I bought one of the last year also for £19.99, excellent value for money and the light is just superb. Don't need the magnifier yet but it is there for when I do.

I also have one. The light is great and the magnifier is handy at times to examine somebody else's flies

Thanks for this. I don't tie flies as yet but moving house next month and plan to use the 4th bedroom as a 'fishing room' so will be very useful.

Ordered yesterday at 2pm.....arrived this morning at 10am!!

FANTASTIC SERVICE!!

Product looks really good.

Derek

Just walked down to maplins and got one of these. A bargin I reckon. Gives out a nice white light. Much better than a normal bulb.

Will test it tying some flies as soon as my eyes recover from our "making the most of cider before the price goes up" evening.
