Replacing your magnifying lamp isn’t something you would normally think about, but it may be negatively affecting your work. Stop wasting time and money by getting by with a lamp that isn't working as well as it should. Help yourself and your work, by making working conditions more pleasant with a new SMD LED lamp.

Pictured above: left - old fluorescent lamp. Right SMD LED lamp--more energy efficient and lasts 2x longer than traditional LED or CLF lamps.

Here is why you should make the change:

1. More Energy Efficient Bulb & Larger Lens Size

As pictured above, the old magnifying lamp on the left is using traditional fluorescent lighting. Notice how large and thick the light tube is. The new one on the right uses  SMD LEDs, which takes up less space. By design, the more efficient LED lights allow for a larger lens and larger viewing area for your work. SMD LED magnifying lamps also last 2x long as traditional LEDs or fluorescent lamps!

If you need an even larger lens, also consider the 6 inch diameter lens, or 7 inch diameter lens.

2. Four Adjustable Light Brightness Settings

Fluorescent magnifying lamps usually only have one brightness setting, making it difficult to adapt to different lighting needs. The new SMD LED lamp has a discreet button on to adjust the brightness levels. The four light levels allow you to work at a comfortable brightness at any time, day or night. 

3. Client Comfort

When you are working with clients, the client always has a different point of view than you. For instance, you are looking through the magnifying lamp applying eyelash extensions or applying facials, not realizing how dirty it looks on the other side. Meanwhile, the client is on the opposite end looking up at the bottom of the magnifying lamp, where dirt, grime, and heat discoloration built up. They have a view of the dirty, old magnifying lamp you are using to work on their face. Doesn’t sound very pleasing right?

4. Cool LED Lighting

A burning hot, fluorescent lamp is hard to work with. A cool SMD LED lamp makes a client feel more at ease during a facial, and makes it more pleasant for you to work with. Day light, bright LED lights is more comfortable for your eyes, rather than looking through a yellow or rose colored light.

5. More Grip Space

The square head magnifying lamp has more grip space, allowing estheticians or hobbyists to easily maneuver the lamp.

6. Bonus Clamp with Rolling Floor Stand!

Every magnifying lamp with a rolling floor stand comes with an optional table clamp. You have the option of easily switching between using it on a stand, or a clamp.

5. Electric Safety 

You will also want to consider replacing your lamp for safety reasons as well. One of the main reasons being the wire inside the lamp base may break down over time. You should never use a lamp with a frayed wire since it can cause electrical fires.

If you are working with sensitive electronics, like PCB soldering or repair, consider the  ESD Magnifying Lamp, which is ESD safe, and anti-static. It comes in 3 Diopter (1.75X magnification), 5 Diopter (2.25X magnification) and 8 Diopter (3X magnification).
