BLUEMAXXTM Rechargeable Forensic LED Light

BM500LED

Background and Purpose

The BLUEMAXX™ BM500LED is a rechargeable LED-based illuminator which emits high

intensity blue light at 455nm (nanometers). This wavelength can produce fluorescence in

physiological fluids and other materials treated with certain powders and dyes; in general,

materials having optical excitation bands between 390 and 520nm.

The kit has a pair of orange goggles that effectively filters the blue light, permitting visual

observation and photography of the fluorescence effect. The light is an essential tool for

area searches and photography of evidence at a crime scene, and provides best results

when used under subdued ambient lighting conditions.

Unpacking / Set-up

Next unthread (rotate counter-clockwise) the tail cap from the body tube and install the

battery pack with the Positive (+) terminal of the pack (the raised “bump”) facing toward

the head-end of the light. Then fasten the tail cap by threading it (rotate clockwise) into the

body tube (shown below).

CAUTION: Due to the intensity of the light, do not look directly into the beam.

Reversing the battery may permanently damage the flashlight and the battery pack.

Electrical Info

Insert the Charger Plug head into its port at the front of the Cradle. Align the charge rings of

the light with contacts in the cradle and snap the BLUEMAXX into the Charging Cradle. The

Retainer Tabs will hold the light securely. The Contact Rings on the flashlight body will now

be touching the metallic Charging Contacts in the bottom of the Cradle, allowing the battery

to charge. To remove the light from the Charging Cradle, press the red release button then

lift the light straight up and out.

FIG 2: Charging Cradle Features FIG 3: Light Installed in Charging Cradle

Plug the universal power supply into a wall socket: domestic: 100-125VAC or international:

208-240VAC (using the supplied adapter on the power supply AC contact blades).

FIG 4: Power Supply –Domestic FIG 5: With International adapter blade

While charging, the Charging Indicator (on the top edge of the Charge Cradle) will be

red/orange. When the charge is complete, the Charging Indicator will be green.

CAUTIONS: While charging, do not let any conductive objects touch the Contact Rings on the

body of the flashlight. Only charge your BM500LED when the battery has completely

discharged (charging time in this case will be 12 - 16 hours). Do not store your BM500LED in

the charging cradle between uses as it will shorten the life of your battery pack.
