As a company that excels at accurate ultraviolet radiation testing and providing their clientele with the most technologically advanced equipment, Solar Light Company has a number of data loggers, light meters, and safety radiometers available for their clients. Radiometers reliably measure ultraviolet, visible and infrared levels of the electromagnetic spectrum. Users can measure up to a 2800 nanometer wavelength for accurate testing results. Solar Light Company is pleased to announce the PMA2200 single input radiometer for their clients.

For those professionals working in observatories and weather stations trying to measure ultraviolet radiation, the Solar Light Company is pleased to announce they are now offering the model 501 range of radiometers with solar sensors to their valued clients. The Model 501 Radiometers are designed to be permanent outdoor instruments and are able to accurately measure UVA or UVB radiation, both outdoors and underwater to depth of up to five meters (15 feet) with wavelengths above 280 nanometers.

As a company that offers testing services with technologically advanced products, the Solar Light Company is proud to offer the PMA2100, a data logging radiometer, to their valued clients. Radiometers are used to measure all aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum, most commonly in the UV, Visible and IR regions from 200 to 2000 nm wavelength. The PMA2100 is a portable hand-held device that comes equipped with a USB cable, battery charger, and PC hookup capability. After reading the algorithms and logging the data that the machine receives, customers can download the data onto a PC to better analyze what they are seeing.

The Solar Light Company is excited to announce they will be exhibiting radiometers and simulators during the 2013 Sunscreen Symposium at the Walt Disney World Swan in Orlando, FL during the weekend of September 19. This event will give attendees of the symposium an up close look at some of the high-tech, advancing scientific products that make Solar Light Company a leading company in the light testing industry. Radiometers operate as a UV meter and use intelligent data processing in order to measure different kinds of light—such as UVA, IR, UVC and Visible light—without having to change the meter. The simulators that will be on display are able to expose various samples such as textiles, papers, plastics and paints, as well as human skin for testing SPF values of sunscreen products, to the spectrum of natural sunlight, by using sophisticated optics and filters to give the closest simulation of natural sunlight by a light source.

In recent developments at Solar Light Company, they have created a Photostability Monitoring Package that enables accurate control and data acquisition for short and long-term studies. The studies are required by the FDA that all drug substances in the United States go through controlling and data acquisition. The photometer uses a system that has a patented intelligent sensor platform with the ability to interface with any computer, laptop, or tablet to monitor the exposure of the samples that are being tested within its required limits. They are proud to be offering the new photostability monitoring package to test pharmaceuticals and other chemicals for their shelf life.

Being that Solar Light Company is committed to researching new products for their consumers, they have recently attended the International Sunscreen Symposium in London, UK. Here at the symposium event they covered a wide range of topics such as new formulations for cosmetics and toiletries that claim to offer protection against the sun’s UV radiation. The International Sunscreen Symposium also touched on the new legislation from the United States of America and the rest of the world to ensure that the proper testing is carried out in order to verify the products being sold are capable of providing the protection they claim.

Solar Light Company produces a wide range of high quality solar simulators for both industrial and research applications. The size and output vary depending on the application, which may be used in small entry-level models that carry out fade testing and sunscreen testing. The output may be a concentrated UV spectrum based on natural sunlight to large aperture 1000-watt models, delivering a class “AAA” full solar spectrum. They use this for qualifying solar cell performance characteristics in the photovoltaic research arena. They have managed throughout the years to utilize new simulator developments in order to meet the new modern day challenges that come along with research. For over 46 years, Solar Light Company has been producing simulators, and has built up a considerable knowledge and experience base that can now be utilized in the development of new models for modern day research.

At the 2013 PITTCON event that was held March 18 through the 21st at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, Solar Light Company was highly successful at this exhibit. With over 18,000 domestic and overseas scientists and technologists attending the academic program and exhibition, it was the first time this major International Conference has been held in Philadelphia. With that being said, it gave Solar Light the ability to showcase their products to both the local scientific market and the entire world in one location.

Recently, The Solar Light Company attended the Photonics West Conference and Exhibition in San Francisco, CA. This was one of the largest gatherings of photonics scientists in the world, and one of the high profile topics of conversation was solar simulation. The Solar Light Company manufactures a range of solar simulators for a variety of applications, including Solar Cell research, development and testing, Cosmetic testing of products claiming UV protection and Materials testing to determine the effects of long term exposure to the sun’s influences in terms of color fastness, brittleness and physical changes to the materials.

There have been some recent changes to the Multiport® SPF Tester, which is a UV Solar Simulator. The professionals from Solar Light are proud to announce the new improvements that are now available to the Multiport® 601. This turnkey system is used for SPF testing and carries a full one year warranty, however there are extended plans available. The solar simulator has six different outputs that can produce a choice of UVA and UVA+UVB spectra.
