Glenside, PA -- (SBWire) -- 10/27/2016 --Solar Light Company, a leading international supplier of light sensors and meters, as well as many other products, is pleased to announce that they have expanded their Accelerated UV Exposure Testing services to include UVC wavelengths. Customers who take advantage of this new service must first let the company know about their application and light source for them to design the proper test protocol. Furthermore, they must know what the UVC energy intensity is at a particular distance away from the light source in the typical application.

UVC energy is most commonly used for disinfection applications in air and water, and its wavelength sources are typically 253.7nm. Once the company's technicians match the source, they will calculate the total dosage required for the degradation period the customer is interested in and then conduct the test.

Other things their technicians can do is provide reflectance, colorimetry, and transmission measurements to quantify the degradation results so that the customer can work to improve their products using quantitative data based on test protocols that can be re-run and will provide repeatable results. To learn more about this new testing service and a concrete example of the type of information they need to perform a test, please call them at 215-517-8700, or email info@solarlight.com.

Solar Light Company would like to remind customers that they are offering the Solarmeter® brand Model 6.2 UV Meter, a UV meter that is perfect for reptile applications. Not only does this device boast an LCD readout and integral sensor, but it's compact, durable, and best of all, offers nothing but the most accurate readings. Last, but not least, the Model 6.2 UV Meter can also be used for the following applications: eyewear UV block comparison and lamp UVB intensity and aging.
