Advanced Illumination - BL168 Series White High Intensity Linear Backlights
The BL168 Series delivers a high-intensity, single-color white linear backlight solution for demanding machine vision applications. Ideal for applications where consistent, high-powered white illumination is crucial, the BL168 excels in high-speed web material imaging with line scan cameras and serves as a powerful general-purpose bar light when highly diffuse front illumination is required.
Unlike the BL138 Series, which offers multiple wavelengths, the BL168 only offers white light output. Equipped with ultra-high power industrial-grade LEDs, the BL168 Series can operate in both exceptionally bright strobe and continuous modes, depending on the control configuration. Its passive finned heatsink design optimizes thermal dissipation without active cooling fans. For applications exceeding 24 inches, optional uniformity balancing every six inches ensures consistent exposure across the entire active area.

More Product Information
- Our EuroBrite™ lineup outdoes the competition in so many ways. With more features at a competitive price point, there’s no better value in machine vision lighting:
- Complete built-in control for continuous and strobe modes.
- Adaptive Power™, a feature of the EuroBrite™ lighting controller, utilizes an onboard thermistor to maximize light output in continuous mode.
- Adaptive Overdrive,™ another feature of the EuroBrite™ lighting controller, provides a maximal output pulse in strobe mode regardless of the exposure period.
- IP67 sealed enclosure suitable for washdown environments.
- Rugged construction that has been tested to withstand over 1000lb.
- Industrial grade LEDs providing high-intensity illumination of 136klux (working distance of 100mm).
- The SL2507 is characterized as a Small Aimed Spot Light.
- Precisely aimed LEDs provide a level of lighting control not found in traditional illuminators.
- A range of standoffs and fields of view may be specified at the time of order.
- The spot light is available in a wide range of wavelengths from UV to IR.
- Diffuser and polarizer options are also available.
- The SL2507 provides 2.6kLux at a working distance of 4” (100mm).
-
Designed for machine vision applications that require broad illumination over a wide area with controlled fall off.
-
This BALA (Broad Area Linear Array) bar light series is expandable in 1″ increments up to 82″.
-
Applications requiring an even wider area of illumination can utilize two BALA bar lights aligned in parallel, facing each other.
-
AL150 derivatives include AL4424 (4″), AL4554 (9″) and AL46120 (20″) (which represent legacy part numbers)
- For applications requiring power cables longer than the standard 2 meters provided with Ai lights.
- Standard cable lengths are 3, 5, 9 and 15 meters.
