Biggest aspect for me is the light being flexible and having a long life, magnifying glass included or not. I've searched Amazon but have a hard time trusting reviews since my current light was rated well.

Smart Vision Lights recently announced the launch of its new JWL225-DO machine vision light, the latest addition to SVL’s Lightgistics light series. A bright field, direct lighting, dual overdrive ring light, it has a working distance range of 500 - 2000 mm. It has a strobe duration of 10 µs – 1 ms in deca overdrive and 1-8 ms in standard overdrive, with a strobe trigger latency of 6 µs and a strobe frequency of up to 4k HZ. Rated IP65, it weighs 1.5 kg and has an operating temperature range of -10°C - 40°C. Compatible with most machine vision cameras, it can be connected and controlled via a camera’s trigger output. The light, which can be used with a polarizer, is designed to provide external illumination. It is especially designed for machine vision applications in logistics.

Currently, I have a magnifying glass that clamps to my scroll frame stand. I also have a flexible neck light, but it's started to flicker and not get as bright as before.

I was hoping for suggestions on what I could get to replace both potentially? I'd like it to clamp onto my desk and also not break the bank, BUT realize the lack of quality in my current light is partially my fault for not spending more.
