The NEWEST standard stocked fiber optic light source offering from FTI is LO-35, a family of high power (9amp and 22amp) white LED fiber optic illuminator modules, featuring an optical coupler which collects, transmits and transfers more than three times more visible light than a 150W quartz halogen EKE lamp.
The LO-35 fiber optic illuminator family replaces LO-100. This fiber optic illuminator family has more features and power than it’s predecessor and costs less. Light guide sizes ranging from less than 1mm to 18mm will work with this light source family, which as been certified under CE and ETL for portable luminaires. Options include a communication package, featuring RS485 and/or Ethernet connectivity for wireless remote control of chip-on-time, intensity including overdrive, and pulsing as fast as as 10Ms..
Our original 5mm medical unit (LO-50) has been recognized by the FDA via 510K, ETL and CE guidelines for ENT medical applications. The LO-50 model offers two configurations; a 4 port turret for the most popular medical light guide designs, and a single port configuration. In the single port version, the LO-50 optical coupler can be optimized for light guide sizes up to 12mm; the larger area coupler increases total power output, which will exceed 3x the power of a Quartz Halogen illuminator when measured at the end of a large active diameter light guide.
Fiber Optic Illuminators for OEM Applications
For OEM applications, where a full featured, stand alone unit is not required, FTI offers a light engine module. Just like our fiber optic light source offering, the light engine module can be used as a standard design, modified from standard, or completely custom built to your specification.
The operating life of the LED in any of the configurations is 50000 hrs. The standard color temperature is 6500K.
Our line of small, compact LED fiber optic lighting Light sources for commercial applications, feature a bright, reliable design for residential, commercial, general industrial and life science fiber optic lighting applications. Most of these units can be controlled by DMX, RF or IR to manage brightness, pulsing, color selection and color scheme shifting. Click on a link below to see more information on the specified unit:
