Spectronics Corporation has unveiled the super-compact Spectroline® OPX-500CS OPTIMAX Jr™ — a cordless leak detection flashlight that reveals refrigerant leaks in cramped areas inaccessible to larger lamps. It measures just 71/4 inches (19 cm) long, weighs only 5 ounces (140 g), and can easily fit in a shirt pocket.

This powerful, low-cost flashlight makes all manufacturers’ fluorescent dyes glow brightly so technicians can quickly pinpoint each and every leak in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It provides over four hours of peak performance and has an inspection range of up to 6 feet (1.8 m).

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 handy clamshell package.

The OPTIMAX Jr is also available as part of the EZ-Ject™ Leak Detection Kit, which features the super-accurate EZ-Ject dye injector, two EZ-Ject multi-dose A/C dye cartridges (each cartridge treats up to 25 lbs of refrigerant or two gallons of lubricant) and an 8 oz spray bottle of GLO-AWAY™ dye cleaner. All components are packed in a rugged carrying case.
