Workbench Magnifier Lamp Purchase
In article ,
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?

The optical quality is excellent and the lights are plenty bright, evenly diffused, and of pleasing color. The 1.75x will give you better depth of field of course, and likely to be more than enough if your eyes are just now beginning to be problematic. If you're hand soldering 0402 components, that's another matter... I have a range of magnification tools available: reading glasses in five different strengths, luxos, magnifying visors (Optivisor is a good brand), B & L Stereozoom microscopes (7 - 30x), and a high end camcorder mounted solidly above the workbench, with a 26" monitor. Each is used according to the demands of the day, and often two tools in conjuction. |
