Restoration of old instruments
The meeting of the past and the future
Old instruments, such as laboratory and operating microscopes, ophthalmological instruments, are not only of historical value, but also serve perfectly today when renovated. Unfortunately, not every institute can afford to constantly replace old ones with the latest microscopes. By renovating old instruments, we not only restore the original condition of the instruments, but we can also incorporate modern technology, making them usable in the long term.
Why is it worth replacing old bulbs with LED lighting?
- Long lifespan: LEDs last much longer than traditional bulbs.
- Energy-saving: LED lighting consumes significantly less energy.
- Cold light: LEDs do not heat the environment, so they do not damage the sensitive components of the instrument.
- Wide range of colors: LEDs can create lights with different color temperatures, so we can preserve the light of the instrument similar to the original incandescent lighting.
- Small size: LEDs are compact, making them easy to install in old instruments.
- Adjustable brightness: Many LED lights have adjustable brightness, allowing the user to adjust the brightness to their needs
The renovation process - Condition assessment: The first step is to thoroughly inspect the instrument to determine its condition and any repairs that are needed.
- Dismantling: The instrument is then disassembled in our service center to access the light fixtures.
- Cleaning: The old bulbs and sockets are thoroughly cleaned.
- Measurements are taken: The voltage, power, and socket size of the old bulb are measured.
- LED selection: Based on the measurements, the appropriate LED light source is selected.
- Installation: The old bulb is replaced with a new LED, along with the appropriate cooling system
- Assembly: The instrument is reassembled.
- Testing: The refurbished instrument must be thoroughly tested to ensure it works properly.
Important information
Expertise: Refurbishing old instruments requires expertise. If you are not sure about your skills, leave the job to a professional!
Spare parts: It is not always easy to find spare parts for old instruments. Therefore, it is worth informing yourself in advance whether the necessary spare parts are available.
Summary
Replacing old instruments with LED lighting is a great way to preserve the past and modernize these instruments at the same time.
LED lighting offers many advantages, so we can enjoy the use of refurbished instruments in the long term.
