The 16S is a turn key PV Cell testing light source. The single output of the 16S-300-002 produces full spectrum sunlight and is a class "A" simulator. The 16S-002 comes with a vertical beam adapter that redirects the light beam to point downward. The spot size is typically 2.25 inches with an 1 sun output intensity.

> Optional Dose Control System for monitoring and controlling the amount of simulated sunlight.
> UV and Air Mass 0, 1.5 spectra available

Description:

The 16S accurately replicate full spectrum sunlight and meets the latest standards for light sources by ASTM. Many of the ASTM standards requiring the G151 and G155 standards can be accomplished with the 16S-002. The 16S-002 can be used to test solar cells according to ASTM standards E948-95, and G173.

Solar Light provides free telephone technical support for the life of our products. We also provide a 1 year Standard Warranty on all of our products covering parts and labor.
> Extended Warranty Plans are also available.

Optional Equipment:

> Dose Control System - The Dose Control System is an integral part of conducting precision sunlight exposure testing. The Dose Control System allows the monitoring and controlling of the output of the 16S-002. It cumulates the amount of light being outputted and alerts you when your preset dose has been reached. This features allows you to expose a precise amount of light to the solar cell.

Typical Maintenance:

  • Xenon arc lamps need to be replaced after 800 hours of use or once lamp begins to gray.
  • Lamp alignment should be checked annually by dealer or Solar Light Technician.
