Magnifying Lamps

Magnifying lamps, also called magnifier lamps or magnifying glasses, are crucial test and measurement tools designed to provide enhanced magnification and illumination. These portable lamps typically comprise a magnifying lens and a built-in light source (LED lights), making them a combination tool for tasks requiring close-up inspection and other work. LED magnifying lamps ensure consistent lighting and enhanced magnification, preventing users from getting vision fatigue and eye strain. A magnifier lamp features adjustable arms and swivel heads with an integral base for easy clamping on the desk or table. They come in various types, designs, and shapes to accommodate hands-free operation at different angles and distances.

What is the Diopter and Focal Length of a Magnifying Lamp?

The diopter is the lens’s curvature, which is directly proportional to the thickness and curves of the lens. For instance, the higher the diopter, the more curves and thickness of the lens. Focal length refers to the distance where an object is placed to focus from the lens. A standard magnifier usually has 4 to 6 diopter lenses with different focal lengths. It is pertinent to mention that the thickness of the lens does not correspond to the magnification of the lens.
