About This Product
After checking that the lamp rating matches the 35W transformer, staff place the unit on a dry, ventilated bench, connect the lamp holder with the correct connector and switch on, allowing the lamp to warm up for stable light output. The lamp is then aligned with the spectrometer or optical set-up for interference, diffraction and wavelength-related observations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is a sodium lamp included? No. The transformer operates a compatible 35W sodium lamp, subject to connector and rating compatibility, but the lamp itself is not included unless specified.
