Dioptre strength and lens diameter trade against each other · review
A 2-in-1 desk lamp with a 1.75x glass lens, a 5 W 3000K LED, a heavy base and a flexible arm, popular for reading and miniature painting.
No clamp means it works on any table.
1.75x gives a wide, easy view.
Warm 3000K is soft, not a task light.
