More Product Information

- Spin mode is a dynamic mode intended to provide a simulation of a spinning satellite.
- Enhanced Eclipse mode is a dynamic mode that allows the user to easily program and initiate an eclipse event with total control over all of the V-I curve parameters and dwell times.
- Operates with Sequential Shunt Regulators and Maximum Power Point Trackers
- Multiple redundant OVP/OIP layers

- The RL36120 is characterized as a Large Aimed Bright Field ring light.
- Precisely aimed LEDs provide a level of lighting control not found in traditional illuminators.
- A range of standoffs and fields of view may be specified at the time of order.
- The ring light is available in a wide range of wavelengths from UV to IR, including a 3 channel RGB version. Diffuser and polarizer options are also available.
- The large inner diameter of the ring light can accommodate lenses up to 55mm in diameter.
- The light can also be ordered with an optional mounting ring.
