Coolight Illuminator, LED, Single and Dual Gooseneck

Advantages vs. halogen and metal halide lamps

• long life
• energy efficient
• true “cool light” source
• interchangeable fiber optic interface adapter
• smaller package
• minimal color temperature variation when dimmed and over lifetime
• fast warm-up and output stabilization
• no high voltage power supply

Why This Matters

• Long life  >25,000 hours saves money.  A typical  150W  EKE halogen bulb will require 125 replacements before the LED fiber illuminator reaches 70% of its original light output. At $27.50 *125 the cost for replacement lamps is $3,438.00
• Long life LED sources are environmentally responsible. Helps keep waste out of landfills.
  Energy use is just one-third that of a 150W halogen.
• Halogen lamps turn yellow when aged and when dimmed. LED’s provide consistent color temperature throughout their lifetime.
• LED’s have almost no infrared energy - they are truly a cool light source.A 150W halogen lamp operates between 260°F - 340°F (126°C – 171°C). Halogens can burn plastic fibers and fingers. LEDs are cooler and safer.
• Halogen lamps transmit IR heat that can damage a sample / specimen.
• Halogen lamps require costly IR filters that have to be replaced over time.

*   Coupled into 5 mm fiber optic bundle of NA = 0.6
**  Coupled into 8 mm fiber optic bundle of NA = 0.6
*** Calculated based on fiber optic throughput of 60%

Fiber optics with an active area of 3 mm—10 mm can be used with the LMI-6000; however, output flux will vary based on fiber diameter. Mechanically accommodates ferrules up to 25 mm outer diameter.
