Schott KL 1600 LED light source for fiber optics

The KL 1600 LED is an innovative fiber optic light source which uses cold light to illuminate all types of objects in industrial and life science applications.

SCHOTT has developed and designed a multiple LED driven light source to provide an attractive alternative to conventional halogen cold light sources. The brightness is equivalent to a 150-watt halogen lamp and therefore ideal as a powerful illumination system for the requirements of all modern stereo microscopes.

Due to its slim design, the KL 1600 LED can be placed close to microscope stand or pillar. The dimming control is than ergonomically placed to the microscope. As the chosen LEDs have a long lifetime of at least 50,000 hours it is maintenance free for the user and avoids service and downtime costs. The ripple free illumination is perfect for digital imaging applications and the color temperature of 5,600 K of the emitted neutral white light does not change when the light source is dimmend.

The KL 1600 LED combines all advantages of LED light with illumination through fiber optics: All different types of light guides of the KL 1500 series can be connected to the KL 1600 LED. This allows the full flexibility to realize all common illumination techniques. Like all KL light sources the KL 1600 LED is designed for a wide range of power supply (100-240 V; 50-60 Hz). It has been approved and certified as laboratory equipment and is in compliance with the CE regulations.
