NM01L122
The Labino L-122 Handheld UV-A LED Light, MB 3.0 ZEUS - Battery Unit with Athena is a top-tier, portable UV-A inspection lamp designed for the most demanding non-destructive testing (NDT) applications, such as magnetic particle inspection (MPI) and liquid penetrant inspection (LPI). This "ZEUS" model is distinguished by its extreme UV-A intensity and broad, homogenous beam, while "Athena" likely refers to its integrated high-intensity white light, offering dual functionality in a single, battery-powered unit.
As a Battery Unit, the L-122 Zeus provides complete cordless freedom, making it ideal for field inspections, confined spaces, and remote locations where mains power is unavailable. It is powered by a high-capacity, rechargeable battery (often a Li-ion pack) that provides a significant operational time.
The MB 3.0 series, including the Zeus, is characterized by its high-quality UV-A LEDs with a peak wavelength of 365 nm, which is optimal for activating fluorescent penetrants and magnetic particles. A crucial technical feature is the incorporation of white light block filters that do not suffer from solarization, ensuring consistent UV output and blocking unwanted visible light to maintain maximum contrast for fluorescent indications. The Zeus model is known for delivering exceptionally high UV-A intensity (often exceeding 10,000 µW/cm² at 38 cm/15 inches), significantly enhancing the visibility of even faint indications.
The integrated Athena white light provides powerful white illumination for post-inspection visual assessment or for navigating dark inspection areas, eliminating the need for a separate white light source.
The L-122 Zeus is built for extreme durability, typically boasting an IP68 ingress protection rating, making it highly resistant to dust and water, and also penetrant resistant. This robust construction ensures long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments. The estimated LED life is impressively long, often quoted at 30,000 hours, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs. The unit is designed to produce a large, homogenous UV-A beam spot, typically around 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) in diameter at 15 inches, ensuring efficient coverage.
This lamp is stringently tested to comply with major NDT standards, including ASTM E3022 and ISO 3059, as well as specific requirements from primes like Airbus AITM6-1001 and Pratt & Whitney, making it a preferred choice for critical applications in aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, defense, and general industrial maintenance.
