Healthmark Industries Introduces LED Magnifiers
Healthmark Industries announces the addition of two new optical inspection products, Made In America LED Magnifiers. The 6-inch round LED magnifier has a 43-inch reach capability that adjoins to a screw down base, equipped with a standard four diopter (2x) lens and produces the highest lumen output in a lighted magnifier. The 7-inch by 5 1/4-inch rectangular LED magnifier has a 43-inch reach that connects to a table edge clamp. Similar to the round magnifier, this model has decreased glare, heat and energy consumption with multi-angle LEDs that make shadows obsolete. Assembled with low voltage (15-24v) power supplies, the magnifier auto shuts off every four hours to curb energy loss. The Made In America LED Magnifiers produce a light output 8-watt LED array that is comparable to a 150-watt halogen. The LED technology produces more light using less energy. Their attractive design and vibrant colors will look good in any department.
