Chapter 1 Setup Overview The BluLoop BluLoop Multi-LED Light Source offers four LEDs combined into a single light source to improve spectral shaping relative to tungsten-halogen light sources. BluLoop offers good, balanced spectral output in the VIS range and is great for color measurements. Unpacking the BluLoop The following sections provide instructions on unpacking and setting up your BluLoop Multi-LED Light Source. Before using the BluLoop light source for the first time, check for transport damage.
1: Setup 2. Inspect the outside of the instrument and make sure that there is no damage. Do not use the instrument if damage is present. 3. Switch on the unit and check if the light source including the fan is working. WARNINGS Do not stare into the source of the light beam. Handle the product with care. Do not let any objects or liquids enter into the device or in the optical path of the light source. 4. Use this instrument in a clean laboratory environment.
1: Setup 2. Slide the SMA holder to the desired position. 3. After setting the right intensity, tighten the stud screw. The system is set to maximum intensity at factory measured with a 1000 µm fiber.

Chapter 2 BluLoop Light Source Specifications Overview This section provides information on the spectral output and the operating environment of the BluLoop light source. Spectral Output The following graph shows a spectral output of a BluLoop measured with a QE65000 spectrometer. Because the output is a combination of four LEDs the output can be manipulated by driving the single LEDs at different currents. The spectral distribution is set at the factory and should be similar to the spectrum shown below.
