Beware the magnifier!!!!
I have a broken spine so spend a lot of time in my very expensive electric recliner. Sitting between my recliner and a window is my floor standing Ott Light with attached magnifier. The other day while zoned out stitching I could smell something weird. Wasn't until I had smoke coiling around my face that I realised the sunlight through the magnifier had set fire to my recliners headrest. Broken spine or not, I was out of that chair so fast!! So now I have this lovely big burnt hole in my pretty chair. And the magnifier has been pushed right down to the bottom of the stand lol. Just beware!!
