Workbench Magnifier Lamp Purchase
George Orwell wrote:
I enjoy soldering and repairing electronics, both old TV's, radios, and modern circuitboards. Unfortunately my eyesight isn't what it used to be, my nearsightedness has gotten worse the past two years. Now I'm thinking of buying a decent workbench magnifier lamp, like one of the Luxos. My basic question for people who have made such a purchase, did you go for the 3 or 5 diopter lens, which gives a magnification of 1.75x or 2.25x. The price is pretty much the same either way and I'm sort of leaning towards the 5 diopter. My only concern is that maybe too much magnification might introduce errors or distortion? I have two Lemo brand circular fluorescent tube, angle poise style with interchangeable lens. Unfortunately my eyesight is going the other way and I'm becoming more long sighted. I find that the 5 dioptre lens has a more narrow field of view than the 3 dioptre one and is a little more difficult to work under. But for general examination use the 3 dioptre is fine. I also have a headset with interchangeable lenses that are adjustable from 1.5 to 10 dioptre. I find that these are even worse if you want a wider field of view. Its a bit like looking down a tunnel that gets longer the higher magnification.
