Optics: Loupes, Magnifiers & Lights

ITEM #29610:  10X WITH A .83" FOCAL LENGTH LED ILLUMINATED TRIPLET LOUPE. A Triplet lens consists of 3 glass components sandwiched together. This configuration gives the lens designer a sufficient number of degrees of freedom to overcome all Seidel aberrations. This piece incorporates 6 LEDs in a circular pattern around the opposite side of the lens from your eye, illuminating the object. A well made piece of optics. Uses (3) LR927 button batteries (included). Turns on with a tiny slide switch (shown in first photo below). One of my better selling items at pen shows.

ITEM #2000:  ACCULUX ACCULUP 2000; A 6X LED loupe with built-in, stick in the wall recharger (integrated power plug). This unit provides bright white daylight color temperature light with an LED having a high light intensity with low power consumption. The NiMH battery (with no charging memory) powers the unit 3.5 hours at a constant brightness. The unit doubles as a flashlight, in case you get up and go to flea markets before daylight like I do. In flashlight mode, implemented by twisting off the loupe front end and replacing it with the included lens, you get a suprisingly intense, focused beam, at a range from a few inches to 15'-20'.

Features and Specs:

Recharge cycle - 16 hours; can be recharged up to 1000 times

LED light intensity of the Nichia LED 5mm: 30 mcd (that's millicandellas - to check these units out, go to http://www.theledlight.com/lumens.html.
