This voltage information is very important! You must have the proper voltage or the SoLux lamps will not perform to their optimal performance. By using our "True 12 Volt Fixture" you insure proper performance. The "True 12 Volt Fixture" is custom made for Mine Design and is UL approved. With 120VAC input you will see 12 volts under load with this fixture. Remember that not all 120/12 volt fixtures are created equal.
With SoLux™ you won't "cook it or bleach it out," you'll just make it look great!
SoLux™ is ideal for safely illuminating just about anything with color...
- Jewelry - Colored Gemstones - Diamonds - Minerals - Works of Art - Graphics - Photography -
- Textiles - Paint - Color Images - Task Lighting - Color Matching - Store Lighting - Displays -
SoLux™ has three distinguishing characteristics that make it superior to other lamps
SoLux's spectral power distribution is smooth, continuous, and full and therefore it
provides the user with light that very closely matches daylight across the visible
spectrum. This makes it ideal for showing the true color of anything and for highlighting
things in a room that has fluorescent background lighting.
U.V. Reduction
SoLux™ has been engineered so that UV light is greatly reduced. The combined
UVA and UVB output from SoLux™ is an extremely low 8.3 microwatts/lumen.
This makes SoLux perfect for illuminating optically sensitive fabrics and pigments.
I.R. Reduction
Compared to a standard tungsten-halogen lamp, the spot provided by SoLux™ has an
82% reduction in the IR portion of the spectrum.
Beam Uniformity
The intensity pattern of the spot provided by SoLux™ is very uniform and even and does
not exhibit the 'splotchy' or spiky intensity patterns found in many incandescent
reflectors lamps and MR16s. Uneven illumination is visually distracting and cheapens
whatever is being viewed.
