Crime-lite
Encyclopedia
The Crime-lite is a handheld, high-intensity alternate light source used primarily by forensic investigators to detect evidence
such as fingerprints, bodily fluids and latent evidence from crime scenes.
The Crime-lite was one of the first commercially available alternate light sources to benefit from LED
technology. LED
light sources offer many advantages over previous technologies including durability and lifespan.
There are several models of Crime-lite currently available including the Crime-lite 2, 82, ML, XL, and 8x4.
Recent advances in the power and spread of light from LED
bulbs means that LED
light sources are now able to offer a valid alternative to Laser
and Xenon
Arc products.
Crime-lites are used by police
, security and military
forces worldwide.
