Happy Hydro LED Loupe - 30x & 60x Magnifying Lens - Includes Batteries & Carrying Case

This loupe is great. I usually have to buy a few different ones before I get the one that suits me. This was only the 2nd one. I use it on sports cards that I buy or sell. It so much easier using the HAPPY HYDRO ILLUMINATED LOUPE to see the creases and anything else that helps me to evaluate better . It is durable. Don't have to stick it right against your eye(holding it approx. 1"-1 1/2" ) to see what I am looking at. I am no means a professional. I am just an old man trying to sell his sports collection to help subsidize my income. My wife & I are both disabled, but only I get income. I am on long term disability, and in 4 short years my income drops 50%. I digress, back to the HAPPY HYDRO LOUPE. The design is nice. I can put a piece of string through the "LOUPE", and wear it around my neck, because I tend to put my stuff down, and forget where I put it. I said durable, because I have already dropped it a few times, and it still performs. The Price was good also. I hope this helps.

amazing tool for checking my plants trichomes and for pests or anything close up! the light on these is super bright and illuminated whatever you're looking at very well. there are 2 different magnification levels and each has a fitting purpose in my garden uses. I love the 60x for checking cloudy trichomes and the 30x for looking at sex of plants. this particular brand makes a very sturdy and well working scope. comes in a well-packed carrying case and has a hard outer shell to protect it at all times. i would buy another one but i dont think it will ever break.

I purchased this loupe because it was advertised as made of ground optical glass, which is a big plus over the softer acrylic lenses of other brands. I am also pleased with the bright LED output. Once you use an illuminated magnifier, it is really hard to go back to using one without the light source. I especially use the 60x lens in identifying insects down to species in some instances.I have a couple of issues with the design. The case is rather bulky and not really suitable to carry in a pocket. The case makes the loupe look more like a museum piece rather than an instrument to be used on a regular basis. If the case is meant to sit on a desk and the loupe taken out only occasionally, that's fine. But for the field, a leather or Denim pouch which fits the contours of the loupe would probably be a better alternative for easy transport. Since I will be using it for the latter, I will ditch the case and look for a substitute. The key is an item which can easily get lost. Perhaps make a slot in the battery cover so it can be opened with a small coin or screwdriver and get rid of the key altogether. I may end up taping the key on the inside covering of the loupe itself. Both of these issues are rather minor in my opinion. My only major problem I have with the design is that the joint that allow the loupe to swing out for viewing is held together by screws! I have used enough illuminated lenses to know that with regular use these screws will eventually come loose and fall out at the most inconvenient time. A permanent, rivet type joint should have been used to prevent a 1-piece item to become a 2-piece one. A drop of cyanoacrylic glue on each of the screws helps, but considering the cost of the loupe, one shouldn't have to resort to this measure. The presence of screws gave it a 4 instead of a 5-star ratingOverall, despite my issues, this is a very useful lens.

Great quality

I use mine to help me look at my maturing buds; the Loupe works great day and night. The magnification is amazing; you get two lenses, both easy to use. When you use it at nighttime with the LED light on; it looks like another galaxy of stars deep inside your buds. Love this Loupe; quite possibly my fav purchase of 2022!!

It works great out of the package. Fast shipping and good looking product. Helped me to distinguish proper pistil coloring, dual light is bright and helpful. One month later, a screw comes out and the protective metal case comes right off. Also, one thing to consider when buying, buy two. This is because the batteries cost more than the product, so when that light dies, that’s a hefty price to pay.

The loupe works well and seems to be a good value, but the replacement of the three (3) batteries is unnecessarily difficult. Yes, there are three (3) LR1130 batteries and a "key" to open the battery compartment. Unscrewing and screwing the compartment cover was not easy; the threads on the plastic cover are imprecise at best. Very frustrating, and I was surprised that the loupe required three batteries although this is listed in the description (I guess I forgot about this.). In fact, the spec sheet that comes with the loupe describes changing "the battery," not "changing the BATTERIES."UPDATE: Now, only one of the LED bulbs works. The 30X one has to be "jiggled" to work and then it may or may not work. I'm disappointed.Update: Chris, from Happy Hydro, replaced the defective loupe. Thanks a lot.

I ORDERED THIS ITEM AND IT SHOWED UP WITH A SCRATCHED LENS AND WITH DIRT AROUND LENS. IT WAS NOT A NEW ITEM. I SENT IT BACK FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE EXACT SAME ITEM. THE 2ND ONE SHOWED UP AND AGAIN WAS NOT A NEW ITEM. THE CASE WAS CRACKED, LID WOULD NOT STAY ON, AND LENS IS NOT CLEAR. THE PLASTIC TAB ON BUTTON CELL WAS ALREADY PULLED OUT AND ACTIVATED. I WILL NOT BUY AGAIN AND BETTER GET MY MONEY BACK AFTER ALL THIS TIME AND B.S. NOT HAPPY

Remember when you were little and your parents would be all like - 'Turn on a light in that room while you're reading! You'll wreck your eyes! How can you see in there!' ?Yeah, well, now that's me. Tiny detail is lost on me and my old person eyes.This thing is so cool! Two different magnifications, and blindingly bright LED lights to light up the area you're looking at.In the short time I've had it I've already removed a number of slivers, taken out stitches, and yes, had a close up look at some of my plants. It's absolutely perfect for so many tiny jobs.10/10, would purchase again.

Great little magnifyer.

Good loupe. Good magnification. Fast shipping. Only issue is the screw that holds the cover over the glass keeps coming undone and has to be constantly retightened. Happy with the product.

Works perfect checking plants

Works as it should! Easy to use and easy to view through it.
