I got one of these lamps with one of these shade mounted magnifiers from local woodwork supply co. years ago. Still tight like when new and stays where you put it. The magnifier has a slide on protective cover and can rotate around the shade for positioning. I never got a bulb with mine and use an LED spot lamp. US made so more expensive that some others but really well built.
Also have a loupe that came free with something or other plus a pair of 4X readers for really small stuff like finding shorts etc.

I have an older version of this luxo magnifer lamp model.
It was used and gifted by a friend's company, so I'm not sure of the actual magnifcation factor but the lens is glass and the image is very clear.
Has two independently switched fluorescent lamps on the sides so no shadows.
Very useful.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. Truly 450W of power to an LED light really does sound like as bright as the sun. LED's usually run somewhere between 7 and 10X incandescent so that is like a 3500W edison bulb. Wow.
I'm not certain it's exactly that, but certainly the more magnification, the shorter the working distance.
True for a simple lens, but a more complex optical system may allow for more distance at a given magnification.
