QC Much? Get Your Lens Inspection System from Bulbtronics!

2009-09-14T13:10:00.000-07:00

Bulbtronics’ Lens Inspection System uses the high intensity white arc light of a 75 watt xenon bulb to quickly and easily check for striae, bubbles, scratches or imperfections that result from improper “cooking” or “cooling” in molds. Our customers use the system to QC plastic and glass ophthalmic lenses, plate glass, plastic sheet goods, molds and film materials. The high intensity light also makes it easy to locate optical reference points in progressive bifocal and trifocal lenses. Bulbtronics has been selling this unit since 1994 and all of our customers who have purchased it have been very satisfied with it!

The System’s power supply, located in the 2” high base, and the lamp housing, are small, lightweight and compact for easy portability and ideally suited for desktop use. The height and projection direction of the lamp housing is easily adjustable by loosening a knob. While the light is normally projected down onto the base, it can also be turned clockwise 90 degrees to allow horizontal projection onto a vertical screen.

Base Dimensions: 9.5”W x 12"D x 2"W

Lamp Housing Dimensions: 4.5”W x 8”D x 5”H

Vertical Support: 17” H, Adjustable

Weight: 8.2 lbs (net)

Need Gaffer Tape? Bulbtronics Has It!

Two years ago, Shurtape Technologies purchased Permacels Arts and Entertainment Division. Since then, you may have noticed that the Permacel name on the cores and boxes has been replaced by Shurtape A&E. This has caused some confusion to loyal Permacel customers but rest assured that you will still receive the same quality products that you have come to associate with the Permacel® brand in the A&E industry.

Bulbtronics carries a full line of Shurtape (formerly Permacel) gaffer tape. Visit Bulbtronics' website to check out all our gaffer tape products or call 1-800-227-2852.

Get the Facts on LEDs

2009-07-13T12:06:00.000-07:00

,The rapid growth of LEDs has resulted in an increasing number of new products on the market. While these products save energy, last longer, have low heat output, and do not emit harmful UV light, with all the choices it’s often difficult to determine which LED is the right one for your application. To help consumers decide amongst LEDs, Solid-State Lighting Quality Advocates, a program of the U.S. Department of Energy, has developed the Lighting Facts label to encourage manufacturers to simplify information about LED products for consumers.

The Lighting Facts label includes

Light Output/Lumens: Measures light output. The higher the number, the more light is emitted. Reported as “Total Integrated Flux (Lumens)” on LM-79 test report.

Watts: Measures energy required to light the product. The lower the wattage, the less energy used. Reported as “Input Power (Watts)” on LM-79 report.

Lumens per Watt/Efficacy: Measures efficiency. The higher the number, the more efficient the product. Reported as “Efficacy” on LM-79 test report.

Color Rendering Index (CRI): Measures color accuracy. Color rendition is the effect of the lamp's light spectrum on the color appearance of objects.

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Measures light color. “Cool” colors have higher Kelvin temperatures (3600–5500 K); “Warm” colors have lower color temperatures (2700–3500 K).

IESNA LM-79-2008: Industry standardized test procedure that measures performance qualities of LED luminaires and integral lamps. It allows for a true comparison of luminaires regardless of the light source.

If you have any questions or want more information on LEDs and their applications, please contact Bulbtronics’ LED Department at 1-800-654-8542 x438.
