As the company who pioneered the illuminated magnifier more than 50-years ago, Luxo is credited with many of the innovations in this product category. In creating and launching its original 3.5-diopter (1.85X) WAVE magnifier in 1987, Luxo introduced the first rectangular-lensed magnifier and was honored for the “Best Industrial Designed Product” at the 1987 Hanover Fair. Since then, the product line has evolved through multiple product revisions and the WAVE family now includes Standard, ESD-Safe, UV, 5-Diopter and now LED models.
Construction & Finishes: In addition to standard lens magnifiers, ESD-Safe WAVE LED models are available. ESD-Safe magnifiers guard against uncontrolled static dissipation and are designed for use in static-sensitive environments. The outer surfaces of the components are specially-treated with a material that results in a surface resistivity of 106 – 107 Ω/sq (static dissipative). The magnifier arms are powder-coated with a metal-laced paint that measures 1010 Ω/sq (static dissipative).
The optical-quality lenses are mounted in an aluminum housing that is non-corrosive and durable. WAVE LED Magnifiers are finished in light grey. ESD Safe WAVE LED models are finished in black. Models come standard with an edge clamp or weighted base mount.
WAVE LED Magnifiers are UL/cUL listed and carry a five-year warranty.Â
