    Leaks in heavy-duty vehicles disrupt service and increase operating costs for fleet managers. Tracer Products manufactures an extensive line of leak detection products to address this problem.

    Tracerline OPTI-LUX 365 (P/N TP-8691) is a powerful LED leak detection flashlight that provides pure ultraviolet light for optimal fluorescent dye response. It’s ideal for all heavy-duty A/C and fluid system applications.

    The OPTI-LUX 365 produces a brilliant glow that makes all leaks easier to find, while slashing diagnostic time. This flashlight is more than twice as powerful as most corded, high-intensity UV lamps, brightly fluorescing all dyes (both green and yellow). It even pinpoints high-mileage, dirty diesel engine oil leaks.

    The OPTI-LUX 365 is extremely compact and lightweight. With its powerful UV LED, the flashlight has an inspection range of 25 feet (7.6 meters) or more. Powered by one rechargeable lithium-ion battery (extra battery included in kit), it provides four hours of continuous inspection between charges. The rugged, anodized aluminum lamp body resists corrosion and stands up to years of heavy shop use.

    The flashlight comes complete with a lanyard, belt holster, two rechargeable batteries, smart charging cradle with AC power cord, and UV-absorbing spectacles, all conveniently packaged in a padded carrying case.
