A side by side comparison between our
LED Fiberoptic
Pro-Otoscope powered by a LED light
source and a W/A
Fiberoptic Otoscope
powered by a halogen
light bulb . Both had batteries that were
fully charged with the picture being taken under day
light conditions
A typical halogen bulb has a normal
lifespan of 6 months to a year with normal use. It
also begins degrading and losing its brightness the
first time you turn it on. Many practioners believe
you should replace halogen bulbs after every 20
hours of use due to this degradation in light
quality. Please click the link on the Family
Practice notebook website to confirm this.

II. Preparation part B.
Our LED bulb has a rated life
is 25 years if you turned it on and let it run
continuously. It would also show no degradation at
all over these 25 years.
All Incandescent bulbs including
halogen contain a fragile filament that can be
easily broken if the otoscope drops from your hands.
The LED bulb is virtually indestructible.
The LED also burns cool and uses
a fiftieth of the electricity of a typical
halogen powered otoscope meaning ordinary set of C
cell alkaline batteries will last for months under
normal use.
Our LED light produces full spectrum
light similar to sunshine instead of the unnatural
yellow light of an incandescent. Click to learn more

full spectrum

Our lens is a scratch resistant
optical quality glass.
The W/A model uses an acrylic plastic lens.
Highest quality chrome plated
brass construction guaranteed to never tarnish or
oxidize. Size and weight of our otoscope is
comparable to the standard Welch Allyn model. Also
included is a Luer Lock Mount like the Welch Allyn
that is guaranteed to last a lifetime.
