Thanks. I have one of these. Battery powered. Doesn't have a power supply to plug into the house electrics. It has three LED bulbs, and while the light is very white - it's not that bright. Not enough lumens, I guess. It really doesn't light things up for close detail work, as in carving wax detail for a ring or working on a watch or clock or spinning reel. Nor does it have a focusing adjustment. Nice light - just doesn't do what I need it to.
