I am interested too. But I would like to know what's the progress of the illumination module.

We are beginning to prototype various approaches for the illumination system.  I attach a couple of pictures of one of our first tests:





This accessory will be launched after the iPhone mounts, so most likely at some point next year.  All our loupes will be compatible with it.

The lighted loupe reminds me of the 20 years old high quality Nikon micro-lens I used to see, for taking close-ups. Certainly better designed than the cheaper LED-mounted loupes.. expect to pay top dollars for top value! :o

Hello, not at this stage.  The price will really depend on the manufacturing costs, knowing that the idea is to replace the middle element of the loupe with one including the lighting system, and that the system will offer white light, UV light, or combined white and UV light, adjustable brightness, inductive charging, and a custom-shaped rechargeable battery.

We will do all we can to keep the price as low as possible...
