The Polilight®Flare is a powerful, cordless, battery powered, lightweight light source using an LED array for production of narrow band pure light for forensic examination.
The great advantage of LED technology is its ability to produce high intensity pure bands of light and to have a useful life of in excess of 50,000 hours.
The Polilight®Flare produces continuous output in models with centre wavelengths of 380, 410, 440, 470, 505, 530 nm and white light. The different outputs are used in a wide variety of applications to enhance visualization of trace evidence.
The Polilight®Flare has a sleek design to enable it to fit snugly into the carry/protection pouch, or even your top pocket to make it highly portable. The design allows for easy cleaning of the light source after use at the crime scene or in the laboratory to avoid contamination.
Polilight®Flare uses the most powerful LEDs available today. The LED is able to produce a collimated beam with typical 1400 mWatts of optical power, and the sophisticated optics incorporate a cut-off filter to remove the bandpass tail of the output. Collimating optics results in a crisp output spot with even intensity for best evidence contrast.
Each Polilight®Flare incorporates rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries which give 2 hours of strong continuous use at full power (Polilight®Flare still puts out light after 4 hours continuous use).
The "smart" bench top recharger is microprocessor controlled to ensure efficient and safe charging of the batteries, preventing overcharge. A display indicates the charging progress and a unique power sensor allows Polilight®Flare light output power sensing using a scale of 5 illuminators.
