The Luxo LED wave magnifier has a fully metal housing, an enclosed neck so it's good for
a cleanroom environment. There are no knobs on the neck of the magnifier so positioning
is simple. The robust internally spring mounted arm and all of these features combined means
that Luxo is confident enough to supply this unit with a 5-year warranty.
Some of you are probably very familiar with the LED light arrays that magnifiers are beginning
to feature. The reason why is that they will give you not only a low energy consumption--two,
six-watt LED lights here--but you also get a 10,000 hour work life. So if you're warrantying
for something for 5 years, there's no use doing that and having bulbs that have to be
replaced very quickly and become quite costly, which is what a lot of manufacturers ran into
with their prior fluorescent magnifiers. Often customers would end up paying $40 every year
just to replace the bulbs.
However, on the Luxo Wave LED, the price you pay upfront will be the last payment you'll
need to make for at least the next 5 years, short of any user mishaps, such as the instrument
falling. You're not going to have to replace anything or worry that you may have to keep
a backup selection of bulbs on your shelf.
A couple of the options available for this magnifier are the lenses. It's available with
a 3-diopter or 5-diopter magnification lens. It also has a couple of different mounting
options. The standard C-clamp, which is our most popular mount, and also the weighted
base if you're unable to clamp the magnifier to your desk. And then there are two different
arm lengths you can choose from: the 30-inch arm, and the 45-inch arm.
This is the ESD-safe version. It is a ESD-carbon paint that it's coated with. And one of the
things that we get asked from customers is what about the actual part that faces the
product, the housing on the under-side of the magnifier. Luckily Luxo has been smart
enough to treat that area entirely static-dissipative, as well. So this is a fully ESD-safe magnifier.
If you have any questions with regard to the Luxo LED magnifiers, their fluorescent magnifier,
or even their line of microscopes, feel free to give us a call or drop us an email. Thanks
for watching and happy soldering!
