New Forensic Light Source Kits Offer Searchlight Power!

Spectronics Corporation has recently introduced the MAXIMA™ MFK-3500 Series Forensic Light Source Kits.  Available with either a UV spot beam or UV diffused beam, these kits utilize the latest Micro Discharge Light (MDL) technology to produce an ultra-powerful forensic inspection lamp. 

The MAXIMA lamp’s searchlight-type power allows for long-range, wide-area coverage.  Working on either AC or DC voltage, it enables forensic specialists to view potential crime scene evidence in the field or in the laboratory.  Its high-intensity, 35-watt MDL bulb/reflector easily illuminates bodily fluids, fibers, fingerprints and other fluorescent samples, even in daylight.  The lightweight lamp features a solid-state ballast and long 8 foot (2.4 m) primary and secondary cords.  A DC battery pack attaches easily to the ballast housing.

Five interchangeable, twist-lock forensic filters (UV, clear, general, blue and green) provide a maximum range of individual spectrums for enhanced detection of forensic samples.  

The kits also include four pairs of UV-absorbing contrast spectacles (clear, yellow, orange and red) and an AC charger.  They are available in 120V, 230V, 240V and 100V versions.  The lamp is stored in a rugged, plastic carrying case and a soft case is provided for the filters and spectacles.
