Spectroscopic Techniques: Atomic Absorption [Jun 2008]
Electromagnetic radiation, of which solar flux is composed, encompasses visible light but also extends far beyond it to shorter and to longer wavelengths than our eyes can respond to. When light is passed through a prism it is resolved into components, as is well known from studies of elementary physics or, equivalently, from observation of a rainbow.
Portable Safety Lighting [Apr 2008]
ATEX safety lighting and LED technology
Portable safety lighting for use in explosive atmospheres has undergone many changes in recent years. Design standards have been subject to regular review and update, the ATEX Directives have been introduced; combined, these have brought about more onerous design and manufacturing requirements and greater standards of safety. Technology is moving at a pace, the development of battery, electronic control and LED technology offering real benefits to users.

How Safe is Your Safety Light [Feb 2008]
Preventing Ignition in Hazardous Areas
Is your torch correctly certified? Before going into a hazardous area, you need to ask yourself that question. Your life could depend on it. This may seem dramatic but the truth is that a torch could be a very harmful tool if it is not used correctly or used in the wrong place. By that, we mean that the worker needs to be very aware of the type of area in which he or she is planning to work and of the type of torch that can (and cannot) be used there.

Let There Be Light [Apr 2007]
Manufacturers have been forerunners in implementing the use of high intensity LEDs
During the last decade, portable lamps have faced some radical changes when it comes to the requirements set for their features - mainly because of the many directives of the European Union and also because of new innovations. The most radical one has been the ATEX Directive, this directive refers to any equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Enlighten Your Work Life [Apr 2005]
Before Edison’s electric light bulb was invented, if you wanted to illuminate the darkness you had to carry a naked flame with you.
Can you see 'Fire Hazard' written all over that? Fortunately, in 1890 Hubert Conrad invented the battery powered Torch and over the years it has evolved to match the requirements of individual groups of users.

Working in Confined Spaces [Oct 2002]
The need to perform operations within Confined Spaces is a truly international problem.
