Showlite LL-6085D, 5 dioptres, 12.5 cm lens, 80 cm arm review
A workshop magnifier lamp with a 5-dioptre, 12.5 cm lens rated at 2.25× magnification, 60 SMD LEDs at 6500 K and 8 W, an 80 cm arm with three joints and a screw table clamp.
The bottom line A properly specified workshop lamp: dioptres, magnification, working distance, arm reach and angles are all published. It has no dimming and no lumen figure, and its lens material is not named.
The Showlite LL-6085D listing, bullet by bullet
Five bullets: 60 SMD LEDs for even light and a 5-dioptre lens; a flexible 80 cm arm with three joints and a sturdy table clamp, for workshops, labs, model making and dental use; 8 W, 6500 K, 60 LEDs and 2.25× magnification; a minimum distance of about 20 cm, rotation of ±100°, swivel of ±120° and screw clamp mounting; and a lens cover, plastic and metal construction, 2.3 kg, white, 220–240 V.
Dioptres and distance on the Showlite
5 dioptres, 2.25×, about 20 cm. A dioptre rating fixes the lens’s focal length, and the listing adds the working distance that follows from it. That trio is what lets a buyer know where hands and tools will be.
An 80 cm reach
Three joints and 80 cm let the head swing over a large bench and park out of the way. Rotation and swivel angles are published; the goobay is the only other lamp here to give angles.
Fixed light
8 W at 6500 K with no dimming: bright, cool and constant. For inspection that suits; for long sessions or colour-sensitive work, the absence of adjustment is the limit.
