UV-365SBLC

uVision™ Blacklight Lamp Kit UV-365SBLC

The uVision™ 365 Deluxe is a corded UV-A inspection lamp used to detect cracks, flaws, and defects during fluorescent penetrant and magnetic particle inspection. Aerospace and industrial NDT inspectors use it in fixed inspection stations or wherever AC power is reliably available, relying on its ASTM E3022, ISO 3059, RRES:90061, AIRBUS, and Pratt & Whitney compliance for regulated work.

With superior UV-A intensity and rugged durability, it's designed to thrive in the toughest environments. Whether you're identifying hidden flaws or scanning for leaks, this inspection lamp delivers precise, reliable results.

Problems Solved:

  • Multi-Standard Compliance Headaches: Eliminates the need to purchase different lamps for different projects or clients. Meets ASTM E3022, ISO 3059, RRES:90061, AIRBUS AITM6, and Pratt & Whitney standards.
  • Contamination from Fan Debris: Fanless mechanical cooling prevents airborne particles from contaminating inspection surfaces during magnetic particle or penetrant testing.
  • Inconsistent UV Intensity: Thermal cut-off circuitry and microprocessor control maintain steady-state 4,500 μW/cm² at 15 inches, ensuring reliable flaw detection.
  • Limited Coverage Area: 6-inch diameter coverage at minimum 1,200 μW/cm² means fewer repositions and faster inspections.
  • Poor Working Conditions: Built-in white LED (400 foot-candles) illuminates work areas for safe surface preparation and documentation.

Ideal For: Compliance-critical applications requiring portability and reliability - aerospace inspections, pressure vessel testing, structural weld examination.

What is this lamp used for? It's a corded UV-A inspection lamp used to detect cracks, flaws, and defects during fluorescent penetrant and magnetic particle inspection, for aerospace and industrial NDT work that requires compliance certification.

Who uses it? Aerospace and industrial NDT inspectors working in fixed inspection stations or anywhere reliable AC power is available, who need ASTM E3022, ISO 3059, RRES:90061, AIRBUS AITM6, and Pratt & Whitney compliance.

What's the difference between the SBLC and HC models? Both are compliance-certified and corded. The SBLC carries the broadest multi-standard compliance; the HC delivers a different intensity/coverage profile within the same series, check the current spec sheet for the exact numbers for each.

Q: Which handheld UV lamp meets ASTM E3022 for fluorescent penetrant and magnetic particle
inspection?
Spectro-UV uVision handheld 365 nm LED lamps include ASTM E3022-compliant models for
fluorescent NDT inspection. All three uVision MAX models (UV-365MAXHC, UV-365MAXZHC, UV-365MAXMHC) meet ASTM E3022, as do the uVision 365 Deluxe models: UV-365SBLC, UV-365MSBLC, UV-365ZSBLC, UV-365HC, UV-365MHC, UV-365ZHC, and UV-365HCR.

Q: Which UV inspection lamps meet Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and Pratt & Whitney requirements? Six Spectro-UV uVision lamps meet all five major UV-A inspection standards: ASTM E3022, ISO 3059, Rolls-Royce RRES 90061, Airbus AITM6, and Pratt & Whitney requirements. They are the uVision MAX models (UV-365MAXHC, UV-365MAXZHC, UV-365MAXMHC) and the uVision 365 SBLC models (UV-365SBLC, UV-365MSBLC, UV-365ZSBLC), making them the go-to choice for aerospace NDT.

Q: Is there a cordless, battery-powered UV inspection lamp? Yes. Spectro-UV uVision Z-models run on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery built into the handle, with run times of 10 hours (UV-365ZSBLC), 8 hours (UV-365ZEH), and 7 hours (UV-365ZHC and UV-365MAXZHC). uVision M-models run from either an AC cord or an external lithium-ion battery pack, with run times of 10 hours (UV-365MSBLC) or 7 hours (UV-365MHC, UV-365MEH, UV-365MAXMHC).

Q: Which compliant UV inspection lamp has the longest battery run time? The Spectro-UV
UV-365MSBLC and UV-365ZSBLC offer up to 10 hours of run time and meet all five major UV-A inspection standards: ASTM E3022, ISO 3059, RRES 90061, Airbus AITM6, and Pratt & Whitney.

