I have a desk lamp exactly like that, but with a heavy base. Maybe I could glue a magnifying glass to it. 😀

@jker FYI @yurkshirelad
Great minds think alike, I just looked this up on Amazon ...

I already have a powerful LED lamp over the desk so I just need a magnifying glass. I'm also running out of free power sockets on my power bar!

Removing the lamp and replacing it with a lens sounds perfect. The gooseneck will keep it from interfering with your hands and the "helping hands" as you work.

I did some work last night when it was dark out and I realized my LED light isn't actually that bright!
I was looking for a magnifying glass on Amazon and found one, but you have to love how they photoshopped the product into the picture!

If you use a magnifying glass, what times zoom works for you?

@yurkshirelad I mostly use 350 but sometimes a little less like 150 or 200
First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's & MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
My personal scorecard is now 1 PC hardware fix (circa 1982), 1 open source fix (at age 82), and 2 zero day bugs in a major OS.
