I need a light & magnification for certain jobs in my shop. Will this light be good for that kind of application?

I purchased one for that purpose. I use it for close up work where I need to see detail. I use it for inspecting small parts. The lens is large enough that I don't have to hunt for the part under the glass, and it lights up the parts nicely. I also use it just for the light over the work area. It is sturdy, and holds position well. I like it.

You have to give me more information on what the certain jobs you want to do are. I don't have a clue on what your job applications are so I have to answer I don't know. I use mine for model railroad building projects and I find it a valuable tool for my modeling applications. Hope this helps answer your question.

It will be great for "certain jobs"; in fact, it will be perfect. I would go so far as to say it will be the best in the universe.

I wouldn't recommend it for task lighting, but it could be good enough for reading. Use this lamp, it works brighter than the others I've tried: Triangle Bulbs T95035-6 5W E12 LED Candelabra Equivalent to 40W Incandescent Bulb, Chandelier Led Light Bulbs (6 Pack)

I think there are better choices, this is bright and very focused light. I use mine attached to a hat when walking dogs or fixing stuff in dark corners.

I think it would make a pretty good light, bu you might need to prop it up on something to get the right angle. I have tried it and found that it is a really good light and I will be buying another!

Yes. While the focus is adjustable, the light only has one brightness but choosing the right back ground can correct this. I use the Zoomy to catalog my coin collection.

Very good amount of light for up close work using the magnifier. Not a broad light that would work across an entire table, although I do use it occasionally to augment reading light at my side table.

I returned mine. The light was not bright enough and the magnification didn't suit me as I was used to something stronger.

Maybe?! The cool thing about this light is the casing is aluminium. So if you have the tools and skills you could tap it and built a seriously strong mount for it. Out of the box? I'd say the mount it comes with would not stand up to that kind of use.

This would work perfectly fine for that. The batteries last for quite a while and even when weak you would still have plenty of light.

Yes sure, you have 3 degrees of light power, lower one will be good and it will be comfortable on your eyes.

It should work fine but I would recommend a smaller diameter Softlighter, perhaps a 36-48 inch if they make those sizes. I love the 60 inch but is a bit cumbersome in tight spaces.

it has good light if working on an item close around it....but would be better I think with a brighter light for a little more distance.

I think it would work, light is direct and magnification is generous. With the adjustable neck you have quite a lot of control.

It is mostly a focused light. For most desk purposes like general lighting it would not be adequate.

It depends on the particular platform you want to use it on. Surefire obviously makes a good light, but do ask a lot of money for them! Mag light also is good. You will find that quality over quantity will win in this, because if you go cheap, you'll pay in the end.

This is good for certain wedding applications, but you will need other lenses for most of your work. It can handle the light, but, unless you're far away from the subjects, it magnifies too much.

Yes I think you could. The focused light is great, the magnifation is excellent, and the gooseneck is flexible and very useful. I looked for months for the right lamp and even tested out a few. This one was the ultimate solution. Good luck.
