Magnifier lights
Magnifier lights combine a magnifying lens with LED light right at the work point and are used for assembly, repair, soldering and visual inspection. Lenses run from 3 to 12 dpt: low values give a wide field of view and a long working distance, high values magnify more. Luminous flux lies between 420 lm and 1570 lm at 5 W to 16 W, light colour between 3000 K and 6500 K. Mounting is by table clamp, articulated arm or base, and ESD safe versions are available for EPA workstations.

How to choose Magnifier lights
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Selection criteria
| Criterion | Values in this category | What to look at |
|---|---|---|
| Dioptre | 3 dpt, 3.5 dpt, 5 dpt, 6 dpt, 8 dpt, 12 dpt | The higher the value, the stronger the magnification and the shorter the working distance. |
| Mounting | Table clamp, articulated arm, base | The table clamp needs no drilling, the base can be moved freely. |
| Luminous flux | 420 lm to 1570 lm | Because the lamp sits close above the workpiece, moderate values are already enough. |
| Power input | 5 W to 16 W | Input rises with lens size and luminous flux. |
| Light colour | 4000 K, 3000 K, 5000 K, 5700 K, 6200 K, 6500 K | 4000 K reads neutral, 3000 K warmer, and contrast rises from 5000 K upwards. |
| Colour rendering | Ra 80, Ra 90 | Ra 90 when colours and surfaces have to be judged. |
| Control | Dimmable, HF switching | Dimmable lamps help with reflective surfaces. |
| Protection class | IP20, IP40 | IP20 for dry indoor use, IP40 adds protection against solid objects. |
| ESD | TEC, ESD safe | ESD safe versions belong at workstations inside an EPA. |
| Supply voltage | 100-240 V, 230 V, 24 V, 110-240 V, 100 V | Mains operation dominates, 24 V suits workstation systems with extra-low voltage. |
| Manufacturer | Glamox, Waldmann, Daylight, Bernstein, Eschenbach, LED2WORK, Visionluxo, Light4Vision | Series range from KFM and Circus through TEVISIO to Wave. |
Frequent questions
- Which dioptre value is right?
- Lenses run from 3 to 12 dpt. Values of 3 to 3.5 dpt give a wide field of view and enough room for tools under the lens. From 6 dpt upwards magnification is stronger, but the lens moves closer to the workpiece.
- How is a magnifier light fixed?
- The usual answer is the table clamp, which sits on the table top without drilling. There are also versions on an articulated arm and on a base that can be moved freely.
- Are there ESD safe magnifier lights?
- Yes. The ESD filter selects dissipative versions for workstations inside an EPA to DIN EN 61340-5-1.
- How bright are magnifier lights?
- Luminous flux lies between 420 lm and 1570 lm at a power input of 5 W to 16 W. Because the lamp sits close above the workpiece, these values light the field of view evenly.
- Which light colour is suitable?
- At 4000 K the light reads neutral and suits most workstations. 3000 K is warmer, while 5000 K to 6500 K raise contrast during visual inspection. Ra 90 renders colours more faithfully than Ra 80.
