Many of our optical tooling instruments are capable of performing alignment functions such as autoreflection, collimation, autocollimation, colineation, and reticle projection.  However, a light source is required to illuminate the reticle in all of these procedures.

The model 508 universal light source fits our various instruments and accessories to provide reticle illumination for these alignment functions.  Cool-source lighting is provided by a white LED lamp having a 30-degree uniform diffusion (nearing fiberoptic quality) and a 15,000+ hour life.

The 508 kit comes standard with a convenient battery-powered DC power supply that allows easy use in the field where access to AC power is difficult.  The DC version uses common dry cell batteries that provide approximately 12 hours of illumination.  A lightweight multi-voltage (110-220VAC) transformer may be used when AC power is available.  For non-U.S. applications, please use plug adapter kit 15287.

Included Components:
Qty Description
1 LED light source with 3/8" compression fitting
1 Adapter collar
1 Multi-voltage (110 or 220VAC) transformer with 6 foot cord and in-line switch
1 DC battery pack with 2 foot cord and in-line switch, batteries included
1 Magnetic clip (holds battery pack)

Note: This light source was designed to fit most current and older models requiring illumination.  It replaces the 500, 501, 502, and 5511 light sources (For complete compatibility information, please see "May be used with" section below). Contact us to inquire about adapters for instruments which require a specialized light housing.
