Panoramic Binoculars LUX

Overview
Lux is a panoramic binocular for permanent outdoor installation, built in Italy in AISI 316L stainless steel. It features 8×56 optics with fixed focus from 50 m to infinity. It can be free to use, coin-operated or fitted with a contactless payment system, and is available on a standard, slim, height-adjustable or wheelchair-accessible stand.

Durability and finish
AISI 316L stainless steel construction with Natural Oxy finishing provides maximum resistance to sea water, harsh weather, pool chlorine, high altitudes, snow and high temperatures, guaranteeing long life in functionality and aesthetics.

Optical system and protections
ED (Extra Low Dispersion) lenses with dielectric coating, anti-fog protection using nitrogen gas and O-rings, antiglare and antiscratch glass. Optics are waterproof and designed for a wide field of view and high contrast.

Payment and anti-vandal systems
Multiple operation modes: always free, classic coin acceptor (multi-currency) or contactless cashless system (contactless option requires electrical connection). Robust anti-vandal design: ultra-thick stands, installations without visible screws and secure strongbox-style components.
