Waldmann Omnivue Lighted Magnifier Nichia 219 Retrofit

I have a rather nice lighted magnifier in my workshop. It is a Waldmann Omnivue. These sell for around $400 each, but I snagged this one years ago at a local surplus store for around $40. [image] The only problems with it is that it uses 3 G23 9W compact fluorescent bulbs. These put out around 500 lumens each. The magnifier lets you select either two or three bulbs. There is also a snap-in diffuser over the tubes. You can get add-on lenses for a X2 and X4 magnification boost. [image] Floures…

I bought the add-on high power lens for it… cost more than what I paid for the light.
