Looks like a very good one.

Nice lamp GB, but I think I'll hold out for the one Seyco has for the Excalibur if it ever goes on sale. Julief says she couldn't do without it but I still find it too pricey.

GB, I bought one like it at Harbor Freight last week for the same price.  Had been waiting as they were on back order.  I would have jumped on this if not for the stroke of luck I had, as it was the last one there.   It sure does bring things up close and personal. I am going to have to position my self differently as I used to have to be right up on the wood.  Thanks for always looking out for us with finding bargains on all of the goodies we need.   Marion

This looks like the same one I bought at Harbor Freight when I got my "new" RBI Hawk 220vs.  It fits perfectly in the mounting hole the RBI has, and I really like it.  Very stable and I can cover the magnifier when I'm not using it.  No dust there!  Lee Valley does also offer an alternate mount that you can use instead of the clamp.  Would have liked that when I had my DeWalt 788.

I have this exact lamp. My wife bought it for me for Christmas. It is fantastic. Spreads light everywhere. Stays where you set it and doesn't move around on my DeWalt.  Works great with or without the magnifier.

I don't have this lamp/magnifier but I have it's brother.

Almost identical and with my old, weak eyes both the light and the magnification is necessary.

A real help for the smaller patterns.

I have a Craftex light/Magnifier 7". with a dust cover.
I bought about 8 months ago and it works great.Its mounted on the wall so I dont get any vibration.
I bought it from Busy Bee. in Canada
