Tracer Products has unveiled the TP- 8640CS OPTIMAX Jr — a cordless, blue light LED leak detection flashlight that reveals leaks in cramped areas inaccessible to larger lamps. It is 7¼ inches (19cm) long, weighs 5 ounces (140g), and is said to be easy to carry in a pocket.
This flashlight makes all manufacturers’ fluorescent dyes glow brightly so technicians can pinpoint each air conditioning and fluid leak in seconds. It provides more than four hours of peak performance and has an inspection range of up to 6 feet (1.8m).
The OPTIMAX Jr is powered by three AA batteries, which are included, and uses an LED bulb with a 100,000-hour life. The flashlight comes with fluorescence-enhancing glasses in a clamshell package.
It also is available as part of the EZ-Ject Leak Detection Kit and Mini-EZ Leak Detection Kit. These kits also include an A/C dye injector with hose and coupler, a dye cartridge or cartridges, a bottle of Dye-Lite ALL-IN-ONE dye for all oil-based fluids, a bottle of Dye-Lite Rite-Blend coolant dye and fluorescence-enhancing glasses.
