Construction questions: Is the magnifyer made of glass? Is the head that holds the magnifyer & 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.

Lens is Glass, head is plastic, has flip up lens cover (gets in the way so removed it) T5 circular bulb does have nice cover that provides a crisp almost LED like bright white luminescence, absolutely worth the purchase only drawback as stated is origin of manufacturing china; and I strive to support our nation via USA purchases!

As far as I can tell the lens is made of glass. It states it in the product description. the head that holds the magnifier and lamp is plastic and the light does have a covering. I have worked with this type of lamp for many years and am very happy with this purchase. Hope this helps.

I don't have a answer to that too. I like mine and got it on sale at Joanns, 50% off sale so it was wonderfully priced. I have had no problems with my lamp. There are adjustments to tighten the lamp part so it stays up, I don't use the Magnifier all the time but it is nice when I do need to use it. Love it.

It is glass not plastic. It is an extravagant light fixture. A quality piece for an inexpensive price.

Yes, I'd say it is plastic, but now that we've owned it for over a month (and use it every night) we're not concerned about that. The lamp is beautiful and unless my wife and I are specifically asked, then we do not raise that detail when visitors compliment its looks (we've had several). The price of the real deal (stained glass) is more than we care to spend on lamps, but since the look and functionality of our "imitation" Tiffany stained-glass floor lamp has been so good - we ordered the matching dragonfly coffee table lamp a couple of weeks ago and WOW! our living room has really been "lifted" to a new level of "ambiance." We are 100% pleased with both purchases and highly recommend them (they're actually both good deals for the price, but if you want the real thing - they too are available for several hundreds of dollars more apiece). Remember...Amazon has one of the best return policies out there in case you are not pleased with your purchase (I've ordered hundreds of items through Amazon and returned perhaps 2-3 items without any hassles).

They are plastic. My daughter absolutely loves the lamp! Not a huge light source but very cool lamp!

Some type of plastic, which makes passing around light and easy, it is sturdy and does a very good job but is not very attractive.

Magnifier is thick plastic, there is NO height adjustment, and I don't remember the warranty...

No, it provides no magnification of any kind. In fact, it is very different from Gunnars in that the entire thing is plastic, and there is no metal or glass.

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

It's plastic. That's why I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

My son really likes this microscope. I am not positive but it looks like the Base and body are plastic and the rest is metal. The parts that hold the lenses are definitely metal. Hope this helps. It works great

It is a hard opaque plastic sphere. The lights inside seem to be LEDs, but I haven't been able to get the base off the thing to be sure. I do like the fact that the designs cast on the inside surface of the sphere do seem random enough not to be boring. I was worried about this, as I have purchased a couple of other lights that repeated after just a few revolutions.

They are plastic. I believe they do not make any head lights or foglights out of glass.

It is metal and glass. High quality. Works perfectly. I would buy it again. Hope this helps.

Glass. Definitely glass. If you get this as a gift, make sure the person you give it to knows this. I got this for my father and he held it with one hand, thinking it was plastic. He didn't have the globe aligned properly and it fell, shattering into shards next to where he sat.

The hood itself is plastic, the glass is between the light and the water underneath the hood. Just like a standard hood. It is a good one and has held upnicely.

It's plastic. It's pretty thin so I'm not sure if there would be much room for lights but it's sturdy enough to drill into.
