The Photoallergy / Phototoxicity Single port Light Source can output UVA or UVA+UVB. The output intensity can be customized but typically is used with an output of 500 J/m2 per minute. The 16S is ideal for Photoallergy research because of its customizeable intensity output, class "A" spectral output, +/- 5% uniformity, and 2% output stability. These specifications make the 16S ideal for testing because of the accuracy of results coming from a uniform and stable light source.

Description:

UV exposure at the UVB 260 - 320 nm and UVA 320 - 400 nm range is the most biologically relevant factor for photoallergy. The 16S can output either UVA only or UVA + UVB. This feature allows an optional dimension of research to be used when studying photoallergy.

The intensity of the 16S's output can be controlled by the power supply. Full intensity ranges from 500 to 700 J/m2 per minute but the intensity can be tuned down to a fraction of that intensity. Solar Light TM solar simulators are used in testing laboratories globally and meet the latest ASTM, COLIPA, JCIA, and FDA spectral irradiance standards.

The 16S accurately replicate the suns UV. The 16S meets the latest standards for laboratory light sources by ASTM including G151 and G155 standards.

In the Ultraviolet configuration, the visible and infrared light is eliminated from its output. UV levels 20-30 times stronger than tropical sun can be produced without the thermal component associated with these high levels light.

Service and Warranty:

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 UV exposure testing. The Dose Control System allows the monitoring and controlling of the output of the 16S. It cumulates the amount of UV being outputted and automatically closes a shutter stopping the UV exposure when a preset dose of UV has been reached.

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.
