Aven Tools 26501-LED-8DV2 ProVue 8 Diopter (3x Magnification) Magnifying Lamp
Aven Tools 26501-LED-8DV2 ProVue 8 Diopter (3x Magnification) Magnifying Lamp
The Aven Tools 26501-LED-8DV2 ProVue magnifying lamp combines an 8-diopter, 3x glass lens with adjustable LED lighting for close-up inspection and precision bench work. The replaceable 5-inch lens has a listed working distance of 4.92 inches, making this model a choice for tasks requiring greater enlargement than the 5-diopter ProVue. A spring-balanced arm positions the lamp over your work, while touch controls adjust brightness and select warm white, daylight or cool white illumination. The memory function retains your last-used lighting settings.
