The Weller WLIR8023G is an 80W corded soldering iron with a pencil-style grip and an LED halo ring.

## At a glance

- 360-degree LED halo ring is intended to illuminate the soldering area.
- Moulded pencil-grip handle is described as ergonomic for precision and control.
- Tips can be changed, with conical, chisel, screwdriver and bent-screwdriver designs cited in the listing.

## Pros

- Halo lighting around the working area can help make the joint easier to see.
- Replaceable tips allow the iron to be configured for different applications, subject to tip compatibility.

## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a noticeable one-star share makes the overall picture less uniform. The rating data does not explain the reasons behind either response. There is no supplied written customer-feedback summary, so it cannot establish views on the halo light, grip or soldering performance.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the Weller WLIR8023G have adjustable temperature?
The supplied listing specifies 80W but does not state that temperature is adjustable or provide a temperature range. Choose a model with documented temperature control if that is required.

The listing describes an LED halo ring providing 360-degree illumination around the work area.
### Can the tip be changed?

The explicit contents list states one soldering iron.
