My preference is my Optivisor for magnification and an articulated arm light fixtures with a duel 100W-200W Halogen bulbs. It is amazing how much better you can see with a good intense light source. To me the articulated fixtures with magnifying lenses and neon bulbs just don't produce enough candlepower. On my inlay work station I have three duel wattage 100W/200W articulated arm laps this gives so much more light and flexibility of where the light is coming from. It really takes the strain off my eyes.

I use my optivisor all the time.  But FWIW, these things from lee valley are great and very cheap (less than $6)

Great for checking inlays, blade edges, nut slots, anything. I keep the 10x in my pocket at all times. (I even made a hole over my tablesaw fence scale to drop one in if needed.)

Whoa! What an obscure, yet brilliant, reference to a movie that not many people remember. Showing your age ain't you Don ol' boy?

Nah, I'm just being a jerk again.
