Objects through a magnifier appear bigger.



LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output.

Its amazing to me how much technology evolves and at the rate it does. In my house I have a plethora (yes its actually a word) of torches, & lights (mostly LED), I have one at my front door, for lighting during black outs, & for fending off unruly guests, in my car, in multiple kitchen draws. Basically I have a fasination with them, the bigger the lumen the more i'm interested. The LED torches just keep on working and the batteries last almost forever.

Ever have a piece of glass or a fine splinter in your hand, and all you need is light and some way of magnifying the image so you can get the offending item out?? Well this is what I needed last Sunday night when I had an offending piece of glass lodged in my foot!

While I was overseas sourcing products I found a brilliant new range of LED lamps, we have brought in what we believe to be the first LED magnifying lamps in South Africa, LED technology has evolved in leaps and bounds, giving you great light with little energy consumption, for all us greenies!

They also have a lovely item called "Helping hands" - you know the situation, while trying to solder a small wire onto a tiny connector you end up holding the soldering iron in your mouth, while holding the two connections , and you end up burning your fingers along with a lot of cursing. So this is must have - it just makes things a little easier, why battle?

Helping hands

Both items and a new larger Illuminated magnifier (with 90 LED's) are now in stock!
