Our new KiloArc™ illumination system delivers the brilliance of 1,000 suns. Therefore if you are looking for more than 100 W’s of optical output power in less than an 8 mm diameter area, the KiloArc™ is what you want as a light source. No one delivers more watts for the buck than the KiloArc™.
The KiloArc™ is a complete, integrated 1,000 W light source that includes power supply, starter, high efficiency collection optics and lamp housing in one compact package. One can use either a 1,000 W xenon or xenon-mercury lamp. Lamps are ease to change – no tools required. The system is air-cooled.
The KiloArc™ uses a high efficiency ellipsoidal reflector for collection, delivering 12 times more optical output power than from a system using conventional lenses for collection.
The KiloArc™ can be ordered manual or computer controlled versions.

-
High efficiency collection optics – delivers maximum output power in small focused area, less than 8 mm diameter
-
Compact integrated design – small foot print 0.375 meters width by 0.489 meters length
-
Ozone free operation – venting is not a necessity, but an option
-
High optical stability coupled with low optical noise – reliably delivering set power
-
Available in two versions manual or computer controlled
-
Pre-aligned bulb assemblies, no tools required – makes bulb change easy and safe
-
Economical – the most watts for less

You have a choice of two different pre-aligned assemblies including a cooling fin and a quick release self-aligning connector:
1000 Watt Xenon short arc ozone free lamp
1000 Watt Mercury/Xenon short arc ozone free lamp
Although the lamps are pre-aligned, we have made provision on the back of the system for x-y-z axis adjustment.
Typical lamp lifetime is 1,500 hrs. The lamp lifetime is highly dependent on operating conditions. Lamps should not be operated above their rated wattage (1,000 W).

The power supply is high efficiency switch-mode type design. It is rated at 1,200 watts to ensure that it is not operated at the limit of its range. This provides better stability and longer lifetime when operated at 1,000 W.
The starter provides a 45 KV pulse for reliable lamp ignition. There are triple shielding and electronic filtering to ensure that there is no RF transmitted or radiated to interfere with sensitive equipment, like computers.

There are two LED indicators on the back, one called the “STATUS” which shows the modes of operation: cool down, stand by, or error. The other is the ERROR indication. It senses problems and displays error codes when they occur.
Particular considerations were paid to safety. The lamp chamber and power supply are constantly monitored for heat, as well as the airflow for cooling – if there are problems the lamp will be shut down automatically and you will receive an appropriate error message. If the access door to lamp is loose or open the lamp will turn off, or not ignite.
If you select the computerized version of KiloArc™ it will have USB 1.1 computer interface. You will be able to start and stop the lamp directly from your computer, control the power output from 800 to 1,200 W and be able to monitor the lamp lifetime. If the USB cable becomes unplugged the lamp will shut down.
We tried to make the operation as fool proof, safe band reliable as possible. Making the KiloArc™ ideal for commercial applications.

In case you wanted to mount the KiloArc™ the following are the mounting options on the base plate of the supply:

The KiloArc™ comes without feet on a level plate. In case you want to operate it on a surface that requires leveling, we can provide you with a set of four adjustable feet.
The KiloArc™ does not generate harmful levels of ozone (less than a typical copier). It does generate some heat. Therefore venting is not a requirement. If you do desire to vent the exhaust from the KiloArc™ , select this option.
