Most mag lights are only 3 diopter (1.75 power).
The 5 diopter (2.25X) lights help when you need more magnification.
Here is a source for a rectangular lens version.

You can google search for 5 diopter mag light and get more sources.
The focal length of the 3 diopter is 13" while the 5 diopter is 8".
I use a 3 diopter mag light with 3 power reading glasses due to my poor
vision.
You need to be sure the light you purchase has a protective cover over
the blub or a stray wire clipping can break it all too easily.
