What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This handheld magnifier gives you 2.5x magnification through a 3.5-inch acrylic lens, with a built-in 7x spot lens for a closer look at fine detail. Three bright LEDs with diffusing covers light the page evenly, so you get fewer hot spots when reading small print or looking at something in dim light. A multi-position switch gives you two brightness settings. It also works for hobbies and crafts. It runs on 2 AAA batteries, which are not included.
