Bright light options for versatile viewing

The built-in LED light provides bright field illumination ideal for desks, kitchen tables, or outdoor benches. A UV lamp mode adds contrast to certain textures and surfaces, helping you spot details that may not be visible under standard lighting. Switching between modes encourages exploration of how light affects perception.
