Magnifying light - Bargin

**John** · 07-10-2006

I've just been out and bought one, well worth the money. If you have a hobbycraft store close to you then grab one of the new magnifying table lamps, should be £39.99 but now only £19.99

I've just bought one and with the daylight bulb in it it's well worth the money

btw I couldn't find one in my local hobbycraft store, they don't seem to be on display, but thanks to the Leeds store manager who got me one.

I had to get the manager to root round the stores they didn't know anything about them, but he eventually found one, if they don't pull their finger out the offer will be over

These things are very very usefull, especially if you want to have a go at such things as figures and if, like me, your eyes are not as young as they used to be!

Yay got one !! the manageress of my local hobbycraft said she was sure there was one in her stockroom and lo and behold she produced said lamp !!! It is a great bit of kit especially with the extra bit of magnification that the spot provides !!! well impressed . Thanks John for that bit of info!!!

Why advertise stuff and not have them on display, when I got mine none of the staff seemed to know about them the manager had to root round his store room as well

I did a couple of figures during this trip and took a macro shot of them with my new camera.

I was actually quite pleased with them but the trouble was when I blew them up they looked bloody awfull!!

I am going to try again when I get home with the magnifying light and see if I can get any better results!
