As we age, our eyes naturally lose some of their ability to focus close-in. A teenager can focus on objects as close as 3-inches but by age 50 that distance can increase to 18-inches - VERY frustrating when it limits your work or hobby. This premium-grade lamp is a simple and effective solution for seeing almost anything bigger, better and brighter. 36-inch triple-joint arm has unique internal cantilever system (not external springs like lesser lamps) that lets you adjust without loosening/tightening knobs - perfectly balanced to hold position (can be locked in position if necessary). Heavy-duty die-cast aluminum clamp with no-mark pad, nickel-plated steel screw fits surfaces to 2-1/2-inches thick; easy to move and remove and takes up just 2-inches of desk space. Extra-large 7.5-inch x 6.2-inch glass lens with 5-diopter (2.25X) magnification lets you see fine detail clearly but still has a practical focal range (distance of text or object from lens) of up to 7-inches. 56 individual super-bright SMD LEDs illuminate with pure white light without the heat build-up of incandescent or halogen and without the flicker of fluorescent. Consumes less than 9-watts power with estimated life of 100,000 hours. Conveniently-placed power switch on top of lamp head so it's easy to reach. Overall length 48-inches, weight 11 lbs; 72-inches 18AWG UL-listed power cord.
