This is the slimmer sister of the original Visual Mate light. Visual Mate II is durable, lightweight (11 ounces), powerful and easy to use. And because it is lighter and has a slimmer casing, it is perfect for classes or travel. 18 watt energy-saving circuline tube is included and the 5", 3-diopter distortion-free hardened acrylic lens provides powerful, glare-free magnification and light. Use with the 10 foot cord, or purchase the 12 volt DC/115 volt AC converter (6898C) for use in your car's cigarette lighter. Sturdy molded carrying case (6898A) provides protection for storage and transport. Extra bulb is 6898D. Optional arm is 6898B. Please note that this item uses 120v AC only.
