The light is very good and pleasant. Practically that is the lamp not only has 2 joints in order to align to stretch and accordingly, no she also has an extra joint to rotate the head. So you can make good the right or left to you too!
To illustrate it, I have a few pictures uploaded.
I do not know what demands you place on a lamp. I can write in any case I am very satisfied. 3 diopters are not so overwhelming but for extreme work enough for me personally the sunken 12 diopter magnifying glass in the glass.
Furthermore, I can understand the whole discussion because of the sharpness not quite. Disarm / she is keen for my feelings like any other. If one they optimally extends it all times. This is not huge, the area is enlarged, hardly matters since I concentrate on the solder joints and not at the same time still on the platinum end;)
The base is solid at the price of the switch properly, the joints very good.
Even with long outstretched arm she is safe and well. The protective cover on top of it is a bit rickety, which could not care less but I frankly.
I am pleased at last a great light and good visibility. I was having to tighten especially at heart nothing at the table. All in all, I am pleasantly surprised and all screwed so neatly and firmly.
I will not do that to me someone just guessing that it's great for soldering. I can only speak of myself and I can write that they require for my hobby. Should be anything I'll add my review accordingly.
As of today is definitely that I am very glad that I bought it despite not so good reviews, so cheap it does not look not cheaper than three times as expensive lamp that I have to work.
To have hope you helped.
