Made of strong, aircraft-grade aluminum, Hammerhead Forensic Lights are designed for heavy use by arson and safety investigators, crime scene personnel, law enforcement, laboratories, and others.
Hammerhead Forensic Lights are easy to maintain as there are no bulbs or filters to replace. Each light runs on 3 CR123 batteries and is accurate to +/- 3 nm. They feature a non-rolling design and are waterproof, impact, and fire-resistant. They come in 6 single wavelengths (White, UV, Blue, Cyan, Green, and IR), as well as 4 dual series lights (see Hammerhead Dual Forensic Lights).
Uses:
- White: general inspection
- UV: trace evidence location (hairs and fibers), serological evidence (semen, saliva, urine), accelerants/vehicle leaks (oil, gas, turpentine), examining questioned documents
- Blue: footwear and other impressions, trace evidence (hairs and fibers), gunshot residue (GSR), blood spatter
- Cyan: searching for evidentiary latent prints, applying fluorescent powders to visualize latents as they are processed
- Green: searching for evidentiary latent prints, applying fluorescent powders to visualize latents as they are processed
- IR: enhancing night vision systems, in conjunction with cameras with infrared capabilities for forensic applications
