robbt,

Check you local safety supply store or medical supply. They have the type you often find in clinics etc. I obtained mine from a local safety suply store. it's lighted and adjustable. Good luck.

In auction site or search engine, type "Magnifying lamp". $20 to $100.

I have bought two drafting lamps in the last year at estate sales. Gave $10 for the last one. I believe the brand is LUXO. Long arms, springs, circular neon bulb with a magnifier in the top. You can adjust them any way you want and they stay.

The real deal Luxos are expensive new--Grainger carries them. There are cheap imported alternatives.

If you do not need the lamp and only want a magnifier that mounts, look on sites that cater to fly tiers. They've got magnifiers on flexible goosenecks that are reasonably priced.

I resently got me a Magnify visor that really works good check these out.

I believe I bought mine at Lowes , the bench top is made of 2x12's, so I drilled a 7/16 hole along the back edge and don't lose important space to the weighted base

Any place that sells fly tying supplies will sell magnifying glass. I have one with a flexible neck and a heavy base. I can move itaround or clamp it to the bench. If you have a Harbor Freight near you they often have them with articulating arms and lights. Good luck.

Harbor Freight has one for less than $10. Holds a lightbulb. The lens is plastic, but not bad for the money.
