EigenliteTM RS-5H High Power Spectrally Programmable Light Source – Advantages Over Traditional Tungsten Light Sources 20x longer light-source lifetime compared to tungsten sources. Various RS-5 LED light sources that are installed for Sensor testing have operated for over 2 years without replacement of LEDs. Since 2001, less than 1% of RS-5 Light Source have had LED failures. Some RS-5 have been in continuous operation on Production lines for over 2 years. 2. Compared to tungsten light sources, the RS-5H is much easier to align. Uniformity alignment is self contained in the RS-5H. Each time the RS-5H is removed for periodic checking, re-installation on a tester takes only a few minutes.

EigenliteTM RS-5H High Power Spectrally Programmable Light Source – Advantages Over Traditional Tungsten Light Sources A Tungsten light source exhibits drift over its lifetime. As such periodic maintenance and calibration is required. The RS-5 LED light sources exhibit 10x more stability. This reduces production downtime and also reduces the cost of periodic maintenance. The RS-5H is programmable and tunable to unlimited types of Spectrums, Color Temperature and Power levels – Tungsten light source systems are limited to available filters. LED based light sources are smaller in size and produce less heat.
