JMH Magnifying Glass with Light, Handheld Large Magnifying Glass 18LED Cold and Warm Light with 3 Modes, Illuminated Lighted Magnifier for Seniors Reading, Coins, Jewelry

Buy it! I needed a decent magnifying glass because I'm about to go through a bunch of coins I've saved over the years. I found this one, and was impressed that it (and others) has a built-in light. Right out of the box you could tell it's a quality product. The size of the glass and handle are perfect. Although it's heavier at the glass end, the size and weight of the handle, in my opinion, balance it very well. The light projects the right amount to see the coins clearly and without any glare. The magnifying glass is powerful enough to see a splinter in a mosquito's backside.

This magnifying glass with light exceeded my expectations. The magnification is strong and crystal clear, making it incredibly easy to read small print, fine details, and labels without eye strain. The built-in LED light is bright and evenly distributed, which makes a huge difference when using it in low-light areas. It feels well-made and comfortable to hold, even during extended use. I really appreciate how lightweight yet sturdy it is. This has been extremely helpful for reading books, mail, instructions, and working on small detailed projects. Overall, this is a high-quality, reliable magnifying glass that does exactly what it promises. Great value for the price, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who needs extra clarity and illumination.

Wonderful magnifying glass. Fits my hands just right and I can read the smallest print on food packaged items, bottles, cartons, etc. You have 3 light settings. It is bettery operated, which I prefer because I can tell when it is getting low. I do not have any luck with the. rechargeable ones, although I do have one. Most do not hold their charge - not all. But, I do like this one in every way - perfect size; handle not too long, not too short and the glass is not too small, not too large. If I had anything other than positive, I would suggest that it would be nice to have a little pouch or cover to put the magnifying glass in so it does NOT SCRATCH; THEN I WOULD HAVE ONE IN EVERY DRAWER IN EVERY ROOM LOL

These are decent magnifying glasses with light if you want/need it. It is a little heavier than expected but the light options can make it easier to read magnified text. Originally it said 30x which it doesn't seem to be quite that much magnification but it works well for every day things you may need to read. I actually gave a few as gifts to older family members and one for myself.

This is Awesome. It helps me to see very small details on coins, and on engineer plans, all so easily. I have used it to make changes on some plans when I have to write very small. All small print is easy to read on anything with this magnifier. The light is awesome too, especially with the different shades of lighting. I have used it with and without the light, depending on what I'm using it for. I have also used it just for a light to see in dark places in my closet and way in the back of large cupboards. This is a very handy gadget to have. I am quite impressed and very glad I got it.

Wow this is a nice big magnifying glass. It's big and has a light on it. In fact it has 3 settings for the brightness of the light. It's a bit heavy but we like it very much.

I love my magnifying glass with 3 different shades of light. Great for reading small print of cartoons in Newsday and reading small print on medicine bottles and packages & small print on canned foods.

Pay attention to the written reviews here that talk about this magnifying glass being too heavy for people to use for any length of time, especially elderly people. This thing weighs 9 ounces without batteries! And the weight isn't balanced: the glass end is much heavier than the handle. I really can't understand some of the video reviews that go out of their way to say it's not heavy. I can almost guarantee you the first thought you will have when you pick it up (well, maybe not now, if you've read this review) is: "Man, this thing is heavy!" I have a couple of other quality magnifying glass with a diameter about the same, and they are very much lighter (although they're not lighted). Your second reaction likely will be: "Man, this thing is big!" It is 8 inches long and four inches wide. Think about it: This magnifying glass is about as big as a standard sheet of paper is wide. If you're buying this so your 80-year-old grandmother can read the newspaper, you should think twice. Also, what's with all the reviews saying they like the 30x magnification? That's saying that things viewed through the magnifying glass look 30 times bigger. Really? That silver dollar in the video really looks like it's 25 inches in diameter? The maximum magnification is about 3x. That's a big help in doing things like reading prescriptions on pill bottles or mint marks on collectible coins. But it's far from 30x, which is microscope-level magnification. That said, this is a big piece of glass with relatively good optical quality, and it definitely makes it easier to see small things when they are well-lighted. And this device is really bright, like don't make a mistake and turn it on while it's pointed towards you bright! (Your eye has better resolution and depth of field when the iris is constricted-down, just like a camera takes sharper pictures at f22 than at f2.8.) But both of those things can be achieved in a smaller, lighter package. I also agree with commenters who say the battery cover seems unnecessarily flimsy, although mine hasn't come open on its own yet. (By the way, I bought three of these, and none had batteries included, unlike some of the reviews here. But I didn't see anything in the product description itself that made me think I was going to get the required three AAA batteries with my purchase.) I would have given this two or two and a half stars (if the latter were an option), but gave it three stars because the brightness of the light and the option of two different light temperatures (yellowish vs. bluish) are better than any competing devices I've seen.
