Luminoscope®, the ultimate headlamp tester
Luminoscope® headlight testers are the international standard in the field of headlamp aligners and beam setters.
They are used in workshops, bodywork shops, vehicle roadworthiness centres, and in vehicle manufacturing plants on the assembly lines.
Luminoscope® headlamp beam setters come in various shapes and sizes, from our basic visual devices to our high-tech, electronic camera-based aimers.
