I do give a battle here so to determine magnification VS actual Focus point distances.
By using the torch light, some how, Focus point distances they extend further.

Lens magnification with torch light:
with one lens - 1.8X  2.0X  --  focus distance 320 mm (Kiriakos eyesight dependent)

So if we need to have a focus range under lower magnification,  this could be (Min/Average/Max)  220mm ~ 250mm ~ 320mm .. (all dependent to light source conditions) with an artificial light source.
And or 220mm ~ 320mm ..

I think that this is enough, for soldering and desoldering of most common in side components.
You may also lift the magnification head ,  and lower the torch light angle,  and then you may have a Headband torch light;)

Yes, its usable as solo headband torch light.  :)
But only in an emergency, because you are always in a risk, crashing the magnifier lens over another object.

MA-016 this feels comfortable over your head, and after some time you may forget that is there.  ;D

Below they are two photographs, showcasing MA-016 angle, when torch light (at lowest angle) this aims forwards, at the eyes height.
