Optimal illumination improves people's optical performance and reduces error rates. The use of cold light sources has been catching on in stereomicroscopy because they illuminate objects intensely.

The Leica L2 cold light source is powerful, small, compact, affordable, and is suited to all applications in industry and science. Besides classically angled lighting with one or two armed light guides, other equipment is available for coaxial, vertical, and transmitted illumination methods.

Powerful and affordable
The Leica L2 offers the greatest advantages and the most affordable price of all comparable cold light sources in its class. It is the only one that exhibits no 100 Hz flicker, which can be particularly distracting during digital image processing on a monitor.

The total light stream at the light guide output has no competition either. At Ø 4.5mm it is 54 lm and at Ø 5mm it is 63 lm. The volt-sensitive network component is also unique, calibrating itself automatically to the applicable network voltage of 100 V to 240 V and guaranteeing stable illumination performance during voltage fluctuations.

Easy to maintain and safe
The aesthetically appealing design hides a specially selected halogen reflector lamp 8 V/20 W for optimal results. The lamp casing has been refined to make changing the lamp as quick as possible: simply snap off the lamp cover, the lamp turns off automatically, change the lamp, and snap the cover back on.
