Radiation Kit (Product Code: SLE/H/10) is a complete set-up for examining how light and dark surfaces absorb heat from a lamp. It pairs a 6-oz black metal can with a 6-oz shiny metal can, adds two insulating lids and two thermometers, and includes a clamp lamp with reflector as the radiant source, plus instructions. Because nothing else has to be sourced, it is a straightforward radiation experiment kit in India for schools that want the lesson ready out of the box. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Examining heat absorption of light versus dark surfaces |
| Cans | 6-oz black metal can and 6-oz shiny metal can |
| Lids | 2 insulating lids |
| Thermometers | 2, range –20 to 50° C |
| Radiant source | 110-V AC clamp lamp with reflector |
| Documentation | Instructions included |
Fill both cans with the same volume of cool water, fit the insulating lids and push a thermometer through each so the bulb sits in the water. Clamp the lamp so its reflector points midway between the cans at equal distance, switch it on and read both thermometers at fixed intervals. The black can’s temperature climbs noticeably faster than the shiny can’s, giving a clear data set on absorption that students can graph and compare.
After the lamp is switched off, keep recording to see which can cools faster, which extends the lesson from absorption to emission. The thermometers read from –20 to 50° C, so start with water well below the top of that range and do not let the lamp run so long that readings go past 50° C. Let the lamp cool before unclamping it. The kit suits middle and secondary school practicals and makes a tidy addition to any science lab kit for heat and energy.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited assembles this kit under the ScienceLab brand at its Ambala, Haryana operation, which serves schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Company details are available on the ScienceLab profile.

What is in the kit?
A 6-oz black metal can, a 6-oz shiny metal can, 2 insulating lids, 2 thermometers, a clamp lamp with reflector and instructions.
What voltage is the lamp?
The clamp lamp listed is rated 110-V AC. If your mains supply differs from 110 V, as it does in India, discuss a suitable arrangement with us through the contact page before ordering.
What range do the thermometers cover?
Each thermometer reads from –20 to 50° C, which suits water-warming experiments under a lamp.
Can I use sunlight instead of the lamp?
Yes, direct sunlight works as a radiant source as long as both cans receive the same exposure.
Is calibration paperwork available for the thermometers?
Talk to us about any documentation your department needs; we confirm what can be supplied at quotation stage.
Do you supply complete kits in bulk?
Yes, for schools, colleges and distributors in India and abroad. Share quantity, product code SLE/H/10 and delivery details.
