Fluke LVD1A Volt Light

LED flashlight and non-contact voltage detector combined, Fluke presents the neat and compact Volt Light. When AC voltage has been detected the tester will glow blue, when the source has been detected the tester will glow red. Detected voltage and blue glow is based on voltages from 40 V AC to 300 V AC, 1 - 5" away from the source. Also featured is an ultra-bright white LED which produces up to 100,000 hours of bulb life for those darker environments, and a versatile clip for securing light to a wide variety of items such as hats, panels or pockets.

Features and Benefits:

• Blue indicator when close
• Red indicator when source located
• 0 °C → +50 °C operating temperature
• Versatile clip and design
• Ultra-bright LED light
• 1 x AAA battery included

Frequently asked questions:

What is a non-contact voltage tester used for?
Voltage testers or detectors are used to check the flow of current through a circuit. They can be used to check safety, or to ensure equipment is functioning correctly. They can also test for the current strength, whether the circuit is grounded correctly or to ensure no current is flowing at all so that work can be begin on the circuit.

How do non-contact voltage testers work?
Also known as a voltage detector, voltage tester pens, sensors or test pens. They allow the user to test electrical conductors without touching them. Non-contact testers are the safest and easiest way to detect electric fields or voltage. Voltage testers utilise what is called capacitive coupling, the user holding the instrument provides a ground reference. The tester then detects changing electric field around the object or objects conducting an AC current. (Alternating current) Simply put, the user and the tester pen when near the electrical conductor will cause a small current to flow through the tester from the source, this is how it detects AC voltage.
