KIBTOY YX-35 magnifier lamp, rectangular glass lens, 144 LEDs review

A magnifier lamp on a heavy 28 × 18 cm metal base with a rectangular 12.2 × 7.7 cm glass lens sold as 12× magnification, a ring of 144 LEDs up to 772 lumens in five colour temperatures, and USB-C power.

The bottom line The best-documented light of the budget lamps — lumens, colour temperatures, colour rendering — on a stable base. Its 12× figure is not stated in dioptres, and without a clamp it takes desk space.

The KIBTOY YX-35 listing, bullet by bullet

Five bullets: a ring of 144 LEDs with 10 dimming steps described as stepless, up to 772 lumens and five colour temperatures from 3000 to 6500 K; a rectangular 12.2 × 7.7 cm real glass lens with 12× magnification; two 25 cm spring arms, a 360° head and a head switch; a heavy 28 × 18 cm metal base with an anti-slip underside; and CRI above 80, USB-C power over a 1.6 m cable, power-bank use, no adapter in the box and settings remembered while connected.

Magnification without dioptres

“12×” and “5 dioptres” are two different ways of writing strength. The dearer lamps reviewed here publish dioptres, and some convert them to 1.75× or 2.25×. A 12× figure with no dioptre value does not fit that scale, and this page does not try to make it fit.

Light that is measured

772 lumens and CRI above 80 are numbers, not adjectives. For colour-sensitive work — paint matching, diamond painting — colour rendering is the figure that matters, and KIBTOY gives one.

A base instead of a clamp

A 28 × 18 cm metal base stands anywhere and takes that much desk space. The fourth bullet presents it as more stable than a clamp; the choice depends on whether the table edge or the table top is free.

Availability

At the last look-up, the German Amazon store was asking roughly 30 €.

It is sold in the British Amazon store as well, in its own currency, which the euro figures above leave out on purpose.

The American, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon catalogues list the product, yet no seller was offering it.

Where it earns its place, and where it falls short

Strengths

  • A published light output, 772 lumens, and colour rendering above CRI 80
  • A rectangular glass lens of 12.2 × 7.7 cm and a head-mounted switch
  • USB-C power that also runs from a power bank

Compromises

  • “12×” is given without dioptres, so it cannot be compared with the lamps that publish them
  • No power adapter included, as the fifth bullet notes
  • Arm reach limited to two 25 cm segments

Questions makers ask before buying

How strong is the KIBTOY lens?

The second bullet says 12× magnification. No dioptre value is published, so the figure cannot be set against lamps rated in dioptres.

Does the KIBTOY lamp come with a power adapter?

No. The fifth bullet says it is powered over USB-C with a 1.6 m cable, can run from a power bank, and that a power adapter is not included.
