Advanced Illumination - DF242 Large Low Angle Dark Field
- The DF242 is characterized as a Large Low Angle Dark Field ring light.
- Precisely aimed LEDs provide a very low angle of incidence, radial illumination pattern.
- A scratch on a sheet of glass is a good example of a defect that can be detected easily with a low-angle dark field illuminator.
- With a light intensity of 24kLux at a working distance of 1” (25mm), the DF242 is perfect for imaging problems with medium sized fields of view.
- A 35mm field of view is standard with optional fields of view of 45 and 70mm.
- Available in a range of wavelengths from UV to IR.
*Engineered to provide comparable optical characteristics to our previous RL1660.

- The I3 and I3S Inline Controllers provide overdrive strobe and continuous operation to lights from a small package when larger, more versatile external controllers are not necessary.
- Switching between continuous-on, gating on/off and strobe overdrive is seamless. The I3 and I3S employ Ai’s exclusive Adaptive OverdriveTM that optimizes strobe power regardless of input Pulse Width.
- The I3 is a default-on device on power-up, whereas the I3S is a default-off device, requiring a trigger to illuminate.
- All ICS models employ reverse input polarity protection.
- Provides continuous-on and DC gating on/off control as well as 0-10 volt analog dimming. 30 uSec response time.
- A wash down version of all ICS drivers is provided automatically with any wash down light to which it is attached.
- 0 – 100% Intensity Control with optional DCS-MP, purchased separately, will provide manual intensity control via an external potentiometer.

- Universal input switching supply

Our EuroBrite™ lineup provides industry leading technology with value pricing for an unmatched performance / price ratio:
- 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 45klux (working distance of 200mm).
- Daisy chain up to 4 for a combined length of 48”.

- The SL223 is characterized as a MicroBrite™ Spot/Coaxial Light and is designed primarily to replace fiber optic light sources in coaxial lensing applications.
- Optional couplers are available for use with Dolan-Jenner, Fostec, and Moritex fiber bundles.
- The SL223 is also designed for general lighting purposes where a very intense, miniaturized light source is required. General purpose spot lights may be used to create both dark field and bright field affects, depending on how they are deployed during the inspection.
- The spot light is designed to provide 8.1kLux at a working distance of 4” (100mm) and is available in a very wide range of wavelengths from UV to IR.
