The O.C. White ML3000 Micro-Lite 150W Halogen Light Source is a fiber optic illuminator that provides years of high performance use. The key to the success of the ML3000 is not just one parameter but the details of its design. No more will you have to deal with burned up fiber optics: the fiber optic illuminator includes an internal IR filter. This retains all heat to the power box, and allows cool, bright light to enter the fiber optic cable (sold separately). The solid state design of the ML3000 provides up to 45% more light than the competition.

One of the unique features of the ML3000 is its fully variable intensity control. Its specialized circuitry features a 'rolling start' transformer. What this means, is that instead of being able to turn the light onto high intensity from the start, which greatly degrades the bulb and component life, the ML3000 circuit has a millisecond voltage ramp up, which greatly extends the life of the components and bulb.

Bulb replacement is also simple on the ML3000. The bulb is holstered in a spring loaded mechanism that by the push of a lever uninstalls the bulb for you. Simply push a new bulb in place and you are online again.

All metal construction and ESD safety go hand in hand. The ML3000 is overbuilt to stand up to years of use and abuse.

Please note that the ML3000 model only includes a power box; it does not include light guides, which are available separately.
