L.J. Star has launched a new luminaire for use with individual light ports and sight glasses or sight/light port combinations. The Lumiglas Lumiflex USL08 LF-Ex Fiber Optic Ex-Light is useful in illuminating the internals of pipes and vessels to monitor pharmaceutical and industrial processes via sight glasses.
The USL08 LF-Ex features a halogen lamp, delivers a light output of 1,950 lux, utilizes minimal power of 22%, and has an operating life of about 6000 h. The parabolic reflector attached with the luminaire focuses the light effectively via a fiber-optic light guide.
The fiber-optic light offers excellent visual clarity of the industrial processes and needs minimum space on piping and monitored vessels. The infrared filter fitted in between the fiber-optic bundle and the bulb delivers a cool light output. This feature is essential for operator safety and for heat sensitive processes.
The USL08 LF- Ex-Light’s fiber-optic cable measures 17 mm in diameter, allowing operators to view and illuminate processes via the same sight glass. Increased bulb life decreases maintenance costs and reduces the occurrence of lost lighting during important processes.
