Rofin Australia Pty Ltd has been producing Forensic Light Sources for well over 20 years, and now has thousands of users. Already over fifty countries have experienced the reality of using a Polilight® in their daily investigations. Following the reputation of reliability and performance associated with the name Polilight®, we are proud to offer the Polilight forensic light sources.

This is the most powerful and advanced Polilieht raleased to date. Building on the successful PL500 series of forensic light sources, Rofin Australia has improved and added new features to make this undeniably the most desirable light source yet. Improvements has been made in all aspects of the alternate light source. A new user interface had been designed for intuitive and direct control of all the main functions using 3 dials.
 
A boost mode is available for short periods of time for when extra power is needed. The new variable speed fans are now computer controlled to rotate at optimum speeds. This means a more quiet and pleasant work environment for the forensic investigator. Three memory buttons are available to store your favourite settings and recall them automatically.
 
Direct control of all essential functions
 
A completely new user interface is introduced in the new PL550XL. All controls are easily accessible through 3 rotary dials. The main dial is used to select the wavelength which can be used to step through the bands or rotated to jump from one band to another.
Two smaller dials allow power and tuning setting to be selected. All three parameters can be read on large LED displays.
 
New wave lengths
 
The PL550XL comes standard with 13 bands including the new Rupul Band for the enhancement of Ruhemann's purple coloured nindydrin prints.
 
Product features:
 
• Higher output, a new boost mode for increased output
• Direct control of all essential functions
• Intelligent fan speed controller; cooler lamp and less noise
• Easily accessible power standby button and 3 user programmable pre-set buttons
• Built in mounting point for light guide holder
• Improved power supply for longer lamp life
• 13 band widths of light including a Rupul filter for ninhydrin developed prints

The Polilight PL500 is a high-intensity light source based on a 500 Watt xenon arc lamp. This type of lamp delivers UV, visible, and infrared light. A special characteristic of the light output in the visible region is that the intensity of light is the same in the whole spectrum, just like sun light. This is in contrast with halogen lamps that deliver progressively more light, going from blue (low wavelength) to red (high wavelength).
 
Apart from white light, the Polilight PL500 has 12 selectable wavebands (from UV to red light). With filter tuning, any narrow band of light (with width of about 40 nm) in the visible spectrum can be selected.
 
The waveband is selected either by using the buttons on the front panel, or stepwise with the remote control (2 m-long cable). The filter selection and fine tuning are operated internally by stepper motors. The remote control is attached to the unit through a RS232 port.
 
This port can also be used for operating the PL500 from a computer (using optionally available software). Also available is a security code option that uses the filter selection buttons. This option will prevent unauthorized persons from switching on the instrument.
 
With the remote control or the buttons on the front panel, the light power can also be tuned (8 settings, from about 15 to 100% in equal increments).
 
Product features:
 
• Designed for easy portability
• Output of 12 band widths of light in UV and visible range using a single liquid light guide
• Optional IR output
• Intelligent unit power supply for all world locations
• Microprocessor-controlled push button filter selection
• Filter tuning and output power tuning
• Option for computer control of all operations
• Easy to use
 
 

The Polilight Flare Plus2 hand held light sources are battery operated and are available with band widths from UV up to infrared. The 7 LEDs in each light sources emit a high intensity light which can be adjusted in 5 steps.
 
The weight of the light source including the lithium ion battery is only 700 grams. It fits neatly into the hand and allows the thumb to control the multi-function Reed switch collar. The Reed switch controls on/off, intensity of the output in 5 steps, strobing and safety locking (aircraft mode).
 
The unit is coated with a fluoro-polymer material which makes it easy to clean. There are no mechanical parts like cooling fans in the light source and the units are watertight, white version can even be submersed up to 100 meter.
 
Polilight-Flare Plus2 outputs are as follows (bands to the half peak band width level):
UV 365 (360-385 nm)
Purple 415 (405-420 nm)
Blue 450 (435-465 nm)
Cyan 505 (485-515 nm)
Green 530 (510-545 nm)
Green/Yellow 545 (530-560 nm)
Red 620 (615-635 nm)
White (400-700 nm)
lnfra red 850 (835-865 nm)
