Carson MiniBrite 3x Power LED Lighted Slide Out Magnifier with Protective Sleeve for Reading, Hobby, Crafts, Tasks and Inspection (PO-25, PO-25MU)

I feel the Minibrite has few advantages from what I have experienced with it. With LED on, it is of little help with anything that has a glossy surface, as the light causes glare that makes it impossible to see what is being magnified (while trying to avoid While LED is turned off, but overhead light source is used, light reflects on the magnifier lens, creating an unpleasant reflection. A magnifier that has LED turned off, and a light source angled to one side, will cause much of what is to be viewed to be in the magnifier's shadow. Its very compact size is certainly handy, but the lens viewing area is small to begin with, meaning anything that reduces what can be seen without taking away from the clarity of the view is, clearly, a detriment for the lens user. It took some time to get used to using the magnifier since I was new at using it. Assisting in achieving the correct amount of light, a great viewing distance, and the right angle of the lens to keep objects in focus while moving hand with the magnifying glass in a fluid motion. You may need to turn an object if it is A few words of reading or focusing on very tiny details for a few seconds is fine, but beyond a few seconds, the product proves to be too small and ineffective.

These are the kinds of books I purchased a few years ago and I was always very happy with them. I liked the LED for its brightness as well as the extended battery life. The size and shape made it convenient. In terms of the LED, they are the same as the older ones I have, but the newer ones have a different LED than those I have previously. The younger ones don't have the same level of intelligence As well, the older ones had a lens that focused the light to make it more useful and also protected the LED. With the newer ones, the LED chip is exposed and the lens is not present. Even though the unit is not likely to be damaged as it is set deep in the recess, it still conveys the impression that the manufacturer took a quality compromising shortcut in making this particular model to save I would have given this a higher rating if the manufacturer had maintained the same level of quality as the old ones I have.

In the case of ordinary batteries, the design and manufacturing tolerances of the battery compartment result in poor contact between positive and negative The LED light on my device was not lighting up because of this problem. With a steel pick, the positive contacts could be reshaped so they would touch the battery terminal, fixing the lighting issue. This is all too common with Chinese products these days. The problem you have with your recently purchased product may need to be resolved. If not, you may need to return it and go elsewhere to It is the seller's responsibility to ensure the customer is taken care of and to press the manufacturer to fix such On the basis of their responses to other similar problems, they believe that their customers are too stupid to know what a fully charged AAA battery is. It is likely that my review is only beneficial to the seller since it will convince other people to buy the product by convincing them that the LED problem can be fixed.

As an additional service, our cell phones do a pretty good job of this, so it's not a real necessity. The problem is. If an eye is too weak to see unaided anymore, then it can sometimes be a hassle to tap the right button on a phone while threading a needle, changing a watch battery, or doing whatever we can no longer do unaided. My key is kept in a convenient place next to the sofa so that I can reach This is one gadget you'll want to have around, and it comes with a light that is nice to have.

The magnifying glass itself is a small square one enclosed in its own carrying case so that when not in use you can just slide it back in the holder once done. As soon as the protective case is opened, a light comes on, but turns off as soon as it is closed again in the protective Since it is very lightweight and easy to carry around, I often keep mine in my purse and use it to store documents. If I do not want them to know I have it, then no one should know I have it. It is a fantastic resource for senior citizens who need a little extra help as our eyesight begins to weaken. The device can magnify enough for you to read what's on a penny if you need an idea of what it is capable of.

This is a great idea, so much better than buying a standard magnifier. In my opinion, this is a very good reflection of This is a handy product to carry around in the purse and to keep in drawers in different rooms. I too think it would be a lovely gift to give someone. No matter why, it only takes cheap batteries rather than the better AAA I cannot wear the premium ones because they do not.

They seem to think for themselves It's great to have a lighting magnifier! There are several that I want to share with you A couple of them are in my glove compartment (for aids in map reading), one in my desk drawer (for the teeny tiny fine print they use today), and one in my computer bag (for when I have to read off the service tag). In the past, restaurants have seemed to conserve lighting by making the print on their menus smaller. Now, they seem to be reducing their lighting by making the print smaller.

After purchasing this one after an earlier 5X magnification one died from an untimely death after around 5+ years of use, I purchased their bigger It is the same as the old one, but this time it is magnified 3X so I will be able to see further On tiny notices enclosed with some purchases, the fine print is sometimes too small to read. In addition, I can sneak the tablet out to look at the menu in a dimly-lit restaurant if I need to.
