Construction questions: Is the magnifyer made of glass? Is the head that holds the magnifyer &amp; lights, metal or plastic?Do the lights have a covering?

Glass magnifier, metal head, with covering. But I prefer a good LED headlamp and a pair of 2.0 reading glasses. They go where you need them, aren't constrained to one small work area, and you can see every bit as good, if not better. The desk lamp shakes and sways and your vision is no clearer.

I am sorry but it has been a while since we ordered this item for our grandchildren. I think the eyes are plastic but I am not sure. Our grandchildren are several years older. I am sorry I could not be more helpful. Jim H.

I am not that technical to imagine how you would use it unless you were making it smaller....but then as I said, I am not that technical to be able to build a projector. The magnifier is made of some type of plastic but isn't very flexible which I think would be a good idea for a projector.

I do not have the answer to that. I will say the magnifier I purchased I sent back. The lamp would not stay up and the magnifier just was not in the right location for comfort. I have an old OTTLite that just flips up and I use it all the time and love it. Just a basic lamp. Hope this helps.

The lens is definitely glass. I recalled the casing being metallic of some sort but I just inspected it and it appears the top is a hard plastic around the glass lens. I'm still pretty sure the base has metal, but I can't tell without digging it out.

Just looked and I believe it to be plastic. I have had mine for over a year and it is not scratched or hazy. This is a great otoscope and very good view.

The head of the lamp is plastic - at least mine is - and yes the body is metal.

It is light. I used it in Europe all the time. It is a great magnifier, but does not have a lower setting, so if you want a good magnifier, this is it. Safe trip, Carol

It's plastic. They look absolutely beautiful lit up at night. I get lots of compliments on them. (I got two)

I use it as a general work light, and only occasionally use the magnifier. The light is quite good for detail work like the plastic models i buils.

Sorry for the delay, I was away. Yes there is a cover, it's like a lid that flips up when you want to use the magnifier.

This lamp uses a thick plastic lens with a 4 1/2 inch diameter. The optic quality seems pretty good and allows me to use both eyes to clearly see detail work.

The item is plastic. Been using it for over a year now to hold my Niterider Lumina 700. Works great.

The manufacturer has told me that this lamp has a 2 prong unit, and that the material surrounding the bulb is metal, however there is a plastic lens cover. If you have any additional questions feel free to contact me at any time. Thanks!Chris

The lens is glass. This is a heavy-duty, well made lamp. I use it for tying fishing flies.
