Glenside, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/08/2015 -- The Solar Light Company is a leading manufacturer of light measurement systems, atmospheric monitoring equipment, light sources and other OEM products intended for solar radiation research. Right now, they are announcing their availability to produce new research quality solar simulators and UV sensors for organizations looking to research products that block or screen ultraviolet (UV) solar radiation.
Founded in 1967, the Solar Light Company has worked to be innovators in the fields of accelerated UV testing and light source spectral measurement. Using their expertise in physics and broad knowledge of optics and engineering, they have grown their client family to over 15,000 worldwide. Some of their clientele include prestigious organizations like the Naval Research Laboratory, the 3M Corporation, Proctor & Gamble and the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energy.
Consumers worldwide rely on products intended to block or screen out UV radiation, especially UV-B radiation, which is known to cause sunburns, and even skin cancer in some individuals. This includes sunscreens, medications, lotions, ointments and even fabrics. The company conducts testing on a variety of fabrics to ensure they provide a sufficient ultraviolet protection factor. This is true for clothing as well as materials used in awnings, curtains and other things intended to block out sunlight and UV rays.
Solar simulators from Solar Light make it possible for researchers in laboratories to use light that very closely resembles that of the sun, in order to quantify a product's ability to screen out UV rays. UV sensors can be used to detect the UV rays being emitted by a solar simulator, as well as to detect the UV rays present after the screening or blocking process, to quantify how effective a product is at screening out the sun's harmful rays. Using solar simulators and UV sensors does not eliminate the need for living samples and test subjects, but it is still an instrumental and essential part of the research and development process.
Individuals interested in new solar simulators, UV sensors or any of the other products the Solar Light Company develops for solar researchers, contact them immediately for a consultation. The company is located in Glenside, Pennsylvania, and is available to serve potential clientele worldwide. Reach them by phone at 215-517-8700, or fill out a contact form directly on their website.
