2.25× main view
The 5-dioptre lens makes the full working area appear approximately 125% larger than normal.
Daylight Halo A25200 | Mains-powered folding table magnifier
Move from a broad 2.25× view to 4× close inspection without changing lenses.
Halo combines a 9cm illuminated main lens with a smaller high-power inset, giving you comfortable magnification for the overall task and extra enlargement exactly where the smallest detail sits. Its light 0.7kg body folds flat for storage or travel, then opens into a stable mains-powered desk magnifier.
- 5-dioptre main lens gives 2.25× magnification across a useful 9cm viewing area.
- 12-dioptre inset gives 4× magnification for the finest localised detail.
- Rotating lens head lets you place the 4× inset where it is most useful.
- Three brightness levels deliver 4,000, 1,600 or 400 lux at 15cm.
- Compact fold-flat design weighs just 0.7kg and occupies a 15 × 15cm desk footprint.

Use the main lens for context, then move the inset over the smallest detail
4× inset inspection
The smaller 12-dioptre section provides stronger enlargement for a stitch, bead, edge or printed character.
Rotate into position
Turn the main lens so the inset sits above the detail you want to inspect, without moving the entire lamp base.
Compact enough to move, stable enough to work
Open Halo on the desk, bring the light close and fold it away again
Halo stands approximately 33cm high when open, reaches up to 36cm and uses a 15 × 15cm base. The articulated arm and multi-position head bring the illuminated lens over the task, while the integrated cover protects the optics and turns the closed head into a simple task light.
Choose strong detail light or a softer working glow
High
Brightest setting for demanding close inspection.Medium
Balanced illumination for general magnified work.Low
Gentler light for simpler tasks or darker surroundings.These values are measured 15cm from the lamp. Light on the task reduces as the head moves farther away.
Small enough for the side table, useful across detailed hobbies
Embroidery + stitching
Enlarge fabric weave, stitch placement and thread detail while both hands remain free.
Beading + jewellery
Use the 2.25× lens for assembly and the 4× inset for holes, findings and tiny connections.
Models + miniatures
Inspect paint edges, decals and small components under ring-style LED illumination.
Reading + inspection
Move between fine print, labels, diagrams and close examination of everyday items.
Unfold, position, focus and inspect
Set the base
Place Halo on a firm, level table with enough room for the arm and project.
Open the cover
Lift the lens cover and keep direct sunlight away from the exposed magnifier.
Position the head
Adjust the arm and rotate the lens until the working area is centred beneath it.
Find focus
Move the work or lens until the enlarged image is sharp, then choose the brightness level.
Close + fold
Cover the lens after use, unplug the lamp and fold it down for compact storage.

Protect the lens—and the room around it
A magnifying lens can concentrate direct sunlight, so the integrated cover is an important everyday safety feature.
- Close the cover whenever Halo is unattended.
- Never leave the exposed lens where direct sunlight can pass through it.
- Clean both lenses gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels and harsh solvents.
- Keep needles, blades and tools away from the lens surfaces.
Portable, but mains-powered
Halo weighs only 0.7kg and folds flat, making it easy to move or pack. It still requires its two-metre power cable while operating.
- It is not rechargeable and has no cordless mode.
- Use the lamp on a stable, level surface.
- Keep the cable away from table edges and walkways.
- Support the base when repositioning the arm.
- Unplug before cleaning, folding or packing the lamp.

Daylight Halo A25200 FAQs
Does “5D” mean five-times magnification?
No. “5D” means the main lens is rated at 5 dioptres. It provides 2.25× magnification, making objects appear approximately 125% larger than normal.
Where does the 4× magnification come from?
A smaller 12-dioptre inset is built into the main lens. Rotate the head to place that 4× section above the exact detail you want to inspect.
How large is the main lens?
The primary 2.25× magnifying lens is 9cm in diameter.
What are the three brightness levels?
Daylight publishes 4,000, 1,600 and 400 lux, measured 15cm from the lamp. Light on the task decreases as the head moves farther away.
Can Halo be used without magnification?
Yes. Close the lens cover and use the LED head as a compact task lamp.
Is this the rechargeable Halo Go?
No. This is the original mains-powered Halo A25200 with a two-metre cable. Halo Go is a separate rechargeable model.
Is Halo suitable for travelling?
Its 0.7kg body and fold-flat design make it easy to pack and relocate. You will still need access to mains power at your destination.
Why should the lens stay covered?
The cover protects the lens from dust and scratches, creates the task-lamp mode and prevents the magnifier from concentrating direct sunlight while unattended.
How much desk space does it need?
The open lamp measures approximately 33cm high with a 15 × 15cm base footprint and up to 36cm reach.
Can the lamp colour be changed?
No. Halo uses a fixed 6,000K daylight colour temperature and offers three brightness levels.
Broad magnification. High-power inset. Compact folding design.
Bring the smallest details into a clearer working view.
Use 2.25× for the overall task, rotate 4× over the finest point and fold Halo away when the work is finished.
