What makes the LoupeLite360 so unique is that it employs a 360 degree LED light ring. This light ring delivers a 360 degree spread of illumination, eliminating shadows and dead spots, giving you the total view. Can you imagine looking through a typical eye loupe and having 7 flashlights shining on your subject from seven different directions? This is the reason most jewelers slowly turn the stones they view in order to address each side with illumination. Also, just so you know, the LoupeLite360 is used in all respects as a normal (Hands Free) Jewelers Eye Loupe, delivering a daytime performance that you've come to expect with the typical eye loupe, but at night or in low light 2ND TO NONE!  At Universal we're absolutely convinced that everytime you use the LoupeLite360 you'll be just as impressed as the first time.
