I need a light &amp; magnification for certain jobs in my shop. Will this light be good for that kind of application?

You have to give me more information on what the certain jobs you want to do are. I don't have a clue on what your job applications are so I have to answer I don't know. I use mine for model railroad building projects and I find it a valuable tool for my modeling applications. Hope this helps answer your question.

Its more of a garage or hobby work light i would suggest.For under the bonnet repairs or on machinery when you need a spotlight to focus on where you're working on.The magnetic base makes it ideal for such !Does a pretty decent job, but not for backing up a trailer.I suggest something with more candlelight power.Thanks.

Yes it will do great for both uses. I have MANY hours on my first bulb and I did buy another bulb at the time of purchase as I did not want to have to be without the magnifier! I would recommend moving it by using the area where the lamp is attached to the arm.

as long as your mounts are the same heights everything should check out.cant see myself paying $500.00 for a name brand when simultaneously the magnifiers are capable of the exact same job.

By itself this light will probably not provide enough light for your needs (2 of them may do the job). I have found the umbrella on this not to be very effective at dispersing the light, and I am currently planning on replacing it. I would suggest spending a little more for a better lighting setup.

I bought mine for this use originally. Now it is very dim and absolutely inadequate, I wish I'd never purchased it. I only use it for magnification now as a weak lamp at my desk. (I did post a review.)

I would not advise this light. It looks good, but over all it is cheep quality. It does not accept more than 25 watt chandelier light, so you can not expect much light from it. After searching long I found an energy sever light that barely fitted in and now the light works good. I still will not advise it. good luck

Yes. And it's a great light! I use it for my sewing and my crafts. It's bright enough to highlight very fine work. Love it!

I'm not sure what power the magnifer is, as I use my clip on Daylite magnifier. I use the bulb that came with this lamp. Hope this is some help to you

If the magnifier is required, along with the illumination, then it is a reasonable choice. However, if the magnification is not an issue, then perhaps an LED book light would function as well or better.

I would use them in the wood shop too. The yellow lens is good in low light.

I think it would, it has a screw on clamp that holds really tight. Mine is on a level end table; I use it for my needle point and it works "excellent".It's the best purchase I ever made. And I made plenty of purchases regarding magnifying glasses for my needle points. And it swivels and bends and has a "really" bright light! I'm very pleased with it.

Yes. While the focus is adjustable, the light only has one brightness but choosing the right back ground can correct this. I use the Zoomy to catalog my coin collection.

It depends on the particular platform you want to use it on. Surefire obviously makes a good light, but do ask a lot of money for them! Mag light also is good. You will find that quality over quantity will win in this, because if you go cheap, you'll pay in the end.

I don't have mine in front of me, so I can't easily compare its brightness as a magnifier placed 8" above my work with a similarly placed 100W bulb, but I suspect the bulb is brighter. On the other hand, the magnifier has a quality optical view and the LEDs don't shine in your face or make life hot. I use it for surface mount soldering of 2mm-4mm sized parts and it's great. It won't replace a loupe, but they are inexpensive and easy to use - give one a try.

it has good light if working on an item close around it....but would be better I think with a brighter light for a little more distance.

This is good for certain wedding applications, but you will need other lenses for most of your work. It can handle the light, but, unless you're far away from the subjects, it magnifies too much.
