FWIW.... my experience has been with a 30x that has a bulb, not an LED. From what I have seen in person most of the inexpensive 30X scopes use a bulb, not an LED.
I find the description of "LED bulb" to be confusing, I have never thought that an LED could be described as a bulb, but maybe technology terms has gotten farther ahead of me than I thought.

You guys might like to try an illuminated jeweler's loupe. My latest one is a 60x and gives a very nice view of the edge. Very inexpensive at Widget Supply

Very inexpensive...............

I use a 30x eye loupe. I've got a 40x stereo microscope and a hand held 60x illuminated microscope .... but my honing improves a lot if I use the 30x loupe instead.

I like the loupes too. I just checked on Widget and they are out of the 30x / 60x combination loupe at the moment.

Anyone interested in getting the 30/60 should keep checking the website frequently to see if it is back in stock.

However the 20x/40x is quite sufficient.
