KIRKAS 12X Clamp Lamp review

A bright clamp lamp with 2,200 lumens, stepless dimming, a 4-inch real glass lens claimed at 12X, and a 28-inch arm.

Bright

At 2,200 lumens, it lights a whole work area.

Magnification claim

A 12X claim on a lens of this size deserves doubt.

Balance

The listing says a middle screw fixes falling.

Questions makers ask before buying

Is it really 12X?

That is the maker’s claim. Lamps of this type are normally rated in low figures.

How bright?

2,200 lumens.

Our score

8.0/ 10

Buy it for the light. Be skeptical about 12X.
