(Spectronics Corp.: Westbury, NY) --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 (365 nm) output of conventional high-intensity discharge (HID) inspection lamps. With these lamps, nondestructive testing (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 in. (38 cm). The ML-3500D spot with diffusing filter has a nominal steady-state UV-A intensity of 14,000 µWcm² at 15 in. The ML-3500FL features a flood bulb that delivers a nominal steady-state intensity of 4,500 µW/cm² at 15 in. 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.
