There are two different light sources provided by the objective lens of X-Loupe G Series: coaxial lighting (MAIN) and low-angled lighting (SUB). The coaxial lighting, located on the inner circle, is the direct-projection light coming out from 8 LEDs; whereas the low-angled lighting, located on the outer circle, is the lower-angled projection light coming out from the other 8 LEDs. The brightness indexes of both lighting are adjustable from zero to 5. The factory default setting of both lighting are ON and brightness index are set to 5.
