Optronic Laboratories : Light Measurement Experts

November 24, 2009…There are more than 20 utility and state efficiency programs throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Northwest and California. Each has its own standards for energy efficiency in products such as lighting and solid state lighting. The Design Lights Consortium (DLC) was created in cooperation with the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships and the Lighting Research Center to provide a way for manufacturers to submit their product specifications and have them evaluated among the various state and utility standards around the country. The qualified products are placed on a list that the manufacturers can access. The DLC team reportedly keeps in close contact with the EPA’s Energy Star program to communicate on-going experience and product performance data in support of future Energy Star expansion. “The new DLC Qualified Products List benefits everyone interested in advancing solid state lighting technologies,” said Jon Linn, commercial programs manager at NEEP.  “Manufacturers need only to submit product data once to be considered for more than twenty utility and state efficiency programs throughout the Northeast, Midwest, Northwest and California. Utility program administrators save time not having to review individual manufacturers’ specifications and can be assured that qualified LED fixtures meet energy efficiency, color quality, and projected lifetime requirements.”

Optronic Laboratories has requested that Everfine Photo E-Info (HangZhou, China) cease use of its protected brand name and model number in its online marketing which fraudulently claims that they offer equivalent products. The products being promoted are low performance instruments with lower cost components packaged to look identical to Optronic Laboratories products and other Western competitors and priced at a similar premium rate. Optronic Laboratories urges prospective buyers to closely review the technical specifications and consult third party references before investing in such items.

In addition to its current line of high precision automotive and aircraft lighting test systems, Optronic Laboratories has partnered with a leading supplier of goniophotometric systems to offer customized solutions for the automotive industry. Visit our website or contact us to learn more!

This notice discusses the production release of the Optronic Laboratories OL 46D Current Source for Deuterium Lamps, introduced as of June 11, 2008. The OL 46 D supersedes and obsoletes the OL 45D Current Source for Deuterium Lamps which has been discontinued, effective as of the above date.

A host of important product improvements have been incorporated into the basic concept of the OL 45D to create the OL 46D. While the OL 46D regulation and accuracy specifications are identical to its predecessor, the OL 46D is now CE compliant. It is much lighter at 4 lbs (the OL 45D is 24lbs) and smaller at 249 cubic inches versus 1031 cubic inches for the OL 45D. In addition, its new design is better optimized for the long life high stability Optronic Laboratories (UV-40 Series) deuterium lamps, features a digital lamp-hour meter, a manual lamp trigger switch for restarting if needed, a universal power input and finally the 46D comes with a lamp cable that you can detach from the chassis and is backward compatible with all versions of the OLUV-40, OL 752-12, and 740-20/D-UV deuterium sources.

More details regarding the OL 46D can be found on out website www.olinet.com and on the associated product literature (Bulletin 34 / Rev. 7-08).

Optronic Laboratories, Inc. innovative programmable source, the OL 490 is now available in an NIR version spanning the spectral range from 760 nm - 1,600 nm. As with its visible range counterpart (380 nm - 780 nm), the OL 490-NIR utilizes Digital Light Processor (DLP®) technology from Texas Instruments, and provides an unprecedented level of flexibility and power via high speed programmable spectral illumination.  It produces high resolution spectra via a flexible liquid light guide over the near-infrared wavelength range with under 5nm FWHM bandwidth peaks.  It features high-speed USB interface, and an external lamp port to support a variety of input configurations.  The easy-to-use software controls allow emulation of complex optical filter systems and rapid spectral rates up to 12.5 kHz with modulation rates to 6.25 kHz.
