Product Testing: Summary
Submersion:
OmegaLite's were placed in a water pressure chamber. At pressures
ranging from 180 to 210 PSI, the lenses cracked and the lights were
internally flooded. The average pressure required to cause failure
was 190 PSI (or an equivalent water depth of 450-ft.).
[Test conducted by Hauser Laboratories]
Note: After testing the lights were drained and then baked at 180
degrees for 36 hours to eliminate residual water. Afterwards, all
lights were fully operational.
Storage
Temperature:
OmegaLites were subjected to 10 deep temperature cycles in a thermal
chamber. Each cycle consisted of a 5-hour dwell time at -50°F
(-45°C) and at +140°F (+60°C) with a 2-hour transition
time between each extreme. At the end of the test the lights were
returned to room temperature and found to function perfectly.
[Test conducted by Hauser Laboratories]
Operational Temperature:
The same lights used in the storage temperature test were then cold
soaked at -40°F (-40°C). After 3 hours all lights operated
as designed. The lights were then heated to +135°F (+55°C)
for 3 hours. All lights worked perfectly at the high temperature
limit.

Chemical Resistance:
OmegaLite's were immersed for 3 days in 10 different chemical baths
with the following results. (Note: Clear OmegaLite's (with Polycarbonate
housings) were used in chemical baths 1 through 8. Yellow OmegaLite's
(with Polycarbonate / ABS housings) were used in chemical baths
9, 10 and 11).
