The MAXIMA™ ML-3500
Series 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.
