ReadMate LED Desktop Magnifier

I've been using this for my stamp collection and five times magnification is honestly more than enough to catch tiny flaws I missed before. The base is sturdy so it doesn't tip when I lean in close.

My mom's been squinting at her crossword puzzles for years, so I set this on her desk and the three LED lights made a huge difference—she can finally see the fine print without hunching over. The base is sturdy enough that it doesn't slide around while you're adjusting what you're looking at.

The three LEDs make a big difference when I'm sorting stamps at night — way brighter than my old lamp. Only thing is the arm doesn't stay put if you bump the desk, so I have to re-aim it. Still, 5x is plenty for reading tiny dates.
