Round Magnifying Glass with LED Light (4x/70mm)

Perfect all-round magnifying glass with light

This hand-held magnifying glass with light really is the perfect all-rounder. With a specification that includes a bright light, decent sized lens, good magnification strength and comfortable grip, it seems to have everything. The largest in a series of three frequently recommended round LED magnifiers, this is a popular magnifier for everyday reading, hobbies and craft, and a sensibly-priced low vision aid too.

Optical quality 4x aspheric lens

Aspheric lenses are renowned for their excellent image clarity and minimal edge-to-edge distortion. Typically thin, flat and lightweight, they are usually more powerful than standard convex lenses. This magnifier is a case in point, with a good-size 3-inch diameter (70mm) round lens that enlarges text, imagery and objects to four times (4x) their original size.

Energy-efficient LED illumination

A long-lasting LED, powered by three AAA batteries (not supplied), spreads light evenly over your subject. Slide the chunky switch in the centre of the handle up or down when you need to turn it on or off. You can use the magnifier without illumination, but the light is a helpful feature in dimly lit conditions. The strong white LED makes words and letters stand out because it heightens the contrast between background and text. The whole world is moving to LEDs because they are so much more efficient than traditional bulbs. They last much longer, and combine minimal heat emission and low energy consumption.

For hobbies, reading, low vision and craft

Any person with normal sight will find this magnifier to be a great choice for general magnifying tasks in the home or workplace. Lightweight but durable, with a near unbreakable scratch-resistant lens, it has also proven to be a popular vision aid for partially-sighted and elderly users too. For the money, we cannot think of any other magnifier that so well combines optical performance with handheld comfort and everyday convenience.
