The MikeLite 2 is a battery-operated model that is an excellent choice for stereo microscopes.  It was designed for field work where AC power is unavailable or inconvenient to use. The ML-2 uses 4 AA batteries and will run two type-L illuminators for 8 hours, producing 20 lumens each of well-collimated white light, about half that of the ML-350-2.  However, the ML-2 has plenty of light for most stereomicroscopic applications.  The ML-2 is small in size (about the size of a deck of cards) and takes up minimal counterspace. We recommend using two 12" type-L illuminators (Model W12-L1) with the MikeLite 2. Note: MikeLite 2 power source and gooseneck Illuminators are sold separately.

     Features:

• Battery operated. Can be used anywhere
• Auto shut-off after 60 minutes to save battery life
• Long battery life. Stays at full intensity for 8 hours
• Medium-high intensity. Each illuminator produces 20 lumens of collimated light
• Small size. Uses less than 10 sq. in. of counter space
• Useful for stereomicroscopy and field macrophotography
• Dependable microprocessor circuitry
• Patent pending
• Made in USA

The MikeLite 2.3 is an excellent light for a field microscope where super high intensity is not required. It can be operated in the field with four AA batteries or run in the lab with a 12 volt DC line transformer (included). The ML-2.3 is an excellent power source for the high-powered UV illuminators. The ML-2.3 uses all MikeLite illuminators except for the type-L illuminators.

    Features:

• Compact size, smaller than a deck of cards
• Variable intensity on/off switches
• Eleven hours battery life when using two triple-LED Illuminators and 300 hours when used with the wall transformer
• 115 volt wall transformer for indoor lab use included
• Auto shut-off after 60 minutes to save battery life
• Red LED low-battery indicator light
• Uses sophisticated microprocessor circuitry
• Excellent power source for the MikeLite UV illuminators
• Uses all MikeLite illuminators, except for the type-L illuminators
• Patent pending
