Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the magnification power of the lens?

The lamp features a 100mm (4”) glass lens with 3 dioptre, which provides approximately 1.75x magnification.

How do I change the light settings?

The lamp has integrated controls. Cycle through the three available light settings (soft white to daylight) by pressing the power/mode button.

What type of power source does it use?

The lamp is powered via a standard USB connection. It requires a 5V USB power source with a minimum of 1A.

Can the LEDs be replaced?

No, the LEDs are integrated and designed for a long lifespan, so they do not require replacement.

What is the color temperature range?

The LEDs can produce light across a range of 3000K (soft white) to 6100K (daylight).

Is the lamp suitable for detailed electronic repair?

Yes, the combination of bright, shadow-free light and 1.75x magnification makes it suitable for many electronic repair tasks.

How much power does the lamp consume?

The lamp is very energy-efficient, consuming only 7.5 watts of power.

Troubleshooting

Lamp does not turn on.

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to a working USB power source. Try a different USB port or power adapter to confirm the power source is functional.

Light flickers or is dim.

Check the USB connection for looseness. If using a computer's USB port, try a dedicated USB wall adapter or power bank, as some computer ports may not provide sufficient stable power.

Magnifier lens is blurry.

Ensure the lens is clean and free of dust or smudges. Adjust the position of the lamp so the object is at the optimal focal distance for the 1.75x magnification.

Flexible neck does not hold position.

Gently readjust the gooseneck to the desired position. If it consistently sags, ensure it is not bent to its absolute limit, which can sometimes reduce its holding tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Connect the integrated USB cable to a compatible power source.
Position the flexible gooseneck to direct the light and magnifier over your workspace.
Use the integrated controls to cycle through the three light settings (soft white to daylight).

Compatibility:

Power Source: Requires a standard USB port (5V, 1A minimum recommended). Compatible with USB wall adapters, computer USB ports, power banks, and other USB-enabled devices.
Surface: The base is designed for stable placement on flat surfaces.

Care:

Cleaning the Lens: Gently wipe the glass lens with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the lens.
Cleaning the Lamp Body: Wipe the lamp body and neck with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the lamp is unplugged before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
LEDs: The LEDs are designed to last and do not require replacement.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the flexible neck is not bent at extreme angles for prolonged periods to maintain its shape.
