so figured this is where to start!
My work is small and fine, vintage fountain pen repair/restoration, and for years I've used an 10x optivisor, decent LED lighting, and a variety of loupes for really fine stuff. However, the eyes are getting older and need broader depth of field in bright light on a steady basis. So I'm looking for a good quality extension lamp with daylight (5000-5600k) LED illumination and 6X magnification; the magnification can be round, oval, or rectangular.
I'd like it to have at least 2 ft of extension and have a sturdy post mount into a clamp base. Also, this is for seated work and work at my bench. They're close enough that the light would swivel either way.. It's not for use with the lathe.
Any ideas?
best,
Tim
