(Daylight Co.: NY) -- The Daylight Co., a global maker of high quality specialty and magnifying lamps, says its ESD Ultra Slim Magnifying Lamp, which provides full protection against static electricity and electrostatic discharge (ESD), has received certification from TÜV Product Service, a globally recognized testing, inspection, and certification organization servicing many industries worldwide.

The ESD Ultra Slim Magnifying Lamp (Model U22091, $379.99), went on sale in the United States in July. It features energy efficiency with the combined power of a 7 in. crystal clear, wide-glass magnifying lens and 1.5 in. swing-arm magnifier for highly detailed work, while giving 100-percent protection against ESD events. Its 6,500 kelvin light spectrum and super magnification create what is believed to be the strongest fully protected system on the market today.

The entire lamp—head, lens, joint, and arm—is fully grounded and has special dissipative materials to remove static charges and prevent build up of static electricity. Even the plastic used in the diffuser of the new Daylight lamp is ESD safe, which is more effective than simply protecting the coating as is done in most other ESD lamps, because coatings can rub off over time.

In addition to the TÜV certification, the ESD Ultra Slim Magnifying Lamp has been independently verified as suitable for use in electrostatic-protected areas.

“The TÜV certification demonstrates a key benefit of the new Daylight ESD lamp: how to provide strong light safely in environments that are prone to electrostatic discharge (ESD),” says Steve Pomeroy, Daylight’s vice president for sales. “This is one of the biggest problems facing manufacturers, testing agencies, repair facilities, and other industrial users, and the TÜV certification gives assurance that the moving parts of the lamp have been subjected to a rigorous a technical, durability and safety test.”

Pomeroy says the ESD lamp is proving popular for use in solid-state-electronics work environments, clean rooms, and other sensitive environments because it uses special coatings and materials to stop the build-up of electrostatic fields and prevent the attraction of particles to the precision optical white glass.

“In addition to its safety features, this lamp provides the equivalent of 150 watts of daylight light while using just 28 watts of power with an energy saving tube and electronic ballast. Plus, the Quick Lens Swap System enables users to change magnification quickly.”
