beauticians or dentists.

There are three advantages of a magnifying lamp: not only does it allow you to see better while the lighting also helps, but the best thing is that your hands are free to craft!

The smaller the diameter of the glass, the closer you will have to sit to your piece. My advice is here: choose a magnifying lamp that enlarges just enough for the thing you want to work on.

Especially when we need to see details, we are often facing the facts. Glasses or contact lenses don’t help enough anymore. And all of this while reading, crafting, reading cards, or other hobbies are usually getting more important later in life.

I also created a fairy garden, and lots of small and simple miniature projects on my YouTube channel. (mostly made from trash or everyday items).

These days there are also magnifiers with light in other forms. There are hand magnifiers, book-reading magnifiers, and magnifiers that can be hung around the neck.

I am not sure if this lamp is bendable enough to put it right over your crafting piece so you can easily see through or is it more suitable for beauty salons? That might be the case, so be assured to ask before you purchase!

As we get older, we can’t see as well anymore like young people still can. The normal aging process also causes people to see worse, even when they don’t have eye defects.

If you have already decided to get yourself a magnifier for miniature painting and miniature work, you can skip right through to the bottom of this article for the reviews.

Can you easily plug a cord into a different outlet? Just imagine how this will work in reality with a magnifying lamp and then make a choice.

Turns out I have to sit really close to my objects to see well. So it probably would be better for things like jewelry or watches, things that are even smaller and finer. I now regret not getting a lamp with diopter 5, I think that would have been better for my specific needs!

Therefore it is important that a magnifying lamp has sufficient light intensity. The luminous intensity of a magnifying lamp is usually indicated in the unit ‘lux’.

• a power lens. It’s a small, extra-strong lens that is built into the larger lens or mounted separately on the magnifying lamp.

Especially for miniatures at a very small scale (look here for all the different scales out there) or for 1/24 dollhouse kits like this one, they are very handy indeed!

I also created a fairy garden, and lots of small and simple miniature projects on my YouTube channel. (mostly made from trash or everyday items).

I am sorry for this ‘technical’, maybe boring article, but it is really important to consider what you are going to use as a magnifying lamp and that you don’t make the mistake that I made by buying one that isn’t as suitable for crafting miniatures! (not that I haven’t used it !)
