Headband Headset LED Head Lamp Light Jeweler Magnifier Magnifying Glass Loupe

In my mature years my eye sight has deteriorated. I am making jewellery and I am so impressed this product. I am using it for threading and chain making. I found it very easy to change the lens its just a push in and pull off. The light is fantastic bright and very useful. The head set is light weight and comfortable with an adjustable headband. I have even used this to read the back of a food product, great magnification. It does not come with batteries. I also feel by using a head set leaves your hands free that this product would be a practical solution for many people. As it would help in craft work, writing reading any close up work. Thanks

The headset was very easy to adjust to size and not too uncomfortable, I guess it is a case of getting used to the weight distribution, ie: the lamp, the batteries and the lens/s all hang on, or are fitted to the visor and biased very much to the front of the visor. It took maximum adjustment of the grip screws to stop the visor constantly slipping down over my eyes.I feel a small modification coming on; a rubber washer inserted between the head band and the visor at the grip screws will increase the friction between these two and hence need less aggressive tightening of the grip screws, the present plastic to plastic interface is just too slippery.As to the set of four plastic lenses supplied, for the price of this Headset, the lenses are surprisingly well made and optically very good. The focal length is a bit too short for my liking, and gets slightly shorter with each stronger lens or combination of lenses used, but that might be down to my wearing spectacles. The focal length is fine for detail work such as model making or jewellery repairs with no obvious distortion or blurring but to me it is not very comfortable for longer spells of book reading.Incidentally the headset doesn't interfere in any way with wearing spectacles and vice versa. The storage case provided for the lenses is a good idea, keeps them separated and protected against abrasion damage.The four star rating is given because of a minor intermittent fault with the LED lamp which flickers on and off occasionally. Touch the brim of the visor and the lamp comes on, let go and the lamp goes out. Twist the brim of the visor slightly and the lamp comes on and stays on until the next time you tilt your head or make some other sudden movement........ I guess it's "hunt for the loose connection" time.Overall, a very good buy and recommended if you are into model making etc.

Husband liked the item, really useful for his hobby.

...and I bought this out of desperation but it's actually very good and does the job very effectively.Bought for working on circuit boards so needing to see tracks and pads close up and once I'd got used to wearing it, it's now my first choice to grab when I need to do detailed work.The little adjustable lamp is very good for illuminating my work area. Highly recommended.

It does the job,although the headset is a little heavy and a bit uncomfortable - but the magnification is ok

Bought these for my husband for close up work in his workshop. Purchased in 2013 and they are still going strong, he uses them everyday!

Took a while to arrive but well within estimated delivery time frame. Overall very pleased. The lenses really help enlarging fine detail ( i use it for drawing and watercolour) and its useful having it on your head. It all works and the price was good. It's not rated 5 stars because the headband is not terribly comfortable and has to be readjusted frequently

Bought this as a gift for my mother who was doing a very detailed dot-to-dot! Easy to use as they are hands free and would be perfect for drawing, sewing or any intricate work.
