Which Light is Right? 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 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. Sunlight...
