Luxo 18904BK Wave LED-ESD Magnifier

The Luxo 18904BK Wave LED-ESD Magnifier in black with 30in. arm length and 3.5 diopter (1.88X) lens is an illuminated magnifier designed for use in static-sensitive environments where electrostatic discharges can prove fatal for electronic components. The shade and arm are powder-coated with a metal-laced paint that measures 10^4Ω/sq. (conductive). The remaining components are molded in a material that measures 10^5 - 10^6Ω/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. No knobs to tighten, nothing to adjust - a flexible, self-balancing shade and hands-free neck assembly combined with 30" heavy-duty internal-spring parallel, three-pivot K-arm, allows the lamp head to be secured in any position. The fully-enclosed neck design is ideal for environments where FOD is a concern. An automatic shut-off feature and step dimming further ensures energy savings. The 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 board and similar delicate objects.
