But I have a lot of other lighting at my painting station so it works out fine. A cheaper option would be getting a pair of reasonably strong reading glasses.At one time I tried using a desk lamp with a built-in magnification lens, but I did not care for it since it meant I had the lens and light between my eyes and whatever I was working on, and needed to keep that thing in a particular spot. Using head-mounted magnifying glasses means they're always magnifying whatever is in my field of vision, and if I want an unmagnified view (e.g. when I'm getting a new bottle of paint) I can tilt my head and look under the lenses (or just flip them up).</blockquote>
