Solar Light

Solar Light Company, Inc. has been providing research professionals with laboratory-grade solutions for the advancement of light sciences ever since we invented the world's first Solar Simulator in 1967. The company is recognized worldwide as America's premier manufacturer of Precision Light Sources, Light Measurement Instrumentation, UV Transmittance Analyzers, Meteorological Instrumentation, OEM Instrumentation, and over 135 different types of Sensors. We also provide a wide array of services, including accelerated UV materials testing, NIST-traceable spectroradiometric analyses, reflectance and spectral transmittance testing, and calibrations for light meters and light sources.

The healthcare industry and front-line workers utilize UVC sensors and radiometers to aid in the process of disinfecting personal protective equipment (PPE) with Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI). These decontamination protocols require accurate determination of UVC dose reaching the PPE. UVC sensors are used to ensure exposure levels of materials during sterilization are both achieved and maintained. Solar Light Company, Inc. provides dedicated solutions to support UVGI protocols. Our PMA UVC germicidal sensors enable you to determine the exact UVC dose reaching the PPE from outside the room.

Solar Light's PMA-Series UV Digital Sensors are available in over 130 different variations to accurately measure UV, Visible, and Infrared wavelengths, with custom spectra available optionally. These Digital models are typically used as discrete sensors that are portable and located to provide short term information. Solar Light's PMA-Series Process Analog Sensors are available in over 130 different variations to accurately measure UV, Visible, and Infrared wavelengths, with custom spectra available optionally.

Solar Light's versatile SPF-290AS UV Transmittance Analyzers / Sunscreen Protection Factor Analyzer is an integrated turnkey desktop system for quick, efficient, and accurate UV Transmittance analysis of sunscreens, liquids, lotions, creams, sprays, gels, powders, emulsions, textiles, and more! Solar Light offers a plethora of consumables for SPF and other testing requirements, including high quality Molded and Sandblasted PMMA Plates, Pre-Analyzed and Certified SPF and UVA Sunscreen Standards, Disposable Medical-Grade Pads, and long-life spare Xe Lamps for use with our state of the art Solar Simulators.

Solar Light Company, Inc. is a global leader in light testing services, offering a myriad of standard and customized testing services with over 40 years of accumulated experience and knowledge. Our NIST-Traceable testing laboratory provides these services meeting ASTM, ISO and other universally accepted standards. Solar Light Company, Inc. provides Accelerated UV Testing services for outdoor exposure of plastics (including vinyls, PE, ABS, acrylics, polycarbonates, PET, HIPS, and other synthetic materials, ) paints, coatings, textiles, inks, dyes, papers (including cardboards and wallpapers, ) and any other materials which are subject to degradation outside.

Using our state of the art Materials Testing Laboratory's advanced spectroradiometers, monochromators, NIST traceable standard lamps, and NIST Traceable standard sensors, Solar Light Company, Inc. provides Custom Testing Services for a wide variety of applications. Many types of tests we have performed are not easy to classify into the typical, straightforward accelerated indoor / outdoor light testing categories. A full suite of data analyses is available, including photography services, colorimetry measurements, and gloss readings.
