dentists or surgical loupes

[battlemunky]

I'm lucky enough to get away with a set of bifocal safety glasses with the secondary lens being the magnifier. I think one day I'll end up needing something stronger though.

I got this on eBay or amazon. Has 4 different lenses. Better visor than Harbor Freight. Also use the loupes you hold in your eye - set of eight or something from Harbor Freight.

I was given a set like this a couple of years ago and I was surprised at the quality: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H8808H6/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01H8808H6&pd_rd_w=t3Uye&pf_rd_p=7d37a48b-2b1a-4373-8c1a-bdcc5da66be9&pd_rd_wg=GV5HD&pf_rd_r=K9NK89JAGNBWHW338ZM6&pd_rd_r=73c523a4-3188-4717-a1e5-cb4e193468fb&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExUERTNEVCNjZFQTY5JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDI2OTkzM1BJREVKMlRKVDhCMyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjIwMTgwMzk4TVlZVzRHQ1dYQSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= (Whaddayathink @Handstitched? )

They have a nice bright light, interchangeable lenses, and great optics for the price.

I too resort to the £ shop but they're not much use for detail. I have three magnifying articulated desk lamps in my project room and for close up general detail I use these,
