microscope light

[didyoung]

I have been thru 3 fluorescent microscope ring lights.
what about the led ring lights.
do you like them?
I am tired of replacing lights....they never go out except when I am busy using them....what to do?

You've had a bad trot by the sounds of it. My original one is still going strong after several years...........so now I've probably jinxed it!!

I'm equally as comfortable with an LED light. With most of them you can adjust the lighting control and if reflection is a bother then just dab a bit of wax or something to dull down the surface glare.

Cheers

I have been using a high intensity LED on a gooseneck. Cost about $15 and is super for side lighting.

Target 12- 20 bucks some very good gooseneck led's. I like them so weell, i now use 4 of them. I leave the base on some, remove the others. Either way, i **** them. I use 1 for my powerhone.

This is one of the best fluorescent ring lights I've used. I have them on my microscopes and they are very good quality and really bright. I also have the O.C. White LED and it's a super nice dimmable LED, but I much prefer the smoother reflective properties of the fluorescent lights.

Check out: O.C. White Micro-Lite

I use a LED I got from Maxime in Antwerp, don't know if they come by GRS. Anyway, the LED ring light has different modes, so you can turn of the light at every 45° and you can change the power too.

I bought me this one after I needed 3 fluorescent lights in 3 years.
