Halo combines a 9cm illuminated main lens with a smaller high-power inset, giving you comfortable magnification for the overall task and extra enlargement exactly where the smallest detail sits. Its light 0.7kg body folds flat for storage or travel, then opens into a stable mains-powered desk magnifier. 5-dioptre main lens gives 2.25× magnification across a useful 9cm viewing area. 12-dioptre inset gives 4× magnification for the finest localised detail. Rotating lens head lets you place the 4× inset where it is most useful. Three brightness levels deliver 4,000, 1,600 or 400 lux at 15cm. Compact fold-flat design weighs just 0.7kg and occupies a 15 × 15cm desk footprint.

Compact enough to move, stable enough to workOpen Halo on the desk, bring the light close and fold it away again Halo stands approximately 33cm high when open, reaches up to 36cm and uses a 15 × 15cm base.

Lens and lighting figures made clearWhat “5D Halo” actually means Specification Published value What customers should know Main lens 5 dioptres / 2.25× “5D” refers to the lens curvature, not five-times magnification.

Main lens diameter 9cm The useful viewing area provided by the primary magnifier. Brightness levels 4,000 / 1,600 / 400 lux at 15cm Three measured close-task levels controlled from the lamp. Light output 315 lumens Total visible LED output at the highest setting. Light colour 6,000K daylight / CRI 80+ Crisp, high-contrast task lighting with standard colour rendering.

Lens care + safe storageClose the cover whenever the magnifier is not in use Protect the lens—and the room around it A magnifying lens can concentrate direct sunlight, so the integrated cover is an important everyday safety feature. Close the cover whenever Halo is unattended. Never leave the exposed lens where direct sunlight can pass through it. Clean both lenses gently with a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels and harsh solvents. Keep needles, blades and tools away from the lens surfaces. Portable, but mains-powered Halo weighs only 0.7kg and folds flat, making it easy to move or pack. It still requires its two-metre power cable while operating. It is not rechargeable and has no cordless mode. Use the lamp on a stable, level surface. Keep the cable away from table edges and walkways. Support the base when repositioning the arm. Unplug before cleaning, folding or packing the lamp. Choose the right Daylight magnifierHalo, Halo Go or Magnificent Pro?

Bring the lens over the work before leaning towards it. Move the head or project until the image is sharp. Rotate the inset lens towards the exact detail you need. Use the lowest brightness that still shows the task clearly. Close the lens cover immediately after use.
