How to Convert Diopters to Magnification

Diopter indicates the amount of curvature of a lens. The thicker the lens, the bigger the curvature. To find the approximate magnification level of a lens, divide its diopter by 4, and add 1. The equation is: Magnification = Diopter ÷ 4 + 1 For example: For a 3-diopter lens of a magnifier, its magnification = 3/4 + 1 or 0.75 + 1 = 1.75x. Objects viewed under a 3 diopter lens will appear 1.75X larger than normal. For a 5-diopter lens of a magnifier, it …

What are SMD LED Lights?

We’re all familiar with LED lights, but have you heard of an SMD LED light? This is a new type of LED technology that will change the way you think about regular LED’s. What is SMD? An SMD stands for a surface mount device. Surface mounted devices use SMT (surface-mount technology) to mount LED chips onto printed circuit boards (PCB). What does this mean for you? Magnifying lamps made with SMD light ultimately save you time and money. Here’s why you should make the change: SMD …
