The Dehumidifying Box for Lens, also known as the Lens Dryer, is a revolutionary product that provides a dry space for photographic equipment. Unlike other lens dryers on the market, this design by Dongsheng Liu offers simplicity, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. Its compact size allows it to be used in various scenarios, whether placed in a lens storage box or packed into a lens backpack.
The inspiration for this design comes from the shape of a lens itself. The translucent material on the top of the dehumidification box allows users to easily observe changes in the color of the internal desiccant, indicating the level of moisture absorption. This innovative feature ensures that photographers can assess the condition of their equipment at a glance.
The Dehumidifying Box for Lens is made using high-quality materials. The polypropylene shell material provides excellent heat resistance, allowing the box to be heated in a microwave oven without generating harmful gases. The internal cobalt-free color-changing silica gel can be restored to a dry state by heating it at a high temperature of 100-120 °C, returning its color from green to orange. This process allows the silica gel to be reused, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice.
With dimensions of 60 mm * 60 mm * 65 mm, this lens dryer is compact and portable, making it ideal for photographers on the go. The internal silica gel particles, measuring 3-5mm in diameter, effectively absorb moisture and maintain the optimal condition of lenses.
The Dehumidifying Box for Lens is a result of extensive research and development in green design. Dongsheng Liu and the design team aimed to create a product that not only protects photographic equipment but also reduces resource consumption and environmental impact. By offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution, this lens dryer sets a new standard in lens care.
This innovative design has been recognized for its excellence. In 2019, the Dehumidifying Box for Lens received the Iron A' Design Award in the Sustainable Products, Projects, and Green Design category. This prestigious accolade acknowledges the product's well-designed, practical, and innovative features, meeting professional and industrial requirements while contributing to a better world.
