Flashlight Identifies Radioactive Materials

Davis, California – January 22, 2013 – Radlamp combines a flashlight with a Geiger counter to enable first responders to quickly identify radioactive threats.   The Radlamp 300 looks and operates like a small flashlight until it is pointed at an abnormal source of nuclear radiation.  The radiation is detected by a sensitive Geiger tube, causing the flashlight beam to change color from white to red.  

The simple, intuitive operation of the Radlamp 300 gives first responders a simple tool to rapidly evaluate an accident or crime scene for radioactive threats.  

The Radlamp 300 is sensitive to alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray radiation, operates 100 hours on a set of two CR123A batteries, and is sealed, water-resistant and rugged.  

Radlamp is a division of JK Microsystems, a US manufacturer of scientific and industrial electronics since 1996.
