FAQs

Can I replace the LEDs if they burn out?

No, the 45 SMD LEDs are integrated into the head assembly and are designed for a long service life, but they are not user-replaceable.

Is the magnifying lens made of glass or plastic?

The lens is constructed from high-quality optical grade material designed for clarity and durability.

What is the maximum opening of the G-clamp?

The G-clamp is designed to fit most standard workshop workbench thicknesses, typically up to 60mm.

Does the lamp have a memory function for brightness?

The lamp will generally reset to the default brightness setting upon power cycle.

Can the unit be used on 240V mains?

Yes, it is supplied with a standard UK 3-pin plug suitable for 230V-240V mains electricity.

Troubleshooting

Touch dimmer is unresponsive

Ensure the touch sensor area is free from dust, oil, or debris. Disconnect the power for 30 seconds to reset the sensor electronics.

Light flickering

Check that the power cord is fully inserted into the socket. Verify that the power source is stable and not shared with high-draw equipment.

Image appears blurry or distorted

Adjust your physical distance from the lens. Magnifying lenses have a specific focal length; move your item closer or further until the image sharpens.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile mounting system supports both permanent and mobile setups
  • High-lumen output provides excellent visibility for micro-soldering and engraving
  • Precise touch-sensitive dimming prevents glare on reflective surfaces
  • Sturdy construction ensures the neck stays in place under heavy use
  • Integrated precision lens allows for quick inspection of tiny components

Cons

  • Requires specific focal distance for optimal clarity
  • Weighted base takes up significant space on small workbenches
  • Not intended for outdoor or high-humidity environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, choose your preferred mounting method. For a permanent workstation, use the included G-clamp to secure the light to the edge of your desk. For a mobile setup, attach the lamp body to the heavy base. Ensure the 3-pin plug is connected to a stable, dry power outlet. To clean the lenses, use only a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent scratching the plastic; avoid harsh solvents or alcohol-based cleaners, as these can degrade the optical quality. Ensure the touch-sensitive switch remains clean and free of oil or dust to maintain reliable touch response.
