A system of 16 LASI units. Each LASI unit illuminates up to 0.5x0.5m with a filtered xenon short arc lamp producing 6,000K illumination.

Non-uniformity is not tested, and typical values are quoted.
LASI units are tested for spectral match compliance to ASTM E927-19 AM1.5G class C and temporal instability compliance to ASTM E927-19 class A.
LASI units include one high-quality 1.6kW xenon short arc lamp per unit purchased.

Each unit includes an integrated single-phase power supply with a touch screen interface that requires 220VAC. Systems can be operated remotely through Sciencetech PowerControl software. C++/ Python control is possible with an additional SciencetechCOM module. Labview control is possible with additional SciAX module.

In certain applications a single LASI may be used on its own. However, LASIs are best used in arrays of multiple units, as the optical performance improves when the light from multiple units overlaps.

LASI units have a mounting flange but do not include a stand to hold the LASI unit. LASI units are intended to operate vertically facing downwards. See the brochure for additional product information and available accessories.

Power requirements: 200-240 VAC, 12.1 to 9.0 A per unit.

Sciencetech's XE-LUM Luminaire is a low cost solution for researchers requiring large areas of illumination with good spectral matching but do not require high levels of spatial uniformity. The XE-LUM includes a 1.6kW Xenon arc lamp and efficient collection reflectors. At a working distance of 50cm an irradiance of 1 sun AM1.5G sun level can be achieved with an illumination area of 50x50cm. The area of illumination is up to 1.0m x 1.0m with a working distance of 1 meter.
The XE-LUM can achieve better uniformity when paired with multiple units in an array to flood the illumination plane.

The stand is an accessory that is sold separately. The XE-LUM can be arranged for vertical or horizontal illumination. In either configuration, the Luminaire can be rotated through 360 degrees in both sagittal and tangential planes.

200 to 240 VAC, 12.1 to 9.0 A.

This system includes 1 IEC 60320 C19 compatible power cables. Region-specific version must be selected at the time of placing an order (see product 491-9003).

Please speak with your authorized Sciencetech technical sales staff member for larger illumination areas, different spectral matches, or to have other customized options for this system.
