I had an old long reach round tube CFL magnifier. Then bought a similar LED unit. The LED arm only had two bars on each arm and was prone to swaying. I grafted the new head onto the old arm that had three bars on the main arm. This is very stable now. I think this may have been the reason I got it so cheap, because it was so unstable.
