Robinair 5550AU — Solar 10W LED Work Light with Integrated UV Top Light
The Robinair 5550AU is a solar-charged 10W LED work light with an integrated UV top light, built for HVAC/R technicians who need hands-free illumination and UV dye leak detection capability in a single field tool. Whether you're working in a dark roof cavity, a cramped plant room, or under a slab, the 5550AU gives you bright LED task lighting and UV dye scanning without carrying two separate tools.
The UV top light is designed for use with UV fluorescent dye — a leak detection method where dye is injected into the refrigerant circuit, the system is run, and the UV light is used to identify dye seeping from leak points. This method is particularly effective for finding slow leaks that electronic detectors may not consistently trigger on.
Confirm solar charging capacity, battery life, UV wavelength, beam angle, and all inclusions against the Robinair manufacturer's current datasheet before ordering. Specifications below reflect available product data — verify before publishing.
Key Features
- 10W LED work light — bright, hands-free task lighting for dark and confined jobsite spaces
- Integrated UV top light — designed for UV fluorescent dye refrigerant leak detection
- Solar charging — recharges in the field without mains power access
- Designed specifically for HVAC/R service and maintenance applications
- Genuine Robinair product — backed by manufacturer warranty
- SKU: 5550AU — Australian market variant
UV Dye Leak Detection — How It Works
UV dye leak detection is a two-stage process: fluorescent dye is injected into the refrigerant circuit using a dye injector, the system is operated to circulate the dye, and then a UV light is used to scan components, joints, and fittings for dye seeping from leak points. The dye fluoresces brightly under UV light, making even small leaks visible in dark spaces.
This method complements electronic leak detection — particularly useful for slow leaks, intermittent leaks, or leaks in areas where probe access is difficult. UV dye and injection equipment are sold separately. Confirm dye compatibility with your specific refrigerant and system before use.
Important: Refrigerant system work requires appropriate trade qualifications. Confirm licensing and compliance requirements with the relevant authority in your state or territory before undertaking refrigerant work.
Best For
- HVAC/R technicians using UV dye as part of a refrigerant leak detection process
- Jobs in dark or confined spaces — roof cavities, plant rooms, under-floor, and ceiling spaces
- Field technicians who need solar recharging without access to mains power
- Technicians who want combined LED task lighting and UV detection in one tool
- Technicians who prefer Robinair-branded service tools
Check Before Ordering
- Confirm solar charging capacity, charge time, and battery life against the Robinair datasheet
- Confirm UV wavelength is appropriate for your UV dye brand — not all UV dyes respond equally to all UV wavelengths
- UV dye is sold separately — confirm dye compatibility with your refrigerant type and system before use
- UV dye injection equipment is sold separately — contact our team for compatible options
- Refrigerant system work requires appropriate trade qualifications — confirm licensing requirements
- Confirm warranty terms with HVAC Trade Supply at time of purchase
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Robinair 5550AU come with UV dye?
No — UV dye is sold separately. Confirm dye compatibility with your refrigerant type and system before purchasing. Contact our team for UV dye and injection equipment options.
What UV wavelength does the 5550AU emit?
Confirm the UV wavelength against the Robinair manufacturer's current datasheet. UV dye response varies by dye brand and wavelength — confirm compatibility before use.
How does the solar charging work?
Confirm solar panel capacity, charge time, and battery life against the Robinair datasheet. Contact our team if you need clarification before ordering.
Can I use the UV light independently of the LED work light?
Confirm independent UV and LED operation modes against the manufacturer's datasheet. Contact our team for clarification before ordering.
Do I need a licence to use UV dye for refrigerant leak detection?
Using a UV light for dye detection does not itself require a licence. However, injecting dye into a refrigerant circuit and handling refrigerants requires appropriate trade qualifications. Licensing requirements vary by state and territory — confirm with the relevant authority before undertaking refrigerant work.
What is the warranty on the Robinair 5550AU?
Confirm current warranty terms with HVAC Trade Supply at time of purchase. Robinair tools are generally supported by a manufacturer warranty — refer to product documentation for full details.
