LED Ray box

This LED ray box provides a safer, cooler alternative to traditional light sources in optics experiments. It includes a front panel with 7 grooves for inserting various lenses and accessories, allowing students to create and observe divergent or convergent rays. The box features three light openings, two of which can be used simultaneously by different student groups. Designed for clarity and ease of use, the unit is powered by a low-heat 12V, 24W B15 bulb and includes plugs, a slit plate, and blanking plates.

Educational Benefits:

• Demonstrates key optics concepts like refraction, reflection, and ray paths.
• Allows multiple students to observe light behaviours simultaneously.
• Supports safe, heat-free use due to LED light source.
• Encourages hands-on manipulation of light paths through lenses and slits.

Classroom Ideas:

• Explore converging and diverging rays using cylindrical lenses.
• Create single, double or multiple beam setups using slit plates.
• Demonstrate reflection laws and refractive index with prisms or blocks.
• Use for STEM demonstrations of focal lengths and mirror behaviours.
• Divide students into small groups to simultaneously use different light exits.
