Pineapple30X Jewelers Loupe Magnifier with Light, Jewelry Eye Loop Lighted Pocket Magnifying Glass for Coins, Diamonds, Gems, Plants (Metal)

The husband fell in love with this the moment he got it. He's never been more attentive to his plants and I owe it to his new toy. He doesn't use the light often, old eyes have a hard time adjusting back to normal, but the excitement of just normal light is enough to know he loves it.

Love the look but people borrow them and don't return

The light works so-so if it was a flat led light I think it'd be better.

I had to adjust the battery cover to make it work…but I was warned about it in the instructions. Maybe some people missed the cautionary statement.

I use a loupe mostly to inspect the edge of my knives when I'm sharpening. I've been using a 10x Bausch & Lomb for the past few years but figured the built in light would be nice (it is) and a little more magnification would sometimes be helpful, and that's where I take issue. If I hold the loupe up close to my eye where I can get a strong "anchor" on my cheek for better focus, this is almost exactly the same magnification as my 10x B&L. I can hold the loupe further from my eye and get more magnification, but it's very hard to hold steady when you don't have the your hand holding the loupe up against your face, and the further away from your eye the more the edges start to distort. This is a guess, but I'd say 20x is the most you are going to get, and 10x-12x is more realistic.

Great

I use this loupe to read the tiny writing on small taps. Crystal clear! The LED light is astonishingly bright, so make sure you aren’t staring right into it like I did when I turned it on. (There are days when my stupidity astounds me.) Any old way, I highly recommend this loupe!

Nice loop. In sturdy case. Happy with purchase.
