Crime-lite^® forensic light source wins contract in USA

Crime-lite^®, Mason Vactron’s new portable, scene of crime, forensic light source has been selected by the State of New Jersey Police Department, USA, in a recent open tender. Crime-lites, which incorporate high intensity LED arrays, were selected after comparison with other well-known models that use either tungsten halogen or xenon arc lamps.

Battery powered Crime-lites, weighing less than 500g, offer true portability and ease of use at the crime scene. Their intense radiant output is generated by new technology LEDs that provide narrow band emissions in the violet, blue, blue/green and green, designed to detect evidence such as fibres, body fluids and drugs as well as stained latent fingerprints. A white light model is also available for general search. Lasting, typically, 50,000 hours LED lamps rarely need to be replaced and provide a significant saving in equipment maintenance costs.
