    About Brightness and Light Appearance
    industrial info icon

    Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

    Style E

    Rechargeable Battery—Lights with rechargeable batteries include a USB charging cord.
    Style E—Style E help you find fluid leaks and detect flaws and contaminants on a surface—they have an ultraviolet light in addition to a white light. Their white light helps you distinguish similar hues. They show color more accurately than most LEDs. Use them where color identification is critical, such as paint inspection and wiring. The base is magnetic, so you can attach them to most metal surfaces, and a hook folds out for hanging. Designed tough, they can withstand a drop from up to 6 feet without breaking.
    ANSI/PLATO FL 1—Floodlights tested against ANSI/PLATO FL 1 standards confirm the accuracy of performance attributes such as beam distance, impact resistance, and battery life.

    Style F detect fluid leaks and surface contaminants with their ultraviolet light. The light enhances contrast and makes fluorescing dyes, particles, and chemicals shine brightly.
    Spot Beam—Lights with a spot beam have a bright center for long-distance illumination.
    Flood Beam—Lights with a flood beam are especially good for close-up tasks and inspection work.
    IP54 Enclosure Rating—IP-rated lights withstand liquid splashes from all angles. An IP54 rating means they’re also sealed against dust.

    Spot Beam

    Detect leaks and contamination while keeping both your hands free. These headlamps use UV light to reveal dyes, particles, and chemicals with fluorescent qualities, making cracks and defects easy to spot. Each headlamp also has a regular LED light to see in dim and dark areas. Both bulbs emit a focused, flood light beam that works best for close-up inspections.
    Motion Sensor—Headlamps with a motion sensor switch between brightnesses, beam patterns, and bulb types with a wave of your hand. They’re helpful when your gloves are oily or dirty. You can also press a button to switch between these modes. The additional spot beam pattern has a wide angle to illuminate at a distance.

    Wire-Terminal-Base Miniature Light Bulbs

    Connect these bulbs to a power source through a panel using the wire terminals. They fit into tight spaces in equipment and electronic assemblies. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.
    Ultraviolet LED
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Light Bulbs. Wire-Terminal-Base Miniature Light Bulbs, Ultraviolet LED.
    Ultraviolet LED bulbs are often used to sterilize surfaces, cure adhesives, and detect leaks. Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye.

    Ultraviolet Curing Chambers

    Safely cure light-activated adhesives, coatings, and ink or strengthen 3D-printed resin parts with UV light in these enclosed chambers. Also known as flood curing, they evenly cure your parts. They work just like a microwave. Plug them in, set your time, and they’re ready to cure.
    Formlabs Ultraviolet and LED Chambers with Turntable
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ultraviolet Curing Chambers. Formlabs Ultraviolet and LED Chambers with Turntable.
    Formlabs chambers can be preheated to save you curing time. While they’ll work on any resin 3D-printed parts, if you use them with parts made of Formlabs resins, you can choose preset cure times and temperature settings for consistent results.
    Chambers with a turntable rotate parts under the lights for even exposure while curing. Because these chambers use low-intensity LED bulbs and only operate when the door is closed, additional UV-protective glasses or clothing while using them are not required.
