I have been using a Luxo magnifier lamp for the last 15 years and can't imagine tying without it. Here's an older one on ebay which if it works is a great buy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxo-Magnifi...wAAOSw2xRYenPy If you look at the other Luxo articulated arm magnifier lamps, you'll see that they are in the range of $250. It gives plenty of light and the magnifier is very clear. Just one more option to consider...
