The
MAXIMA™ ML-3500Series ultraviolet lamps use advanced
micro discharge light (MDL) technology, plus a unique filter and
bulb/reflector, to deliver up to 10 times the UV-A (365nm)
output of conventional HID inspection lamps. With these lamps, NDT
inspectors can see the smallest surface defects, hydrocarbon contamination
and other flaws that escape less powerful lamps.
The ML-3500S model features a spot bulb and has
a nominal steady-state UV-A intensity of 50,000 µWcm²
at 15 inches (38cm). The ML-3500D spot with diffusing
filter has a nominal steady-state UV-A intensity of 14,000 µWcm²
at 15 inches. The ML-3500FL features a flood bulb
that delivers a nominal steady-state intensity of 4,500 µW/cm²
at 15 inches. All bulbs feature a rated life of 2,000 hours. An
instant on/off/restrike eliminates lamp warm-up and reduces inspection
time. The lamps produce virtually zero emission of hazardous UV-B
and emit minimum visible light.
MAXIMA Series lamps are available in 120V, 230V, 240V and 100V
AC versions as well as battery-operated versions that include a
12-volt, 7 amp/hr rechargeable battery, which will operate the lamp
for two full hours. A battery recharger and carrying case are included.
