Illuminated magnifiers for electronics, cosmetology and other industrial applications Magnification is essential to a large number of industrial applications Modern manufacturing includes all intermediate processes required for the production and integration of a product’s components. Many of these processes including assembly, inspection and rework, rely on the use of illuminated magnifiers. A number of industries are particularly sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD), and need to establish measures for eliminating static. ESD-Safe magnifiers are a valuable tool in these industries as they help guard against uncontrolled static dissipation. The history of Luxo illuminated magnifiers Luxo’s history of lighting for the individual began with the development of the L-1 task light in 1937. The freedom of movement and the ability to place light exactly where it was needed, forever changed the way task lights are used. L-1 was designed by Luxo’s founder, the Norwegian industrialist Jac Jacobsen, and is still in production today. The lamp arm is balanced by springs that work on the action and reaction principle of human arm muscles. Jac Jacobsen soon realized that his spring-balanced arm could carry a variety of different luminaires, including illuminated magnifiers, for numerous purposes. 2 The decades following saw Luxo’s development of a range of illuminated magnifiers for industrial applications, electronics, therapy and cosmetology, low vision and the healthcare sector. Modern range of arm-based magnifiers Naturally, Luxo’s range of products has been vastly expanded since those early days. However, the philosophy and knowledge from the development of the L-1 is still maintained in all of Luxo’s modern products. Today, Luxo’s range of illuminated magnifiers comprises a wide variety of arm technologies, with internal or external springs. They all have perfect balance and careful ergonomics built into them. Luxo pioneered the development of illuminated magnifiers for industrial use. This L-1 L magnifier was manufactured in 1955 and is still in use today. 3 Perfect balance, maximum flexibility Luxo’s magnifiers are specially designed to maximize horizontal and vertical movement. They provide significant horizontal reach, and will always stay in the right position without drifting. The arms are balanced by spring systems which ensure smooth and easy positioning – no knobs to tighten, nothing to adjust. The ability to position the lens and direct the light exactly where it is needed is the hallmark of Luxo’s illuminated magnifiers. The flexibility of the lamp head means that it is easy to adjust the magnifier for your personal needs. Friction-free lamp head movements - Horizontal side-to-side movement (yaw) - Up and down movement (tilt) - Rotation around a horizontal axis (roll) The flexibility of the self-balancing arm and friction-free joint between the lamp head and arm makes exact positioning easy. It is the combination of arm and head movements that determines the degree of flexibility in a magnifier. Luxo’s magnifiers are highly flexible, offering a combination of the three all-important head movements: Friction-free joint between the lamp head and arm. 4 Friction-free joint between the lamp head and arm. The importance of light quality At Luxo we know how important light is for the working environment and for the health and well-bring of an individual in a workplace. Good lighting reduces the risk of health problems, increases safety, and enhances productivity. For this reason Luxo places great importance on the light quality of our illuminated magnifiers. They are not just magnifiers with light, but powerful luminaires with excellent light output. The quality and exact positioning of the lightsources in relation to the lens allows for virtually shadow-free magnification and excellent color rendering capabilities LED: Lightsource of the future Over the past few years, Luxo has designed and manufactured a new generation of luminaires, all featuring LED instead of traditional lightsources. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are semiconductors that emit light when an electric current passes through them. LEDs can be used on their own, or assembled into modules for added power. Ergonomic. Energy-efficient. Economic. Luxo’s modern LED magnifiers are designed to provide the best possible ergonomics, while saving energy. They use only a fraction of the energy required by luminaires with traditional lightsources. LEDs have an incredibly long life span. The diodes in Luxo LED magnifiers have a life expectancy of more than 50,000 hours. That equates to 25 years or more with normal use. 5 Product guide Wave® LED Rectangular lens LED magnifier WAVE LED is a magnifier for industrial applications. No knobs to tighten, nothing to adjust – a flexible, self-balancing shade and hands-free neck assembly allows the lamp head to be secured in any position. The fully-enclosed neck design is ideal for environments where foreign object debris (FOD) is a concern. An automatic shut-off feature further ensures energy savings. WAVE LED offers shadow-free magnification with light coming from both sides, as well as three-dimensional magnification lighting from the left or right. The 3D-feature is especially welcome when working with circuit boards and similar delicate objects.

The shade and arm are powder-coated with a metal-laced paint that measures 104 Ω/sq. (conductive). The remaining components are molded in a material that measures 105-10 6 Ω/sq. (static dissipative). Since the surfaces are no longer insulative, triboelectric charging results in drastically lower voltages, especially since any charge (under 50 volts) is uniformly distributed throughout the entire surface of the head assembly.

Luxo’s line of magnifiers includes a selection of lenses (shape and size), materials and glass. Please refer to the product guide to determine which model is best suited for your needs. Using a Luxo magnifier Luxo’s illuminated magnifiers are working tools. They are designed for precision and comfort. We recommend using both eyes to view an object whenever possible. In order to achieve maximum magnification without distortion, the user should position the lens a proper distance from the object, and fairly close to the eyes. Do not lean back and away from the lens in order to increase magnification. Seating and worksurface height should be adjusted for good posture. Definitions Diopter Diopter is an optical term referring to the refractive (light bending) capacity of a lens. Each diopter increases magnification by 25%. Magnification The degree to which a viewed object is enlarged. Expressed in percentage or by the symbol X. 100% magnification = 1X magnification, i.e. the object appears to be twice its actual size. To determine the level of magnification based on diopters used, divide the total diopters by 4 and add 1. eg. 5D/4+1=2.25X. Field-of-view Field-of-view is the area which is visible as seen through a lens. Focal length Focal length is the distance from the center of the lens to the viewed object when in focus. As magnification increases, the focal length decreases. Working distance Working distance is the area between the underside of the magnifier and the top of the object being viewed when the object appears in focus. 14 Choice of magnification The degree of magnification needed varies with the task at hand. With low level magnification an object can be studied while the edge of the object remains in focus. With increased magnification, small details are clearly visible but the blurring at the edge of the object increases. Magnification table This table provides a complete overview of the total magnification options available by adding secondary lenses to Luxo’s illuminated magnifiers.
