What illuminators are designed for use with 3M’s light fiber?
The illuminators designed for 3M™ HL High Luminance Light Fiber are similar to a slide projector – but are very specialized. They typically use metal-halide lamps (HID) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Illuminators that work with 3M’s light fiber have a light-condensing mechanism that gathers and directs a large quantity of light into one end of the fiber. This type of illuminator‚ which includes the light-condensing mechanism‚ is designed to ensure long fiber life and safe operation. Using Illuminators not designed for use with 3M’s light fiber should be avoided. Your 3M distributor can provide recommendations based on the application.
Yes High Luminance Fiber used For design designed for 3M™ .For applications requiring brighter light, an ir illuminator with a metal halide (HID) lamp (a type of electric-discharge lamp) is usually specified. Metal-halide lamps may have longer lives, have higher total light flux, and a moderate to high-color temperature.
