Luminys SUNSOURCE Lighting Sytem:  Less units; MORE brilliance; MORE intensity;  MORE control
High-Speed photography has been plagued by the twin problems of amount and quality of light. Luminys has solved both issues. And just as importantly, has solved them in an ingenious, cost-effective manner.
Luminys and Adept Electronic Solutions announces SUNSOURCE - a specially-designed ESL lamp which has been combined with state-of-the-art reflector optics to provide up to 150,000 watts per fixture. This combination offers the best light quality in the industry, with superior coverage, control, power utilization and cost efficiency.

What is SUNSOURCE?
The Sunsource fixtures provide up to 150,000 watts per fixture of the highest quality, flicker-free light available and, when combined with the proprietary reflector system, provides the best-in-class test-facility lighting.

WHT ARE THE TWO MAJOR CHALLENGES WHEN CAPTURING HIGH-SPEED VIDEO?
High-speed photography has always been challenged by two major problems: (1) available light and (2) the type and quality of light that is used.

Luminys offers their product as a solution to both challenges.

WHY IS SUNSOURCE A COMPELLING SOLUTION?
A mere seven Sunsource units provide one megawatt of usable light. Compare that with the up-to 125 fixtures needed to supply the same light source using other products. Not only does the reduced number of units mean lower cost of acquisition but it also means less maintenance and shorter set-up times.

The Sunsource lighting system's ability to deliver a one-megawatt light output means:
** Shutter speed can be increased to provide more frames-per-second

** F-stop can be increased to improve depth-of-field and so showing more detail and data for analysis

** Filters can now be added to the lenses of the camera (for example, polarisers, to reduce glare)

** Diffuse lighting can be applied evenly over the region of interest which helps rid harsh shadows and hot spots. The diffused light coming from the reflector wraps around the object and fills in the existing shadows, something that is not possible to do with direct light.

** Low power consumption. 150,000 watts consumes only 20 amps of power

ADDITONAL BENEFITS INCLUDE:
** Sunsource's user-friendly interface. Using a 12 touch screen, a single operator can directly position the reflector and control lighting from anywhere on the floor.

** Simple-to-operate software with sufficient flexibility and versatility to be customised to suit clients' specific needs.


WHY IS A LUMINYS SUNSOURCE LIGHTING SYSTEM WORTH CONSIDERING?
If you need:
** Flicker-free frames: up to 1 000 000 frames-per -second
** Instant full power on and full colour temperature
** Power: Sunsource adds 100,000 lux to an existing area
** Energy efficiency: 30 amp feed for up to 150,000 watt output
** A shadowless area: Sunsource creates a soft, reflected light which wraps around objects to fill in shadows and decrease hotspots


Whether lighting the next blockbuster feature film or capturing critical high-speed images in a laboratory setting, Luminys and Adept Electronic Solutions consistently generate brilliant results.
