LUMOS FL: High-Powered UV-BG Fluorescence LED Lamp
- Features apochromatic design
- Compared to the lifespan of only 200 hours and the high cost of mercury-arc lamps, the LUMOS FL provides over 20,000 hours of use
- No light toxicity like traditional mercury-arc lamps which can damage samples with infrared light heat toxicity
- Instant On/Off: Unlike traditional mercury-arc lamps which take up to 20 minutes to reach optimal brightness levels when turned on, the LUMOS FL is ready for use at the flip of a switch
- Dose not pose toxic gas danger to users
- Avoids stray light interference during observation, helping to avoid errors in user interpretation of images
- Individually controls each LED channel and eliminates need for multiple filters therefore reducing filter cube expense
- Features a broad spectrum spread which can satisfy multiple user applications
