Visionstar C-200A

Services working in borrowed rooms are the clearest application, and the constraint they face is not space but tenure. A community optometry session, a prison or secure unit clinic, a care home service operating from a fixed base — in each case the room is available on certain days and belongs to somebody else the rest of the week. Equipment that can be set up and taken away is the only kind that fits, and at 72 kg this is the only unit in this range that genuinely can be.

Practices reconsidering room layouts benefit from the same property. A 200 kg unit is positioned once and the decision is effectively permanent; moving it means hired lifting help and a cleared route. At 72 kg two people carry it through a doorway, so a practice that wants to swap two rooms over, or move the testing position after living with it for a year, can simply do so.

Difficult delivery access is served by both the weight and the 1600 mm height. Upper-floor premises, period buildings with narrow staircases and rooms with sloping ceilings or ductwork all become viable where heavier or taller units do not.

Working height is set rather than fixed: 170 mm of table lift across a published 680 to 850 mm band is the largest table travel in this range, which suits shared rooms where several clinicians use one position.

Two things belong in the decision. No stability figure is published, and 72 kg is light for a unit of this size — if a heavily loaded table or sustained high-magnification work is central, a heavier unit is the right choice. And the chair is 460 mm wide, narrower than most here, with loading unpublished; confirm both together.

It stays movable after installation

A 200 kg unit is positioned once and the decision is effectively permanent. At 72 kg two people carry it through a doorway, so a room layout remains something a practice can change its mind about.

The only unit here that fits a borrowed room

Where the room is available on Tuesdays and belongs to somebody else the rest of the week, equipment has to be set up and taken away. Seventy-two kilograms makes that realistic.

Lightest in the range by 18 kg

The next lightest is 90 kg and the heaviest 240 kg. This sits well clear at the bottom, which is what makes upper-floor and period-building delivery straightforward.

Joint lowest overall height

At 1600 mm it matches the lowest unit here and stands 320 mm below the range standard, so sloping ceilings, ductwork and suspended ceilings do not rule it out.

The largest table lift in the range

One hundred and seventy millimetres across a published 680 to 850 mm band means the working surface is set to the clinician rather than fixed — useful where several people share one position.

A published working height band

Most units in this range give a lift distance without stating where it starts. Having both figures lets a room be planned against a real working height rather than an assumed one.

Broad-beam illumination

The manufacturer specifies a floodlight rather than a lamp, at the same 20 W, which normally implies a wider and more diffuse spread — worth confirming, but a distinction the datasheet makes deliberately.

72 kg total weight

The unit weighs 72 kg, the lightest in this range by 18 kg and roughly a third the weight of the heaviest.

1600 mm overall height

The unit stands 1600 mm high, matching the lowest in this range and 320 mm below the range standard.

170 mm table lifting size

The worktable lifts 170 mm, the largest table travel in this range.

680–850 mm working height

The manufacturer's drawing gives a working height band of 680 to 850 mm, a figure most units in this range omit.

880 × 500 mm worktable

The working surface measures 880 mm wide and 500 mm deep.

530 × 370 × 60 mm drawer

The drawer offers 60 mm of internal depth for a trial lens set.

160 mm chair lift

The chair lifts 160 mm for positioning.

460 × 500 mm chair

The manufacturer's drawing shows a 460 mm chair width and 500 mm depth — narrower than most units in this range.

20 W floodlight

Illumination is specified as a floodlight rather than a lamp, implying a broader beam spread; confirm beam character at order.

880 × 1100 mm footprint

The unit occupies 880 mm by 1100 mm of floor area.

120 W total power

Total power draw is 120 W, including the 20 W floodlight.

AC 110V/220V input

The unit accepts AC 110V/220V at 60/50 Hz; supplied variant and plug configuration confirmed at order.

The Visionstar C-200A weighs 72 kg, which is 18 kg less than anything else in this range and roughly a third the heaviest. The consequence is not just easier delivery but a unit that stays movable after it is installed: a 200 kg unit is positioned once and the decision is effectively permanent, while at 72 kg two people carry this one through an ordinary doorway. That makes it the only unit here that genuinely suits a service working in borrowed rooms — community optometry, secure unit clinics, care home services from a fixed base — where the room is available on certain days and belongs to somebody else the rest of the week. At 1600 mm it also matches the lowest unit in the range, so sloping ceilings and ductwork do not rule it out, and the 170 mm table lift across a published 680 to 850 mm band is the largest table travel here. Two things to settle: no stability figure is published and 72 kg is light for this size, so a heavily loaded table or sustained high-magnification work points to a heavier unit; and the chair is 460 mm wide with loading unpublished.
