38 customers mention22 positive16 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the weight of the magnifier. Some find it very convenient and light in weight, while others say that the weight is very noticeable and causes the visor to constantly tilt to one side.

Customers are dissatisfied with the wire length of the magnifier. They mention that the battery wires are too short, the power cords are to short, and the switch causes the light to short. They also say the wires seem too exposed and would worry that they may be cut.

Superb enhancement with bright and even lighting for 0ptivisor
This light kit is a truly excellent addition to your Optivisor. The LEDs provide a white, daylight balanced light, and because there are six of them spread out across the visor, your work is evenly illuminated with few shadows.If you buy a complete Optivisor kit, as I did, with this light kit and the accessory loupe lens, there is a minor difficulty you have to watch out for when you install everything. Do not fully install the light kit with the one-way push pins until you attach the accessory lens. The screw shaft that comes on the lens is not long enough to pass through and accommodate the thickness of the LED bezel. The Quasar light kit comes with a longer screw and you have to disassemble the lens assembly, with its spring and tension nut, in order to install the longer screw. The screw on the lens replaces one of the four plastic push pins and be sure to adjust the spring tension nut first for proper pivoting friction, before you install and tighten the nut on the inside of the visor. If you've got it right, the lens easily pivots in or out of your line of vision and stays in place without being jammed up.I was a little put off by negative comments from other reviewers about this light kit's battery pack being too heavy for and weighing down the visor. I'm glad I ignored them because I did not find it objectionable at all. Even my petite girlfriend, who uses the Optivisor for z scale model work, did not find the weight objectionable at all. I followed the instructions that came with the kit, not bothering to extend the electrical wires, and was quite satisfied. If you have any soldering skills at all, it's quite easy to splice in an extra length of small speaker wire, should you ever desire to move the battery pack to the rear clamp band and not on the pivoting visor frame. Try it as is, I think you will like it.
