By providing bright, targeted light and powerful magnification exactly where you need it, it allows you to work comfortably for hours on intricate paint by numbers kits, diamond paintings, and any other precision craft.
Effortless Precision Dual magnification makes tiny numbers and symbols perfectly legible and easy to work with.

Hands-Free Versatility A strong, padded clamp and flexible gooseneck attach to nearly any desk, frame, or table.
Curator's Note
"When we started sourcing increasingly detailed painting kits for our 'Expert' collection, I realized that a magnifying lamp wasn't just a helpful accessory, it was a necessary tool for a truly high-quality result. This specific model is the one I use. It's lightweight, the clamp is solid, and the dual-strength lens is exactly what's needed for both general work and ultra-fine details."
First-Hand Tip: Position the lamp head about 6-8 inches from your canvas and slightly to the side of your dominant hand. This provides a perfect focal length and ensures your hand never casts a shadow over the exact spot you're painting.
