FLIR Systems has published an application spotlight that describes how incorporating a borescope and Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera into routine maintenance protocols can help natural gas companies improve safety, reduce costs, and extend the life of compressors.

Goodlight has unveiled a brand-new range of Plug and Play LED T5 and T8 Tubes. Existing fluorescent tubes can now be upgraded instantly to long lasting, energy efficient LED lighting with Goodlight InstaFit Plug and Play LED Tubes that slot straight into existing fittings without rewiring or the need to remove the ballast.

Pfannenberg has announced the PMF LED-Hi LED multifunction light, well suited for both indoor and outdoor use in industrial environments, including automotive, plant construction and logistics, open-cast mining, heavy industry, and maritime applications.

The research project OpenLicht was launched in September 2016 and stands for the design of smart, customized light solutions based on open source and new materials. OpenLicht was funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), with the goal of enabling new forms of collaboration between science, business, maker and startup community.

Optical Surfaces offers a range of high precision mounts developed to support off-axis paraboloids, spheres and optical flats up to 600mm diameter in applications where stability is important. Constructed in black anodized aluminium – four models of OS Mounts provide a secure and stable platform for mirror diameters from 100 to 254mm.

n Germany, a supermarket chain owner is experimenting with new LED technologies that move beyond straightforward product illumination. An EDEKA store installed lights using ground-breaking Vitasolis LEDs from NICHIA. Vitasolis offers a colour spectrum that recreates the effect of natural light on people.

The SUR series of silicon avalance photodiodes from LASER COMPONENTs are based on a reach through structure with high sensitivity in the DUV/UV wavelength range. Many applications particularly in the medical and biomedical fields require highly sensitive detectors at these short wavelengths for fluorescence measurements.

The ETBH50 & ETBV50 Series of Screw-less 5mm Pitch 10A Terminal Blocks from Excel Cell Electronics are available at New Yorker Electronics.

Deep UVC G-LED arrays from Bolb are helping to combat the coronavirus epidemic in the Chinese metropolis of Wuhan. Emitter arrays with a power output of between 1.2 W and 2.5 W emit strongly disinfecting UVC light that kills not only antibiotic-resistant germs such as MRSA but also dangerous viruses such as the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).

EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS has released its new ELUC3535NUB series of UVC products for the maintenance of life quality and health, using the epitaxial and flip chips on the sapphire substrate to guarantee quality and sterilisation.
