LED leak detection flashlight quickly spots industrial fluid leaks

August 8, 2014 By Jennifer Calhoon Leave a Comment

spectronicsSpectronics Corporation has introduced the Spectroline® OPTI-LUXTM 400 — a powerful, rechargeable, violet light LED leak detection flashlight. It easily locates all industrial fluid leaks by their bright fluorescent glow, saving technicians valuable diagnostic time and money.

The OPTI-LUX 400 features a high-output violet light LED that causes dyes to fluoresce more brilliantly and with greater contrast than with standard blue light inspection lamps. It has power comparable to high-intensity 150-watt lamps and works with Spectroline® OIL-GLO® 33 (green), OIL-GLO® 44 (yellow/green) and OIL-GLO® 50 (red) oil-based dyes, as well as WATER-GLO® 802 (green) water dye.

The OPTI-LUX 400 is extremely compact and lightweight, which allows it to get into cramped areas that larger lamps can’t. Its inspection range is up to 25 feet (7.6 m) or more. A rugged, corrosion-resistant, anodized lamp body stands up to years of heavy use. Powered by one rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it provides 4 hours of continuous inspection between charges. The LED has a 100,000-hour service life.

The flashlight comes complete with a lanyard, rechargeable battery, charging cradle, AC and DC cord sets, and fluorescence-enhancing glasses.
