Magnifying Glass with Light and Stand 18 LED 🔎
Description:
This folding handheld magnifying glass combines a large glass lens with integrated LEDs and a fold-out stand, making close work and reading easier for people with low vision or macular degeneration. It offers steady hands-free viewing for reading, coin sorting or jewellery inspection, and the built-in illumination helps with small print in low light.
Key Points
The device features an 82 mm glass lens for general magnification and a smaller acrylic lens for higher detail tasks. The handle folds to form a desktop stand, so you can free your hands while you inspect stamps, coins or jewellery. There are three light modes—warm, warm white and white—controlled by an easy-to-use switch which helps adapt contrast according to ambient lighting. Note that the unit requires three AAA batteries which are not included, and according to the manufacturer battery life will vary with mode and usage.

Usage Recommendations
For reading small print, position the magnifier at a comfortable angle on a flat surface and select the warmer light mode for less glare. When examining metalwork or jewellery, use the smaller acrylic lens to focus on fine details and switch to the brighter white mode to reveal surface texture. Keep spare AAA batteries to avoid interruptions when working away from a power source. The foldable stand can be adjusted for slight height differences, however it may be less stable on uneven surfaces.
Benefits
The larger glass lens produces a clear, distortion-controlled view for extended reading sessions, reducing eye strain during prolonged tasks. The compact folding design makes the magnifier easy to store and transport so it can be moved between rooms or taken on trips. Integrated LEDs provide reliable illumination which helps when natural light is limited 🌙. Consider that for tasks requiring very high magnification or professional jewellers’ inspection, a specialist loupe may be more suitable, while this magnifier serves well for general close work and daily reading needs 🔍. The simple assembly means you can start using it straight away after inserting batteries, and the variety of light tones allows personalised contrast for different materials and paper types 💡.
