I need to get an illuminated magnifier for some scroll work. I can't see
the blade and line.

I was noticing that there are 3,5 and 11 diopter lenses.

A 5 diopter winds up being a magnification of 2.25 5 * 1/4 +1

So the question is, what should I get? Is 5 too powerful, is 3 to little.
Is 11 necessary?

Would like to get one today to get some Christmas work done.

Let me recommend that you get the best one you can afford.
Try to find one with the fluorescent light rather than the ones that use a
bulb. They are pricy, but well worth it in the end.
Something like this would be REALLY good
