KL 1500 Compact: the high-performance cold light source for precision applications
The KL 1500 Compact from SCHOTT embodies the perfect combination of light output, safety and compact design. Specially designed to meet the requirements of laboratories, industrial environments and scientific applications, it provides powerful lighting without direct heat emission on the objects being observed. Thanks to its cold light source technology and its architecture designed for maximum efficiency, it is an indispensable tool in the fields of microscopy, macro observation, quality control and life sciences research.
This model uses a 150 W halogen reflector lamp combined with a high-performance heat filter to eliminate most infrared radiation. The visible light produced is then transmitted via flexible or rigid light guides, ensuring uniform and precise light intensity over the area to be illuminated. This system guarantees the protection of heat-sensitive samples while offering excellent user comfort. Whether for the analysis of sensitive materials or prolonged observation under a microscope, the KL 1500 Compact ensures continuous reliability without compromising optical quality.
The KL 1500 Compact also stands out for its ease of use and high robustness. Its electronic dimmer allows continuous adjustment ofthe light intensity, distributed over 6 levels. The integrated soft start significantly extends the lamp life while preventing harmful current peaks in the electronics. Efficient and quiet ventilation ensures that the operating temperature is maintained at an optimum level, further enhancing the system's durability. The user benefits from a stable, durable device that is perfectly suited for intensive use.
Designed to fit easily into any workspace, the KL 1500 Compact features a compact design with an integrated carrying handle, excellent stability thanks to an internal ballast, and standard connectors compatible with a wide range of SCHOTT accessories. The filter drawer can accommodate various optical filters, making it easy to adapt to specific applications such as fluorescence, phase contrast or environments requiring an adjusted colour temperature. Its sturdy, well-ventilated structure allows it to be used both on a bench top and as a mobile station.
The KL 1500 Compact is CE and CSA certified, ensuring compliance with the most stringent safety and performance standards. It is manufactured in Europe by SCHOTT, a world-renowned expert in optics, technical materials and precision lighting solutions. Thanks to its modularity, high-quality construction and constant light intensity, this cold light source is a reliable, versatile and durable investment for all professionals who value visual performance and thermal safety.
