I am now setting up my THIRD workbench here in Salina, this time at the studio with the Neumann lathe and the adjoining room with the fleet of Ampex ATR-100's.

Bench #1 is at my primary shop down the street, #2 is here in my hacienda.

Hacienda has a "clone" of this clamped onto the bench. I bought it decades ago, and my antique uses a Circline fluorescent bulb wrapped around the magnifier glass:

Main shop has a newer version with LED illumination.

Luxo is a quality brand, but quite expensive.

Just checking to see what other folks are using that sell at a better price. I rely on these since my eyes aren't getting any younger <lol>.

I use a LED one and glasses because I cannot focus without both :(. Had it for about 10 years and it is still going strong. It looks very similar to your one with the clamp but it does not have the external springs.

Cheers

Ian
