Devices

We offer a wide range of add-on devices that fine tune the height, intensity, and placement of our standard lighting systems in order to truly perfect the lighting of each and every one of your minerals. Whether it’s isolating and directing light where it belongs or diffusing harsh brightness, our devices are tools for overcoming lighting obstacles. From light diffusers to flex connectors, your minerals have never looked better. All of our devices were made for exclusive use within our FMI display systems.

The FMI Lighting Solution

Every one of our devices has been crafted to perform with efficiency and ease. Interchangeable parts allow for quick and flexible alterations to displays, giving you complete freedom in the look and feel of your presentation. While traditional lighting forces you to purchase entirely new systems with every lighting change, our solution provides you with instruments that adapt the system to you.

Available in 3000K or 5000K temperature

LR Focusable LED

Long Range Focusable LEDs zero in on one specific aspect of your specimen. Specimens with two or more associated minerals are now no longer subject to one temperature light, as every crystal can get the unique attention it needs. Outfitted with stereo-jacks, they plug into all our lighting sockets with ease, making repositioning fast and easy. Fixture heads turn and pivot in all directions for instant, long-lasting, LED light.

  • Available in Black or White
