Am getting at the age where the eyes do not work as well as they once did. Lately been having a more difficult time aligning the scale cursor to read zero with no weight in the pan and setting the tenth of a grain and individual grain marks on the RCBS 10-10 scale. The lines are just too fine.

Was at the local Woodcraft store yesterday and saw a lighted 4” lighted magnifying lamp with a magnetic base and a clamp base.  Bought one for US$45.00 plus tax.

Set it up today and sitting back about 18” from the scale at eye level, the pointer and zero mark, tenth of a grain and the individual grain markings are crystal clear. The unit is small, clear, and very bright

While a handy light, a digital scale can be had for about the same$$ and are easy to read with old eyes like mine.
