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 is just 7¹/₄ inches (19 cm) long, weighs only 5 ounces (140 g), and can 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 with a choice of continuous or intermittent illumination.

The OPTIMAX Jr is powered by three AA batteries, which are included, and uses an LED bulb with a 100,000-hour life. 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 dye cartridges and an 8 oz spray bottle of GLO-AWAY™ dye cleaner, all packed in a rugged carrying case.
