- Full Spectrum Xenon Lamp:
Xenon arc lamps give the ultimate correlation to the full spectrum of natural sunlight including UV, visible light and infrared radiation. Water-cooling makesthem economical, efficient and low maintenance. Lamps last for 2000 hours.
- Optical Filters:
A choice of optical filters is available to simulate a variety of service environments including direct sunlight and sunlight through window glass. Filter performance does not decline with age; therefore, ilters do not need to be replace dunless the glass is broken.
Three categories of optical filters are available to simulate variety of service environments.
-
Daylight Filters
Daylight filters are used to simulate direct sunlight.They provide the best correlation to natural outdoor exposures for most applications. Materials thatare typically used outdoors like roofing or exterior coatings should be tested using daylight filters.
- Window Glass Filters
Window glass filters produce spectra equivalent to sunlight coming through window glass. This spectrum can also simulate other indoor lighting suchas the harsh lighting found in a typical commercial or office environment. Window glass filters are used for indoor materials such as printing materials or textiles
- Extended UV Filters
Extended UV filters allow excess UV, below the normal cut-on of natural sunlight.They are used to produce faster or more severe test results. Extended UV filters arespecified in some automotive test methods and are sometimes used for aerospace applications
- Precision Temperature Control through Black Panel
All Q-Sun models control specimen temperature with a Black Panel ora Black Standard sensor.
