3.0 out of 5 stars Some after thoughts . . ., March 1, 2009

My biggest complaint is definitely with the strength of the c-clamp style base and the post that is used to hold the lamp in the clamp. Plastic and metal combination are pretty flimsy. It's not a great fitment either and is shaky, flexible, and a seems a bit weak and fragile. I've got to remind myself not to grab and pull it from a folded, resting position too quickly as it's likely to bend or break under the pressure. Except for this short-coming, the rest of the lamp works well.

Just today I received my black,Ledu L745BK Fluorescent Swing Arm Magnifying Lamp and I am happy as a Lark! I'd bought the same Ledu light some 25 yeqrs ago, in white, and after years of heavy service the plastic lens mounting clamps deteriorated. Fortunately, I located the Ledu Mfg. name and Model # and Amazon had one in stock. It's quite an amazing device and I just don't fathom how some other reviewers felt the device was poorly constructed! It's nearly all metal, has a vigorous heavy duty clamp and additional electrical 3-prong outlet at the base for computer or typewriter. There are 4 heavy-duty jointed segments with swivels that can be tightened to maintain its stance. The 5 inch biconvex lens and 22 Watt circular fluorescent tube provides ample illuminated magnification for diverse uses: in my case for forensic examination of photographs & documents, but also for checking microcircuitry on computer components, repair of jewelry items, watch bands, etc. When not in use it easily swings out of the way. I also find it very useful for examination of cuts, bruises and facilitates the removal of splinters ( I am a physician).
The improvements I noted over that of my previous light is that this lamp has more spectral white, and it lights immediately, no longer in need of holding the button down for a few seconds.

Got the lamp but no mount, after alot of emails, phone calls and hassle returned lamp. The company ignored me after that...no refund, no replacement lamp, no communication worth a damn. Amazon.com looked out for my satisfaction though and refunded my money which i eventually applied to the purchase of another lamp from a different company. Alot of hassle around christmas time.
