LT-86A 3x 5x 10x 15x 20x Desk Clip-on Magnifying Lamp PCB Inspection

The LT-86A is a clip-on magnifying lamp with a 127mm optical glass lens and six magnification levels: 3X, 5X, 8X, 10X, 15X, and 20X.

Product Overview

The LT-86A is a clip-on magnifying lamp with a 127mm optical glass lens and six magnification levels: 3X, 5X, 8X, 10X, 15X, and 20X. It uses a 22W circlip fluorescent lamp for consistent illumination and is powered by AC 220V. The lamp clips securely to a workbench or desk edge, providing hands-free, focused lighting and magnification for PCB inspection, rework, and fine assembly tasks.

  • Main lens size127mm
  • Lens materialOptical Glass
  • Light source22W circlip fluorescent lamp
  • Power sourceAC 220V
  • Mounting typeClip-on

Key Benefits

  • Six magnification levels (3X to 20X) allow inspection of both large components and fine solder joints without changing tools
  • 127mm optical glass lens provides clear, distortion-free magnification across all settings
  • 22W circlip fluorescent lamp delivers even, shadow-free illumination for consistent visual inspection
  • Clip-on design secures the lamp to a desk or bench edge, freeing both hands for soldering or handling small parts
  • AC 220V power supply ensures stable operation in industrial and workshop environments

Application Scenarios

  • PCB rework bench where operators need to inspect solder joints and component placement under consistent light
  • Incoming inspection of small electronic components and connectors with varying pin pitches
  • SMD component placement and alignment during precision assembly
  • Quality checks on fine-pitch connectors and surface-mount devices
  • Repair and inspection of small circuit boards in electronics repair workshops

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing PCB, SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Precision assembly workshops in electronics and micro-mechanics
  • Quality control teams performing visual inspection of small parts
  • Repair technicians working on handheld devices, wearables, and small circuit boards
  • Educational labs teaching electronics assembly and soldering techniques

Problems It Solves

  • A standard desk lamp casts shadows on small components, making inspection difficult under uneven lighting
  • Handheld magnifiers require both hands, limiting the ability to hold tools during inspection
  • Fixed magnification lenses force operators to switch tools when inspecting different component sizes
  • Low-quality plastic lenses introduce distortion and color shift, reducing inspection accuracy
  • Lack of a stable mounting solution leads to a lamp that moves during use, disrupting focus

Technical Features

  • Clip-on mounting with adjustable clamp for secure attachment to desks, benches, or workstations
  • Six magnification levels: 3X, 5X, 8X, 10X, 15X, 20X, selectable via a rotating lens ring
  • 127mm diameter optical glass main lens for high clarity and minimal distortion
  • 22W circlip fluorescent lamp provides bright, even illumination with no flicker
  • AC 220V power input ensures compatibility with standard industrial and workshop outlets
  • Rotating lens housing allows quick switching between magnification levels without removing the lamp

  • Lens coating options (anti-reflective or scratch-resistant) available upon request

Comparison With Other Options

Handheld magnifier with LED lightThe LT-86A provides hands-free operation and consistent lighting; a handheld tool requires both hands and may produce uneven illumination
Fixed magnification magnifier lampThe LT-86A offers six selectable magnifications in one unit, eliminating the need to switch between multiple lamps
LED ring light with fixed magnifierThe LT-86A uses optical glass for higher clarity and less distortion than plastic lenses in typical ring lights

Use Guide

  • Attach the clip to a stable desk or bench edge, ensuring the lamp is securely fastened
  • Select the desired magnification by rotating the lens housing to align the correct lens
  • Ensure the fluorescent lamp is properly seated in the circlip base before powering on
  • Use the lamp in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating of the fluorescent tube
  • Turn off and unplug the lamp when not in use to extend lamp life and reduce energy use
