Questions & Answers
Questions & Answers
Q: What is the main benefit of choosing a metal halide point light source like the Olite?
A: Metal halide point light sources provide concentrated, straight UV light rays. This eliminates light scattering and undercutting, allowing screen printers to hold razor-sharp halftones, fine lines, and crisp vector art on thick emulsion layers.
Q: Which power model should I choose: 5,000-watt or 8,000-watt?
A: The 5,000-watt model is ideal for standard automatic and manual press screen frames. The 8,000-watt model is recommended for high-volume commercial production, oversized textile frames, and heavy dual-cure emulsion coatings where maximum speed is required.
Q: Does the Olite lamp require long warm-up delays between exposing screens?
A: No. The Olite Exposure Lamp features an energy-saving standby mode and a motorized rotary shutter system. The lamp stays running at low power and instantly releases full light intensity when the shutter opens.
Q: Where can I see a live demo or schedule regional pickup for the Olite Exposure Lamp?
A: You can schedule a demonstration or arrange regional equipment pickup at Lawson Workhorse Group centers in St. Louis, MO or Marietta, GA.
Description
The Lawson Olite Metal Halide Exposure Lamps are high-speed, high-resolution UV free-standing point light source exposure systems engineered for commercial screen printing darkrooms and high-volume apparel decorators. Designed for professional screen makers in St. Louis, MO, Atlanta, GA, and across North America, Olite metal halide lamps deliver maximum light intensity and even coverage at short exposure distances. Featuring computer-designed reflectors, low-maintenance rotary shutters, and continuous energy-saving standby modes, these lamps capture ultra-fine halftones, razor-sharp point detail, and thick emulsion-over-mesh (EOM) stencils without light undercutting. Available in 5,000-watt (AL 53) and 8,000-watt (AL 83) configurations, Olite lamps optimize pre-press exposure times for both capillary films and thick photopolymer or dual-cure emulsions.

Comparison Table
| Feature | Lawson Olite Metal Halide Exposure Lamps | Standard Unfiltered / Fluorescent Light Units |
|---|---|---|
| Light Intensity & Penetration | High-output point light source penetrates thick emulsion and holds fine halftones | Diffuse fluorescent light scatters easily, causing light undercutting and soft stencil edges |
| Shutter & Power Control | Rotary shutters and digital integrators deliver exact, repeatable UV exposure doses | Manual timers and basic switches rely on guesswork, leading to under-exposed stencils |
| Thermal Management | Integrated servo cooling and power exhaust prolong bulb life and protect frames | Uncooled lamps radiate excess ambient heat, warping screens and degrading darkroom air |
| Factory Backing | Handcrafted in the USA with direct factory technical support and stocked replacement lamps | Imported light heads with long delays for specialized replacement bulbs and ignitors |
