Since I now have my stand, I've started thinking about a magnifier. I currently have my stand and an Ott-Light. I'm wearing glasses that magnify a little (I explained to the doctor about what I was doing so he gave me a prescription for glasses stronger then he would have done if I just read books/worked on a computer). I can see okay on my current project, but I'm definitely leaning in and after a couple hours my eyes do get tired.

I've been looking at my options: a magnifier that attaches to my stand, a new Ott-Light with a magnifier, etc. I figured it would be a good idea to ask here what people are using and what they like and dislike about their setup.

I don't know if it's called an OTT-Light, but I have one on wheels that's a magnifier with a light circled around it. Great for working on black, or anything for that matter. I also have 2 clip-on magnifiers. I think it's a matter of what benefits each person.

I love the Razor magnifying lamp. It's kind of pricy though, around $600 for the non rolling stand.

I got the Ott light with a magnifier but couldn't get the magnifier where I wanted it.

I got Mighty Bright floor magnifier and it works like a champ.
