Why choose LED?

Wondering what the benefits are of using LED bulbs in your otoscope or ophthalmoscope?

• LED bulbs have a life expectancy of up to 50,000 hours! (To put it into context that is nearly 5 ½ years if it was left on continuously from day 1!)
• LED bulbs are unbelievably efficient! Virtually all of the energy they use is consumed producing light.
• LED are solid in construction and do not use a filament. This makes them virtually indestructible during normal use.
• LED bulbs have a constant light output meaning the performance will remain uniform throughout its lifetime.
• LED bulbs have a far lower operating temperature! Around 95% of the energy used by an incandescent bulb is wasted generating unnecessary heat.
• LED bulbs generally score higher marks on the CRI (Colour Rendering Index). This means they can produce a more accurate light for truer colour representation.
• Due to their incredible efficiency, LED diagnostic sets last up to ten times longer on a set of batteries.
• Greener! With less battery/bulb usage the LED sets are greener for the environment and far better on the pocket!
