Focused On Your Goals Which Light is Right?
Atlas pioneers innovative ways for companies to test the weatherability of their products. From our industry-leading accelerated weathering equipment to the consulting services of our expert laboratory staff, our approach to the market is clear: Provide our customers with superior, easy-to-use technology and advanced testing solutions to determine how long their products will last. As a result, they will reach their ultimate goals – a quality product, a competitive edge, a faster time to market. Choosing the “right light” is one of the first steps in creating an accurate and reliable weathering test program. The Ci5000 simulates solar radiation using xenon lamps and advanced filter systems specifically designed for weathering. Atlas xenon lamps are developed exclusively for weathering to meet high performance criteria for their spectral
suppliers of power distribution, lifetime irradiance stability and lot-to-lot uniformity.The Ci5000 uses interchangeable glass filters that tailor the xenon light spectrum to match light conditions in your products’ end use environment.

Shaping the future of the materials testing world in partnership with our customers.
Quality at Every Step
The Atlas Mission
Producing the very best instruments is not something we take lightly. Every instrument must pass customer specified test parameters and we visually inspect all xenon lamps and
optic filter glass per strict quality procedures. We test every instrument for material compliance before being shipped. The Ci5000 meets relevant CE, UL, CSA, ISO and EN safety and electrical standards for both machinery and laboratory
tester equipment.
