5″ Glass-Lens Magnifying Work Lamp w/ Covered Metal Swing Arm, Clamp Mount, White Finish

Condition: Used — visible cosmetic wear/scuffs on arm/housing; fluorescent ring lamp appears present; bulb life not guaranteed (consumable); includes clamp base.

This bench-mounted magnifying lamp is built for close-up inspection and precision tasks where you need shadow-reduced illumination + optical enlargement. The covered metal, spring-balanced swing arm holds a 5-inch magnifying lens and a circular fluorescent ring light (marking visible: SYLVANIA CF30/830), letting you position the head over a work surface and keep both hands free. The integrated flip cover helps protect the lens from dust/overspray when not in use, making it a solid choice for electronics benches, craft stations, salons, or light industrial QA.

Key Specifications

• Lens diameter: 5 in

• Lighting type: circular fluorescent ring lamp

• Lamp marking: SYLVANIA CF30/830

  • CF30: typically indicates ~30W circular fluorescent

  • 830: typically 3000K “warm white”, CRI ~80 class designation

• Mounting: C-clamp (bench/desk edge)

• Arm style: covered metal articulated arm (spring-balanced style)

• Color: white

Features

• Hands-free magnification for detailed work and inspection

• Ring light geometry helps reduce shadows around the focal area

• Flip-down lens cover protects optics from dust and shop debris

• Articulating swing arm provides broad reach and stable positioning

• Clamp base saves bench space—no permanent mounting required

• Covered arm channels help keep the look clean and reduce pinch-point exposure

• Replaceable lamp (fluorescent ring) for long-term serviceability

Applications and Spheres of Use

• Electronics & electrical: soldering, PCB inspection, wire termination checks, connector/pin inspection

• HVAC controls & low-voltage: control board inspection, relay/terminal identification, thermostat subassembly work

• Manufacturing / QA: small-part inspection, defect spotting, label verification

• Hobby & crafts: model building, jewelry work, beadwork, fine painting

• Salon / spa / studio: lash/nail detailing, esthetic work (non-clinical)

• Office / reading aid: document enlargement at a workstation (ergonomic alternative to handheld magnifiers)

Consumables and Service Notes

• Lamp replacement: Circular fluorescent ring (observed marking SYLVANIA CF30/830). Confirm diameter/pin style before ordering.

• Lens care: Clean with non-ammonia lens cleaner and microfiber to avoid haze/scratching.

• Arm tension: Spring joints may be adjustable (varies by design) to reduce drift.

Cross-Referenced Models (Common Equivalents by Form Factor)

• Luxo magnifying task lamps (various 5″ lens models)

• Daylight Company magnifying lamps (5″ lens series)

• OttLite magnifying task lamps (5″ lens / bench clamp variants)

• Waldmann / Dazor inspection magnifiers (industrial swing-arm types)

• Generic circular fluorescent magnifier lamps using CF30/830-type rings

Comparable Products

• LED ring magnifier lamp (5″ lens, clamp mount) — lower power, cooler operation, no fluorescent ballast concerns

• Fluorescent magnifier lamp with open-arm design — typically lighter/cheaper, less protected joints

• Large-lens (6–7″) magnifier lamp — bigger viewing area, often heavier head

• ESD-safe magnifying lamp (electronics) — designed for static-sensitive workstations

Integration in Larger Workstations (Assemblies / Systems)

This lamp is commonly used as part of:

• Electronics rework benches (with soldering station, fume extractor, ESD mat, microscope backup)

• Inspection/QA stations (with task lighting, fixtures/jigs, go/no-go gauges)

• Craft/jewelry benches (with pin vise, rotary tool, parts trays, extraction fan)

Recommended complementary items (often paired):

• ESD mat + wrist strap (for electronics)

• Small fume extractor (soldering)

• Soft bench pad / anti-slip mat

• Lens cleaning kit and dust cover
