IDX 550 UV lamp (NEW)

IDX 550 UV lamp (NEW)

The IDX-550 is a rugged, high-precision handheld UV-A lamp designed for non-destructive testing (NDT), specifically for use in both fluorescent penetrant (FPI) and magnetic particle inspection (MPI). It delivers high UV intensity, stable wavelength, and a portable design – suitable for the field and workshop.


Key features and benefits

  • Very high UV-A intensity: approximately 9,000 μW/cm² at 38 cm (15″) distance.

  • Coverage diameter of approximately 13 cm (5.1″) at the same distance – provides good spread for inspection.

  • Instant-on function – the light reaches full strength immediately, useful for quick inspections without warm-up time.

  • Anodized aluminum housing that withstands industrial environments and provides a long service life.

  • Battery-powered (Li-Ion battery 3.7 V/2600 mAh), with up to approximately 2.5 hours of continuous use between charges.

  • Certified according to the ASTM E3022‑18 standard for UV-A lamp use in NDT.


Technical specifications

  • Measuring range UV-A: 6W LED, 365 nm wavelength.

  • Intensity at 15″ (38 cm): ≈ 9,000 μW/cm².

  • Battery type: Li-Ion, 3.7 V/2600 mAh.

  • Usage time: approximately 2.5 hours.

  • Coverage diameter at 15″: approx. 13 cm.


Areas of application

  • Inspection using fluorescent penetrant (FPI) and magnetic powder (MPI) where UV-A illumination is critical.

  • Field inspection of components and surfaces where a portable and powerful UV lamp is required.

  • Checking indicator devices, leak detection or general visual inspection under UV light.

  • Use in production environments, workshops and maintenance work where fast response and durability are important.
