The size and light makes this a nice companion for reading or, if you are traveling by car or are on a night walk, for inspecting a map. This has been personally tested- the details of the map are clearly displayed by the excellent lens. Its frame and housing is made out of high-impact, elastic styrol, which is very durable and will keep the magnifiers new look for years.

Alternatively, if you take off the front lens, you have a torch, though this does not have a reflector. This Peak magnifier has been devised with surveying maps, films, reading, varied graphs, and processing products in mind.
