SCHOTT KL 1500 HAL Halogen Fiber-Optic Light Source 150.700

The SCHOTT KL 1500 HAL (150.700) is a halogen fiber-optic light source engineered for high-fidelity illumination in life science, industrial, and biotechnology research environments. Featuring a full 150-watt halogen spectrum with a CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 100, it delivers color-accurate, ripple-free light output essential for molecular diagnostics, fluorescence analysis, and precision microscopy applications.

Key technical specifications include:

• Internal broad-range power supply (100–240 V, 50–60 Hz) ensuring versatile laboratory compatibility.
• High-frequency illumination at 20 kHz, verified as digital camera proof, making it ideal for _digital imaging_ and live-cell imaging workflows.
• Continuous dimming control (0–100%) allowing precise adjustment of light intensity to optimize contrast and minimize photobleaching in bioprocessing and cell imaging studies.
• Swing-in optics for light homogenization ensure uniform, high-intensity illumination even with small-diameter fiber light guides, critical in synthetic biology and gene editing research setups.
• Ultra-low noise fan and optimized airflow promote stable, quiet operation conducive for sensitive laboratory environments.
• Flexible fiber optic connectivity compatible with all KL series light guides, supporting a wide range of standard illumination techniques required in biotechnology and biomedical engineering.
• Filter slider with dual positions enables convenient filter use/removal without disturbing the light source, enhancing spectral control during fluorescence analysis or molecular cloning experiments.
• Ergonomic design with integrated handle and side-opening lamp housing facilitates easy lamp replacement and transport, reducing downtime in critical biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Certified for laboratory use and compliant with CE regulations, the KL 1500 HAL supports reproducible results across demanding applications such as live-cell imaging, fluorescence microscopy, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology research.
