Even if your vision is 20/20, your eyes need light to see. The same dynamic is playing out with people with low vision when they use a handheld magnifying glass. Light is critical for your eyes to work and see, and light is one of the things most people with low vision take for granted and overlook. Believe it or not, some people simply eliminate the need to use a magnifying glass by adding strong task light.
Magnifying glasses without a light only work when ambient lighting in the room is sufficient. Magnifying glasses with a light make a much better tool because they can be used when ambient light is insufficient, like when you are trying to read the menu in a ‘dimly-lit’ restaurant.

The DFLB-460 Dark Field Linear Light provides a round 90° light illumination, allowing the light to “wrap” around a curved surface. Daisy-chain up to 4 lights together to cover an area up to 360°. Use NPN or PNP trigger signal to control the light’s pulse. The DFLB-460 features a factory-installed 2447 diffuser backlight lens and is a viable option for silhouetting objects. Control intensity via a 110V analog signal line.
The 4WMD is a four-channel external driver developed for multi-wavelength lights. The 4WMD permits up to four individual wavelengths to be controlled independently of each other. This external driver includes Multi-Drive™, which allows a single channel to drive LEDs in continuous operation or OverDrive™ strobe mode separate from the other channels. For quick and easy adjustments, each output channel has its own tuning control located on the front of the driver. Wavelength tuning can be controlled for continuous operation using the analog input channels as well.
If you find that Step #1 Does NOT provide enough of either magnification OR width (or Field of View), then Step #2 is to research Portable video magnifiers. If you find that Step #2 is insufficient, then Step #3 is to research Desktop video magnifiers.
The modular design of the LXB150 linear light, part of the Direct Connect Linear Light Series, offers integrated light-to-light connectors, eliminating the need for cable connectors to string lights together. The LXB150 features a factory-installed 2447 diffuser backlight lens and is a viable option for silhouetting objects. The light operates in continuous operation. This innovative design requires a power connection to the first light but eliminates the need for jumper cables to pass power through to the next, enabling tailored-length solutions in increments of 150 mm. Direct connect up to sixteen LXB150 together.
Camera integration Connect the JWL150 directly to camera housings through optional mounting plates to get the light you need in a small footprint. The JWL is compatible with many machine vision cameras and can be directly connected and controlled through a camera’s trigger output.
