Seamless integration
Plug into your existing workflow in minutes
No new software, no new room, and no dedicated training program. The HyperLight is designed to work the way your practice already works.
-
01
Unbox and power on
Battery is charged, tube voltage and current are fixed, and the Smart Angulation System is built in. There is no mounting, wiring, or IT setup to coordinate before the first exposure.
-
02
Use the sensor and software you already have
The HyperLight is a source only — it does not connect to the receptor or communicate with your practice software. Any digital sensor, PSP plate, or film works exactly as it does now.
-
03
Set exposure on the unit
Exposure time is the only variable you adjust, from 0.02–2.0 s. kV and mA are fixed at 65 kV / 2.5 mA, so there are fewer settings for different staff members to interpret.
-
04
Image at the chair, not the X-ray room
No dedicated operatory or wall mount is required. Position the unit, align with the built-in angulation guide, expose, and move to the next patient. Support is in Salt Lake City if you need it.
Purchase terms
Why the unit should come from us, not a marketplace
The hardware is identical. What differs is whether the warranty is honored and who answers when it isn’t.

Questions
The things buyers leave this page to go research
Yes. The HyperLight is a source only — it does not connect to or communicate with the receptor. Any digital sensor, PSP plate, or film works. You set exposure time on the unit and capture with your existing software.
The HyperLight is FDA Cleared. It is not currently approved for use in Kansas, Missouri, or North Carolina. Every other state is fine, subject to your normal state operator and registration requirements.
No dedicated room is required — that is the point of a handheld. Registration of the unit with your state radiation control program is still required, exactly as with a wall-mounted unit. We provide the documentation you need for that filing.
Up to 500 exposures per charge at 0.5 s. For most practices that is several days of routine imaging. A spare battery can be charged externally so the unit never leaves the floor.
Our team in Salt Lake City, UT. You file the claim with us and we manage it end to end — you do not contact the manufacturer directly.
All in-stock units ship standard within 3–5 business days. Express shipping is available at checkout for an additional fee. Ships free from our Dallas, TX fulfillment center.
14-day return policy; a restocking fee may apply. Warranty coverage is separate and runs 2 or 3 years depending on the option selected.
Formal training is not required for this unit and is not offered as a purchase add-on. For a walkthrough of operation, see Eighteeth’s HyperLight introduction video on YouTube.
