Opticlux
OPTICLUX has everything a modern magnifier luminaire is meant to have: a robust magnifier with 1.9x magnification, the latest LED modules, ergonomically tested arm joints and intuitive operation.
OPTICLUX’s biggest plus is its daylight-quality light field, its outstanding color rendering properties and its maintenance-free life cycle.
As an approved medical device, it can be versatilely used in dermatology, human medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine, in laboratories and for monitoring sterilized products.

Seeing far beyond the average
Magnifier luminaires are a dime a dozen. But very few are tested medical devices according to EN 60601-1. With its unique light quality and sophisticated design, OPTICLUX is ideal for use in various fields of medicine.
Ease the eyes
90 LEDs ensure homogeneous, low-shadow illumination; individual adjustment with step-free dimming, high translucence due to special lens material
Simple, versatile mounting options
The only magnifi er luminaire in its segment that is available as a ceiling version and a pin version with fastening accessories for walls, tables, rails and roller stands
Precise positioning
Light arm made of aluminum and a fiberglass-reinforced friction joints ensure long life and highly accurate positioning despite low weight
Easy cleaning
Lens cover, keypad and premium housing for fast cleaning
More economical, reliable use
High-effi ciency LED light technology saves energy and allows maintenance-free operation.
Very good color rendering
Especially skin and red tones are reproduced close to optimal daylight; color rendering Opticlux CRI / Ra > 93, R9 > 90, R13 > 95
Opticlux with Wood light
The special model variant for dermatologists, veterinarians and forensic medicine combines two lighting modes in one device: daylight white illumination and Wood light. This means that different examinations can be performed with just one light. Other Wood luminaires require the room to be completely darkened. Thanks to powerful BLB LEDs, the Opticlux doesn’t need this. That means more time for the patient.
For radiation of certain dermatomycoses to obtain diagnostic indications based on the
fluorescence that occurs:
-
ERYTHRASMA (red fluorescence)
-
MICROSPORIA (weak green fluorescence)
-
FAVUS (bilious green fluorescence)
-
TRICHOBACTERIOSIS AXILLARIS (yellow ochre-colored fluorescence)
-
PITYRIASYS VERSICOLOR (yellow ochre-colored fluorescence)
-
TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS (blue-white fluorescence versus normal skin)
-
VITILIGO (blue-white fluorescence of depigmented areas)
-
SCABIES (gray-white mite tracks)
Skin under daylight-simulating LED light
Accurate diagnosis: Skin changes appear differently under Wood light, such as favus, types of intertrigo or erythrasma

What do the CRI/Ra values mean?
The Color Rendering Index (CRI, Ra) is an index for the naturalness of color. How well are the colors reproduced in comparison to sunlight?
-
sunlight has a color rendering index of 100
-
At Ra 100, all of an object’s colours are recognized as in optimal daylight.
-
The higher the color rendering index, the more naturally the colors are reproduced.
The Wood light version is recommended for optimal diagnosis of skin diseases.
CRI 100 = Full representation of the color spectrum
What do the color rendering properties mean?
In medicine, the red test color R9 plays a crucial role, because differentiation of various red tones in tissues and blood is especially important.
R13 is the “skin tone” test color and is generally very important in skin treatments (for better recognition of veins and blood vessels), especially in medical practice and cosmetics.
