Two new lighting systems that have jewelers glowing

EDITOR'S NOTE: A survey of the latest and greatest bench lighting systems on the market led our editorial team.

Wolf EcoFlex

Designed to meet the everyday needs of professional bench jewelers, the Wolf EcoFlex is an environmentally friendly LED bench light mounted on a 25-inch flexible arm. Capable of rotating 3400 vertically and 900 horizontally, the head offers 4x 1-watt high-brightness white LEOs optically mixed to produce an even light pattern. Featuring proper thermal management to achieve a rated life of 50,000 hours, the light meets the GIA daylight color lighting standard of CIE Iliuminant 065. Dimmable down to 25 percent of full intensity, the EcoFlex features a splashguard to protect against debris and liquids.

Why It's So Cool

"I bought two [Wolf EcoFlex] lights to replace my two halogen lights at my microscope. I do a lot of pave setting work under the microscope, during which I get a lamp burn from the heat off the halogen lamps. Using the Dazor lights, I get a whiter light and cooler light."

Ronald Finch Finch Jewelers, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

"I bought two of the LED bench lights. They are great! They do not get hot like the halogen bulbs and they are very easy to position where you need the light. My jewelers love them and they work great with the bench microscopes. The adjustable brightness is very useful when setting diamonds. Now I need two more for my diamond sorting bench."
