• Available in lengths up to 3 meters long
• RS232 control

LED technology is progressing at a rapid rate with high power LEDs continually increasing in light output and intensity. The lifetime of an LED is closely related to its junction temperature. Whilst the LEDs may be extremely bright, if the junction temperature of the LED is too high, the light output will degrade rapidly and your expensive light source will soon need replacing. The VLX2 range of LED line lights are designed to thermally manage the LEDs ensuring maximum lifetime of the light whist gaining maximum emission from the LEDs. This thermal management allows the liquid cooled lights to output up to an incredible 2.3 million lux!

Access to the light settings is done via a serial interface. This interface is also offers light diagnostics. The thermal management of the LEDs is critical to long service life. The temperature of the light can be read via the serial interface. The VLX lights also have an internal temperature limit and will automatically shutdown should its temperature exceed this. In the unlikely event that an LED fails, this can also be diagnosed via the serial interface. All settings are stored in non volatile memory.

The VLX2 also gives you the ability to profile the light. Along its length the LEDs are controlled in sections which you have complete control over. If your application requires flat field correction, you can increase the light intensity at each end of the light offering you true flat field correction rather than compromising with software adjustment.

There are two options for the optics; short working distance optics (37mm) or long working distance (adjustable between 90-150mm) which will give you a highly homogeneous line 3mm wide at the subject. For highly reflective or specular surfaces, an additional holographic diffuser film can be added to the optics to further enhance line profile.

The VLX2 range of lights is available in a standard range of lengths and wavelengths. If your application requires something outside these standards, please contact us as we also manufacture custom lights to match specific application requirements.
