Hi;
I plan to create a special lighting system for my macro Works.
I will use the system with Mitutoyo M Plan lenses.
I want to use this type of leds;

Anyone has an idea if it is a good choice or are there better leds?
Thanks.

Lumens are not a good measure of the luminous intensity of a light source; the proper unit would be the candela. An example is given in the Wikipedia article describing the candela. See the examples section. A 1700 lumen source radiating energy in all directions would have a luminous intensity of 135 cd whereas if the output is focused into a 20 degree beam, the luminous intensity would be 18,000 cd.lonepal wrote:Hi Charles!
Thanks for the comment.
Yes I realized that the output values are very low like 30 lumens.
Do you think it is not enough for illuminating very small objects?
I use Ikea Jansjö lamps and their output is like 75lm according to their web-site.
