AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini Halogen Light Source
Product information "AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini Halogen Light Source"
Halogen; 360-2500 nm; Stability <0.1%/°C; Colour Temperature 2,700-3,000 K; Optical Power 0.5-14 mW; Power Supply 12 VDC, 2.08 A
From visible light to near infrared, that’s where Avantes’ AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini halogen light source works best. It’s a compact, stabilized halogen light source with adjustable focusing of the fiber connection, maximizing output power at the desired wavelength. The light source also has adjustable output power to provide extra power or longer bulb life.
A filter-slot mounted on the front of the AvaLight-HAL-Mini accepts 1” round or 2” x 2” square filters, to block specific ranges of wavelengths or instantly lower the intensity. The adjustable focus on the AvaLight-HAL-Mini helps you getting the most out of your light source: it makes sure all possible power is transmitted through your optical fiber. Bulb replacement is easy and can be done in a matter of minutes.
The lamp’s optical output can be controlled through a dongle at the rear or from your computer. At low setting, the lamp has a colour temperature of 2,700 K but provides over 13,000 hours of lifetime. The standard or medium setting changes the colour temperature to 2,850 K and provides 50% more power with a bulb lifetime of 4,000 hours. The high-power setting gives a colour temperature of 3,000 K, doubles power compared to the long-life setting and gives you up to 1,000 hours of lifetime.
The AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini features an internal TTL-shutter, controllable from your AvaSpec spectrometer. This gives you the ability to use the auto-save dark option in AvaSoft spectroscopy software. Optionally a combined direct-attach cuvette holder and attenuator is available(CUV-ATT-DA-HAL). for attenuation one can use the Inline Filter Holder (FH-INL) or the Inline attenuator (ATT-INL).
