Violet Light LED Leak Detection Flashlight Makes All Industrial Fluid Leaks Glow Brightly

Spectronics Coporation’s (USA) OPTIMAX 400 is an economical, violet light LED leak detection flashlight. It emits less visible light so industrial fluid leaks are easier to spot, saving technicians valuable diagnostic time and effort!

The OPTIMAX 400 features a high-output LED that causes fluorescent dyes to glow more brilliantly and with greater contrast than conventional lamps. The flashlight’s pre-focused beam optimises fluorescent response without any adjustments needed. With power comparable to high-intensity 150-watt lamps, it works well with Spectroline OIL-GLO 33 (green), OIL-GLO 44 (yellow/green) and OIL-GLO 50 (red) oil-based dyes, as well as WATER-GLO 802 (green) water dye.

The OPTIMAX 400 is engineered with “instant-on” operation. Its cordless, compact design allows it to get into tight, cramped areas larger lamps can’t. A rugged, corrosion-resistant, anodised lamp body stands up to years of heavy use. Powered by standard AAA batteries (included), this unit features an LED with a 100,000-hour service life.

The flashlight comes with a lanyard, belt holster and fluorescence-enhancing glasses, all packaged in a full-colour hanging clamshell.
