This lighted magnifying glass is useful for so many situations. I use it for night-time reading, while sewing or doing beadwork and my daughter uses it while homeschooling to investigate nature. The bigger glass has a 5 times zoom lense and the smaller glass on the handle has a 20 times zoom lense. The light has two levels of brightness and helps me to see in lower light environments.
The light uses 3 AAA batteries which are not included and is fairly lightweight so it is portable. It is about 10 inches long, 3,8 inches wide and 1 inch thick. It fits nicely in my purse so I always have it handy anytime I need that extra help seeing small print. It really helps to relieve eye strain while reading.
