Lambda HPX-15 LED Fluorescent Illuminators
The Lambda HPX-L5 LED from Sutter Instrument is a high-power, air-cooled LED light source optimised for use with liquid light guides. Based on a 90 W LED (3 mm), it generates a luminous flux equivalent to a 150 W xenon arc lamp via a 5 mm light guide. Intensity regulation is by PWM at 28 kHz or current control, with ultra-fast integrated shutter (10 µs). It retains ≥95% of its power at 5,000 h, and ≥80% at 10,000 h.
