Why examination lights?

Examination lamps: Light for precision work

Whether you're working in a laboratory, setting up a workbench for electronics, or tinkering with small parts, good lighting is essential.

Examination lights are specifically designed to provide just that — bright, focused, and often adjustable light for situations where every detail counts.

What are examination lights?
Examination lamps are lighting fixtures used in environments where precision and visibility are essential. They are often used in:

• Laboratories (medical, chemical, biological)
• Electronics workshops
• Jewelry and watchmakers
• Museums or archives for inspection of art and documents

Key features
Brightness & color reproduction

A high CRI (Color Rendering Index) is important so that colors are displayed accurately.

1. Adjustable light intensity
   Dimming function prevents eye fatigue during prolonged use.
2. Flexible arm or gooseneck
   Allows you to direct light exactly where you need it.
3. Magnifying glass integration
   Many examination lamps have a built-in magnifying glass for microscopic detail work.
4. Light source technology
   Today, LEDs are popular because of their energy efficiency, long life and low heat output.

Types of examination lamps
Clamp-mounted table models – Ideal for small workspaces

• Floor models – Useful for larger research setups
• Lamp with ring LED – Perfect for even lighting without shadows
• UV examination lamps – For detecting fluorescent substances, counterfeits or biological markers

What to look for when purchasing?
Purpose of use: Microscopic work requires different light than, for example, painting inspection.

• Color Temperature: Daylight (approx. 5,000–6,500 K) is often best for detail work.
• Stability: A sturdy base or clamp prevents unwanted movement.
• Energy consumption: Preferably choose LED technology.

Trends and innovations
The latest generation of examination lamps integrates smart functions such as:

Adjustable color temperature

• USB charging stations for small devices
• Wireless control via apps
• Sensors that adapt light intensity to the environment
  

💡 Conclusion:

A good examination lamp isn't a luxury, but a necessity for anyone involved in precision work. By paying attention to brightness, color rendering, flexibility, and lighting technology, you'll choose a lamp that will last for years.
