Lidl LED Lamp

[deergravy]

On sale now at Lidl, 72 LED lamp/magnifier.
Got one today, very impressed - the perfect fly-tying lamp, £30.
Super bright and the magnifying lens seems to be pretty high quality.
Also makes photographing flies dead easy, just tried this as a quick test, photographed through the lens, no flash.


Not super-sharp, but absolutely no faffing around.
A good purchase for sure

Another vote here, got mine this morning.
It does say that the LEDs are not replaceable, but I think a screwdriver and a soldering iron would sort that if the worst came to the worst.

That's a nifty wee magnifyer. I had the Maplins one but the anglepoise mounting wasn't very good and kept moving.

I saw this but the stem didn't appear to be suitable for my fly tying needs.

Thanks for the photo Mike,as Malcolm says stem maybe just too short for my tying station.cheers John

says stem maybe just too short for my tying station

I would have thought that putting on a wooden plinth or even a thick book would  solve that problem.
Ikea do table lamp that has an adjustable stem for hight. Not LED, a small halogen bulb but good for tying.
