Figure 1-1. Lambda HPX-L5  indicators, controls, and connectors. 

The Lambda HPX-L5 is liquid light guide coupled version of the Lambda HPX high-output  
LED light source (illuminator). The liquid light guide allows for LED cooling via an internal 
heatsink with a whisper fan, thus requiring less maintenance than the liquid-cooled direct-
mount version. Designed around a single 90W 3mm LED die, the Lambda HPX-L5 provides 
light output comparable to a 150W xenon arc lamp when using the same liquid light guide.
