 LED Flashlights
LED Flashlights of quality are composed of potted circuitry and one of several types of LEDs. LEDs are basically bits of plastic coated with phospor. LEDs get their color from the type of phosphor and the manner of application. LED flashlights feature standard leds which run at sub-watt levels and Luxeon and CREE LEDs which are offered in multi-watt versions. LED flashlights come in many wattage versions, including 1 watt LED flashlights, 3 watt LED flashlights and 5 watt LED flashlights. Until recently, LED flashlights were only effective as a close range flood light, but they have much longer battery life than their incandescent counterparts. Obviously, battery life falls as the the watts increase. The design of the circuitry and the quality of the reflector effect projected light of any LED flashlight. New implementations of the LED, like the RUL-10 have stunning, tight, long beams that represent a whole new paradigm in the development of the LED flashlight and LED lights. In fact the RUL-10 is the first LED light that puts out a 500 foot spot (pencil) beam.
Pros of LED flashlights - unbreakable bulb, long battery life, lightweight, simple design, durable

Efficiency and Long Life only Part of LED Lighting Benefits
Since LEDs are so small, yet produce so many lumens per watt, they can be installed into a huge variety of fixtures that would be impractical for a normal incandescent bulb. They can be set up in clusters as a replacement for incandescent bulbs, arrayed in strips, mounted in rows as is common with LED light bars for boats, and even mounted singly in tiny fixtures for specialty applications. This compact size and versatile installation capability makes LEDs ideal for recessed and hidden lighting, [...] |

Ultraviolet Light, NDT, and Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection
Fluorescent penetrant inspection is much the same, however, due to the fluorescent properties of the liquid dye’s that are used, special lighting in the ultraviolet or (black light) end of the light spectrum is required to produce maximum flaw visibility. Fluorescent penetrant inspection is often preferred over visible penetrant inspection because it provides a higher degree of detection sensitivity. Not only does the penetrant “mark” the area of imperfection, it radiates light when exposed to u [...] |
