Nano Loupe Light
By George Freedman, DDS
Dental loupe illumination is one of the hottest “new tools” for the profession. Loupe lights are very useful accessories that permit the practitioner to always work in an optimally illuminated field, and they provide greater independence from the chair or ceiling-mounted traditional lights that always seem to encounter head or hand interference. Aligned along the dentist’s path of vision, they are literally made for the precise procedures that abound in today’s dentistry. Today, they are comfortable and easy to use, as well. For the practitioner, the important parameters for headlights are ease of wear, low weight, constant long-term power, and no interruption of use when the battery wears down. The Nano Loupe Light from Dentlight is the smallest light that is currently available (overall), and weighs 6 g (loupes) and 87 g (battery pack). The Nano Loupe Light’s innovative heat-sink technology keeps temperatures comfortable, and the LED driver provides full illumination power during the battery life. The nonmemory solid aluminum rechargeable battery can be fully charged every time, and the system’s 2 batteries ensure that the practitioner never faces downtime without illumination. Intuitive controls include a seamless backlit membrane with 3 power level buttons. The Nano Loupe Light is focused with minimum glare on the operative site and offers excellent practitioner visibility and improved patient comfort. The slide-on orange filter permits the dentist to work with composites, placing and sculpting as required, without the risk of premature polymerization. The Nano Loupe Light fits all major loupes and providing a very high intensity—45,000 lux at the highest level. The Nano Loupe Light is the ideal combination of size and power in clinical illumination.
