4x magnification should be more than enough for needlework. In fact, it may be a little high. The majority of magnifiers out there were 2-3x, with only a few being 4x. You might find that it magnifies your stitching too much.
I would recommend 12 gauge. It's good for 20 amps

To provide a strong ,hot enough arc to light the lamp by over comingthe resistance of the gas in lamp.
its a good lamp
16 AWG is plenty large enough for a 50 or 100 watt lamp.
Not hot enough .

Typically you get a 3x or 5X magnifier with table lamp magnifier. To get anything higher you'd need to order a specialized Inspection lamp designed for a factory worker to inspect small parts with. It appears that the biggest you can get is 10 Diopter. This would require that you order an extra lens for 117$ from this page lssproducts.com/category/magnifying-lamps
Good Lighting.
A gooseneck lamp is a lamp with a long flexible "neck" between the lamp base and the bulb. They make good reading lights as they can be bent to shed light just where it is required.
