ELSV-60 Light Source Warning and Precautions DIRECT VIEWING OF EXITING LIGHT CAN BE HARMFUL! The light at the front of the light source and at the tip of a connected fiber-optic bundle is of high intensity and can result in very high temperatures. To minimize the risk of injury, avoid direct viewing of the light or contact with surrounding surfaces. Light includes UV wavelengths which may cause skin or eye irritation from direct exposures exceeding 15 min./day.

ELSV-60 Light Source System Description The ELSV-60 Hi-Lux Light Source provides high quality, white light for industrial borescope and fiberscope inspections. It incorporates a patented and field-proven lamp technology that has much greater efficiency than halogen or xenon lamps when transferring light into a small fiber bundle, such as that found in borescopes and fiberscopes. This greater efficiency allows the lamp to run at only 60W, which then enables a small and lightweight light source design.
