UV lamp kit finds all aircraft fluid leaks

07/09/2010

Press releaseIssued by Spectronics Corporation.

The Spectroline® MLK- 35 MAXIMA™ kit features the super-powerful MAXIMA ultraviolet lamp that detects even the smallest fluid leaks. State-of-the-art Micro Discharge Light (MDL) technology enables the lamp's 35-watt bulb to deliver up to 10 times the UV-A output of conventional High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps.

The MAXIMA is so powerful that it can be used in direct sunlight. This makes it ideal for outdoor inspections on tarmacs and in open hangars. The ergonomic design and lightweight of the lamp head — only 21/2 lbs (1.1 kg) — allows it to be held for long periods without causing stress or fatigue. The lamp's instant on/off/restrike reduces inspection time because it eliminates lamp warm-up.

The lamp kit includes UV-absorbing glasses, fluorescence-enhancing glasses and an 8 oz (237 ml) spray bottle of GLO-AWAY™ dye cleaner, packed in an extra large carrying case. Also available is the MLK-35M lamp kit, which includes a 12-volt rechargeable battery pack, as well as AC and 12V DC cord sets. The AC charger is available in 120V, 230V 240V or 100V versions.
