Illuminated Handheld Magnifier

This Sparco 1878 magnifier combines a built-in light with dual magnification for close-up inspection. The round lens provides 2X main power and a 4X bifocal inset for finer detail. It is designed for handheld use and requires two AA batteries sold separately.

Users needing lit magnification vs those who don't

Suits anyone reading small print, examining components or working on crafts where extra light and magnification reduce eyestrain. Not suited for buyers who need a hands-free stand magnifier or a larger viewing area than a 3-inch round lens provides.

2X main with 4X bifocal inset

The optical layout delivers 2X magnification across the full lens and a 4X inset for spot-checking the smallest features. This dual-power arrangement is the specification that determines whether the magnifier matches the task.

Questions about this item

What diameter is the lens on the Sparco 1878 magnifier?

The lens measures three inches across, giving a round viewing area suited for desk work.

How do I power the light on the Sparco 1878 and what mistake should I avoid?

Insert two AA batteries with the correct polarity; the common error is reversing one cell so the LED does not light.

What will need replacing on the Sparco 1878 after extended use?

The two AA batteries will need regular replacement; the LED and acrylic lens are not user-serviceable.
