First Light Lamps Ltd manufactures xenon flash lamps for solar simulation, PV testing, and weathering applications. Our xenon flashlamps emit broad spectrum light between 200nm and 1400nm. This matches sunlight very well, making them perfect for accurate testing equipment.
Xenon lamps from First Light are used in many applications where high energy sunlight simulation is required.

PV Testing & Solar Simulation

Solar cells and panels are calibrated using flashlamps to ensure correct voltage output. Testing equipment manufacturers use our flash lamps in their solar simulators and PV testing systems. This PV testing process is essential for accurate performance measurements and solar panel certification.
Our lamps power equipment used for:
  • Solar simulator systems
  • Photovoltaic module quality control equipment
  • Solar cell efficiency testing machines
  • PV research and development systems
Solar simulator manufacturers rely on our xenon lamps because they produce the same broad spectrum light as natural sunlight. This ensures accurate calibration and reliable test results for solar panels and cells.

Weathering & Accelerated Aging

Solar simulation lamps are also used for weathering or accelerated aging equipment. Testing equipment manufacturers use our flash lamps in their weathering chambers and accelerated aging systems. Instead of waiting years to see how materials perform outdoors, these systems can test them quickly in the lab.
Our lamps power equipment that tests paints, dyes, cosmetics, and any product that needs to work outside. The testing equipment using our flash lamps predicts how materials will perform under real weather conditions.
Industries our lamps serve:
  • Automotive – Paint durability and interior materials testing equipment
  • Cosmetics – UV stability and packaging testing systems
  • Coatings – Paint and dye colorfastness testing machines
  • Consumer products – Outdoor equipment and materials testing chambers
Testing equipment applications:
  • Car paint fade testing chambers
  • Makeup packaging UV stability systems
  • Building material weathering equipment
  • Fabric colorfastness testing machines
Our xenon lamps create the same broad spectrum light as natural sunlight (200-1400nm). This makes the testing equipment accurate and reliable for weathering studies.

Why Choose Our Flash Lamps

Our xenon flash lamps offer perfect spectral matching. The 200-1400nm output closely replicates sunlight. They provide high energy simulation for testing equipment manufacturers who need reliable, consistent performance.
As an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer since 2004, we ensure quality manufacturing. We have advanced precision manufacturing capabilities with our new Citizen Machinery CNC turning centers and provide global technical support.
Our flash lamps complement our other applications including medical and aesthetic laser systems, industrial laser applications, and decontamination systems.
