Description
"The Vector 7 diagnostic UV lamp is a unique design, utilizing a series of superimposed focused LED lamps to create one strong LED beam. The design of the optic lens in front of the LEDs required substantial prototyping and manufacturing liaison."
The Vector 7 UV lamp and the Revolver Automotive Dye Injector is a system used for the detection of leaks in automotive air conditioning systems.
"Cliplight is a Toronto based automotive manufacturer specializing in AC leakage detection systems. Hallgrimsson Product Development was contracted to help redesign their AC leakage detection line."
