Light Exploration Activity Kit
Product Code : SCL-LAO-12068
Light Exploration Activity Kit (SKU SCL-LAO-12068) is a starter optics kit built around a low-voltage 3-way LED ray box, with shatterproof acrylic lenses and six colour filters for exploring reflection, refraction and colour mixing. It is aimed at primary and middle school science, where pupils trace rays on paper. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory equipment manufacturer in India, assembles the kit at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, and supplies schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors directly.
Specifications
The table shows each specification of the LED ray-box activity kit. In short, the 3-way LED ray box runs on three AA batteries or a 5V DC adapter, the lenses are optical-grade shatterproof acrylic, and everything packs into a 350 x 250 x 80 mm hard-shell case with a fitted foam inlay.

Applications and Experiments for the Light Exploration Activity Kit
Pupils set the ray box on a white sheet, pass its three rays through the acrylic lenses and watch them converge, spread or bend, then slide colour filters over the apertures to mix coloured light. These short activities suit science kits for students in India from primary classes up to Class 8.
- Class 6–8 light chapters: rays travel in straight lines, and convex and concave lenses converge or spread them.
- Refraction and the critical angle with the semicircular block; a set such as the Acrylic Prism adds dispersion work.
- Additive colour mixing: red, green and blue beams crossing to give white light, extended with the Colour Shadow Apparatus Optics Lab.
Do not stare into the ray box apertures, and remove batteries before storing the kit long-term.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each kit contains one 3-way LED ray box, one semicircular, one double convex and one double concave acrylic lens element, three primary and three secondary colour filters, a hard-shell storage case with foam inlay, and an illustrated student workbook with teacher guide. Batteries and the 5V DC adapter are not part of the kit and can be added to the quotation if required.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order one kit for the teacher or one per group for a whole class. The Science Lab Supplies quotation states packing, delivery time and price for that quantity and can also include batteries, a 5V adapter or companion optics items so that classes are ready to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Light Exploration Activity Kit show colour mixing?
The colour filters slide over the ray box light channels. When the red, green and blue light paths cross, they combine to give white light, demonstrating additive colour mixing.
Are the lenses safe for young pupils?
The lens elements are optical-grade acrylic rather than glass, which makes them shatterproof and suitable for younger learners who handle the parts themselves during group activities.
What power does the ray box need?
The low-voltage LED ray box runs on three standard AA batteries or on a 5V DC adapter. Ask for batteries or the adapter on the quotation if you want them supplied with the kit.
Who makes the kit — Science Lab Supplies or another firm?
Science Lab Supplies makes it. The kit is put together at the company’s Saha, Ambala manufacturing unit in India, so schools receive their offer directly from the producer of the kit.
