Neitz Illuminators NTZ-NSI X
Accurate observations using surgical loupes and other optics during ophthalmic practice depend on bright, clear, and reliable illumination to ensure ease of operation and patient care. With over a half-century of manufacturing the finest in medical optics, Neitz understands this need. That’s why they produce the award-winning NSI-X, an LED surgical loupe illuminator with industry-leading brightness and exceptional battery life.

The long battery life, exceptional brightness, and comfortable design of the NSI-X illuminator by Neitz make it a perfect companion for the BL surgical loupes by Neitz and a powerful tool for any clinic.
The NSI-X boasts the world’s highest illuminance, providing in high mode 84,000 lux at 9.84 inches in the NSI-X100 and 100,000 lux for the NSI-X80. This brightness facilitates ophthalmic examinations using the Neitz line of surgical loupes and brings crystal clarity to videos and images captured with the SC-I surgical camera system. This is only one of the reasons the NSI-X was awarded the 2014 Good Design Award.
The NSI-X is powered by a built-in rechargeable NiMH battery that can sustain the brightest illumination level for 3.5 hours. At mid-level illumination, the NSI-X can provide a staggering 7.5 hours of light, enough for even the longest days in the clinic. If the battery does run out, its fast-charging technology allows it to charge completely in only 2.5 hours. The small, lightweight form of the battery pack and the long reach of the cable connecting it to the LED casing allows the NSI-X to rest comfortably in the jacket pocket or clipped to the waist.
