FAQs
1. Q. What makes this different from an ordinary flashlight?
A.
Many things make the 3M PPS SUN GUN Color Matching Light different from
an ordinary flashlight. The first and most important thing for color
matching is the Color Corrective Bulb. The bulb is patented and is
virtually a perfect match to natural daylight. Computer like
electronics regulate battery voltage to the bulb in order to maintain
the virtually perfect spectral light, no matter the level of charge or
battery power. Computer like electronics are in the charger as well, it
is a smart charger that knows when the battery is too hot to take a
charge and will automatically make adjustments in order to properly
charge the battery.
2. Q. Why does it cost so much more than a regular flashlight?
A.
The Color Corrective Bulb, the sophisticated electronics, the battery
and charging technologies are very different and much more valuable
than the components that go into an ordinary flashlight. This
configuration generates heat. The heat and voltage needs to be
regulated and controlled. The individual components that go into the
electronics are made to withstand heat and regulate voltage in order
for the 3M PPS SUN GUN Color Matching Light to maintain the virtually
perfect spectral output that makes it so unique.
3. Q. How long does it take to charge the battery?
A.
The initial charge should be at least 8 hours or overnight. It may take
as many as three or more charges for the battery pack to reach full
capacity. Once the battery has reached full capacity it will take 1-1/2
to 4 hours to fully charge the battery from a completely discharged
state.
4. Q. Can I leave it (the battery) charge overnight?
A.
Yes, the battery and charger have smart charging technologies. When the
battery is fully charged the charger will go into trickle mode in order
to maximize the level of charge without over charging.
5. Q. Why does it shut off by itself?
A.
An automatic shut-off feature is designed into 3M PPS SUN GUN Light in
order to prevent leaving it on while unattended. This feature will also
help maximize battery and bulb life. By design it will turn off after
approximately 50 seconds. The length of time was decided by research
and data collected from voice of customer, concept and filed testing.
6. Q. Can I use it in the spray booth?
A.
Never use the 3M PPS SUN GUN Light, Battery Pack, Battery Charger or
Power Supply in potentially explosive or flammable environments. Do not
use while mixing, spraying, or applying combustible or flammable
materials, or in the presence of any flammable or combustible vapors.
7. Q. How is it going to help me match colors?
3M
PPS SUN GUN Color Matching Light can help you assess and select variant
color chips, confirm color-match using test-panels, check for proper
metallic lay-out and blend edges for halos.
8. Q. What is it about the bulb that helps me match colors?
A. The Bulb is virtually identical to natural daylight. It will significantly reduce
the chance of metamerism occurring and provide an exceptional
representation of what the job will look like outside (in natural
daylight).
9. Q. How is it going to save me time?
A.
You will not have to move the car outside to view the color in natural
daylight in order to do your job. In the event it helps you avoid a
redo because of color match or coverage, it will save you time and
materials along with the stress and frustration that comes from that
type of problem occurring.
10. Q. What is the Lux rating?
A. Standard Mode > The Lux rating at 2' or .6 meters is 1416.7
High Intensity Mode > The Lux rating at 2' or .6 meters is 2968.8
11. Q. What is the Kelvin rating of the bulb?
A. 4700oK Kelvin
12. Q. What is the percentage of light vs. natural daylight?
A. CRI (Color Rendering Index) = 99.35%
13. Q. What can I clean it with?
A.
Do not use any cleaning solvents other than a mild soap solution on a
lightly dampened cloth to clean the 3M PPS SUN GUN Light, Battery Pack,
Battery Charger or Power Supply. Do not allow any liquids of any kind
especially flammable liquids to enter the 3M PPS SUN GUN Light, Battery
Pack, Battery Charger or Power Supply.
14. Q. Where can I get a replacement parts? (Bulb, Battery, Charger, etc.)
A.
The best place to purchase spare or replacement parts is through an
Authorized 3M Automotive Aftermarket Distributor. Check with the
Distributor location where you originally purchased the 3M PPS SUN GUN
Color Matching Light.
15. Q. How long is the warranty?
A. The 3M PPS SUN GUN Color Matching Light carries a 90 Day limited remedy warranty.
16. Q. How will it hold up if it gets dropped?
A.
Although, standard UL testing confirms the 3M PPS SUN GUN Color
Matching Light and all of the components hold up very well when exposed
to sudden impact, we DO NOT recommend the use of a 3M PPS SUN GUN
Battery Pack if it is dropped. Replace the battery pack if it is
dropped and ALWAYS dispose of the 3M PPS SUN GUN Light, Battery Pack,
Battery Charger and Power Supply in accordance with federal, state and
local requirements for disposal.
17. Q. Will it work outside on a cloudy day?
A.
Yes, the cloudier the better! It will help you see metallic and other
subtle differences in color that you simply cannot see on a cloudy,
rainy or dark stormy day.