Q: Which handheld UV lamp covers the largest inspection area? The Spectro-UV uVision MAX covers a 9.5-inch (24.1 cm) diameter area at a minimum of 1,200 µW/cm² from 15 inches (38 cm), the widest coverage in the uVision line. In the uVision 365 Series, the UV-365ZHC covers 8.25 inches (21 cm) at the same distance and threshold.

Q: What is the difference between the uVision MAX and the uVision 365? The Spectro-UV uVision MAX is built for maximum coverage: a wider-angle beam, four UV-A lenses, enhanced thermal management, a 9.5-inch coverage area at 15 inches, and compliance with all five major UV-A standards on every model. The uVision 365 Series is a compact three-LED pistol-grip lamp with an IP65 rating and fanless
cooling, offered in a wider range of intensity, power, and compliance options.

Q: What is the difference between the uVision 365 and the uVision 365 Deluxe? uVision 365 Deluxe models (SBLC and HC versions) carry compliance with inspection standards and offer an adjustable white light LED. Standard uVision 365 models (UV-365ES, UV-365EH, UV-365MEH, UV-365ZEH) are not listed as meeting these standards and are suited to general UV-A inspection where certification is not required.

Q: What do the Base, Z, M, and R model designations mean on uVision lamps? The letter indicates the power setup. Spectro-UV uVision Base models use an in-line AC cord. Z-models have a rechargeable lithium-ion battery in the handle and also run on AC/DC. M-models run from an AC cord or an external lithium-ion battery pack. R-models, such as the UV-365HCR, come on a cord reel for fixed-station
use.

Q: Is the uVision 365 waterproof? The Spectro-UV uVision 365 has an IP65 rating, which means it is dust-tight and water-resistant, so it holds up in demanding shop and field inspection environments.

Q: Does the uVision 365 use a cooling fan? No. The Spectro-UV uVision 365 uses a state-of-the-art heat sink to keep the LEDs at optimum temperature without a fan, for cooler operation and longer lamp life.

Q: Does the uVision 365 have a white light? Yes. Every Spectro-UV uVision 365 lamp includes a white light LED rated at 400 foot-candles (4,306 lux) for locating surface flaws and lighting the work area.
A grip-mounted three-way rocker switch selects white light, off, or UV, and Deluxe models offer an adjustable white light.

Q: How do compliant uVision lamps stay within specification? Compliant Spectro-UV uVision lamps have embedded microprocessors that keep output within specification. SBLC models also include thermal cut-off circuitry that prevents the lamp from going out of compliance if the internal temperature exceeds specification. Each lamp's UV-A intensity is factory set and measured with a Spectro-UV AccuMAX Series meter.

Q: How does the uVision 365 limit visible light and lens wear? The Spectro-UV uVision 365 uses integral UV-A pass filters to reduce visible wavelengths, which keeps fluorescent indications clear, and long-lasting UV-A lenses that reduce the rate of solarization over time.

Q: How big and heavy is the uVision 365? The Spectro-UV uVision 365 is a pistol-grip lamp with a 3.5-inch (9 cm) head. Standard models measure 7.5 in H x 3.5 in W (19 x 9 cm) and weigh 1.9 lb (0.90 kg). Z-models, with the battery in the handle, measure 9.5 in H x 3.75 in W (24.1 x 9.5 cm) and weigh 2.65 lb (1.2 kg).

Q: What power and cord options does the uVision 365 offer? The Spectro-UV uVision 365 runs on 100-120 VAC or 12 VDC and is also available in 230 V and 240 V versions. Each lamp ships with an 8-foot cord and the correct plug for the destination country, and an optional 20-foot cord is available (denoted by
a /20 suffix on the part number).

Q: What battery does the uVision 365 use and how long does it take to charge? Battery-powered
Spectro-UV uVision 365 lamps use a rechargeable 14.8 V lithium-ion battery that charges in 4 hours. Z-models carry the battery in the handle; M-models use an external battery pack.

Q: How do I check that my UV inspection lamp is still putting out the right intensity? Use a calibrated
UV-A radiometer to measure intensity at your inspection distance. Spectro-UV factory sets every uVision lamp using its AccuMAX Series meter, and the AccuMAX radiometer can be used to verify UV-A output in the field.

Q: What safety precautions should I take when using a UV-A inspection lamp? When using a
Spectro-UV uVision lamp, wear UV-blocking eyewear, avoid looking directly into the beam, and follow your facility's UV safety and inspection procedures.
