Miniature LED Adjustable-Arm Lights
Though not as bright as our miniature fiber-optic lights, these lights have built-in LEDs that last longer, are more efficient, and are more affordable. Use them to illuminate small and microscopic parts. They have a daylight appearance that highlights white/blue tones, which is good for inspecting.

Miniature Fiber-Optic Adjustable-Arm Lights
Create a high-intensity lighting system for inspecting small and microscopic parts. To create a complete lighting system, you need a fiber-optic light, fiber-optic cable, and an adapter to connect the cable to the light. They cast a neutral white light often found in workspaces.
Add a probe to 1/8" dia. fiber-optic cables to illuminate small areas that have recessed or deep orifices.
Pair a focusing lens with a positionable cable to create a concentrated beam of light on your work.

Circline Tubular Light Bulbs
Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb. Color rendering index (CRI) is a measurement on a scale of 0-100 of how accurately the light from a bulb represents an object's true colors; the higher the number, the more natural the colors appear. Any CRI value over 80 will show colors true to life. Bulbs with a warm light appearance have yellow tones. Bulbs with a neutral light appearance are often used in workspaces. Bulbs with a cool or daylight appearance have white/blue tones and are good for inspecting. A bulb’s estimated yearly cost is based on 3 hours of usage per day at $0.11 per kWh. They cannot be sold to Canada because they do not meet local efficiency standards and exceed local regulatory limits on mercury (for disposal information, visit www.epa.gov/cfl).

Bi-Pin Base Miniature Light Bulbs
These bulbs are small, but very bright, so they're often used in flashlights and optical instruments such as projectors and microscopes. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.
LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than other technologies. They generate little heat and withstand vibration.
Xenon bulbs are known for generating a bright light, such as a flash in a camera. They last longer than halogen and incandescent bulbs.
Halogen bulbs are slightly more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs, but they generate more heat.
