The pin of the pantograph, consisting of several parts, is inserted into the clamp. As a rule, the length of the pantograph is 90 cm.

Thanks to innovative technologies, it has been possible to create magnifying lamps with bright LEDs, which increase the luminous flux, but at the same time reduce the level of electricity consumption. In addition, the light itself is softer and does not strain the eyes.

Diopters

The number of diopters indicates how much the glass enlarges the selected area. Magnifying glasses are usually used for cosmetic procedures. at 3.5 and 8 diopters. For laser hair removal and eyelash extension, magnification is usually chosen 3 or 5 diopters... Shellac and pedicure masters usually take devices with 5 diopter glasses.
