Sciencetech's XE-LUM Luminaire is a low cost solution for researchers requiring large areas of illumination with good spectral matching but do not require high levels of spatial uniformity. The XE-LUM includes a 1.6 kW Xenon arc lamp and efficient collection reflectors. At a working distance of 50cm an irradiance of 1 Sun AM1.5G sun level can be achieved with an illumination area of 50x50cm. The area of illumination is up to 1.0 m x 1.0 m with a working distance of 1 meter.
The XE-LUM can achieve better uniformity when paired with multiple units in an array to flood the illumination plane.

The stand is an accessory that is sold separately. The XE-LUM can be arranged for vertical or horizontal illumination. In either configuration, the Luminaire can be rotated through 360 degrees in both sagittal and tangential planes.

Electrical Requirements: 200 to 240 VAC, 12.1 to 9.0 A.
