The new IHR Series High Power Ring Lights from LDDLIGHT.com are designed for applications requiring high light intensity, illumination of large areas or long working distances. Unique within our Ring Series, IHR’s are equipped with Power LEDs that provide significantly higher output when compared to more conventional LED ring lights. The high illumination intensity in models sized up to 350 millimeters in diameter creates opportunities to deploy these long-life, high-efficiency LED units in applications that have been using less efficient, shorter life fluorescent or incandescent sources.
Available in six sizes with outer diameters of 85, 124, 154, 223, 273 and 353 millimeters, IHR models are available with red, white, blue or green LEDs. Additional wavelengths or sizes may be custom ordered. All IHR models are equipped with a standard diffusion optic for uniform illumination. Optional polarizing optics are available for applications requiring the suppression of glare from specular surfaces.

New “Thin Type” Machine Vision Dome Lights
The new IFH Series Thin Type Dome Lights are only 8mm thick, requiring only a small fraction of the installation space that traditional dome lights take, yet they deliver a wide angle of illumination that was previously available only from hemisphere style dome designs. With LEDs mounted horizontally along the edges and patent pending optics that integrate the lighting and viewing planes, this ultra-thin design is capable of providing the uninterrupted, wide angle, uniform and shadow-free illumination needed when imaging shiny irregular surfaces. Unique within our Dome Series, the IFH optics eliminate the “dark spot” that can be caused by a standard dome light’s non-illuminated camera aperture.
Available in six sizes with illuminated areas of 25 x 25, 50 x 50, 75 x 75, 100 x 100, 150 x 150 and 200 x 200 millimeters, IFH models are available with red, white, blue or green LEDs. Additional wavelengths or sizes may be custom ordered.

In our January Newsletter we asked if you had ever tried to image a very small, highly textured chamfer. As we recently faced the challenge of using a single light source to detect both very large and very small chamfer edges on a part with highly textured surfaces, we wanted to share one way of approaching the lighting for this machine vision application. See how collimated lighting solved this challenge.
New 24 Volt Machine Vision Lights
Our line now includes models designed for 24 Volt DC power. These new models can both simplify integration and reduce cost when integrating lighting into systems with existing 24 Volt DC power by eliminating the need for additional power supplies dedicated to the lighting. The design of these new models is equivalent to their 12 Volt DC counterparts. To see what's available now for 24 Volt DC models and pricing, enter "24VDC" into the site's Search Box. For specific 24 Volt lighting questions or needs, please call or e'mail us at (603)732-0057 or sales@lddlight.com.
Article: Part II of Hubble and Machine Vision
Looking for a machine vision challenge that is worth billions of dollars? Who isn't! In the second installment of his article series Hubble and Machine Vision, author and LDDLIGHT.com member Marcel Laflamme illuminates and entertains as he shares more similarities in vision applications on earth and in space. Enjoy the full article at www.lddlight.com/articles/ldd-hubble-mv-part2.pdf.
The new IDD-KH Series High Power Dome Lights from LDDLIGHT.com are available in six standard sizes ranging from 80mm (3”) to 350mm (14”) in diameter. The largest model in our Dome Series, the IDD-KH350‘s illumination intensity is greatest at up to 10mm working distances, from which it uniformly lights a 300mm field of view. The high brightness “Power LEDs” used in all IDD-KH models provide machine vision systems with generous light output for measuring, inspecting and reading applications where intense illumination is required. The IDD-KH’s hemispherical dome delivers a broad angle of illumination onto a part’s surface, reducing shadows that can make imaging shiny spherical and irregular surfaces problematic.
IDD-KH models are diffuse and available with red, white, blue or green Power LEDs. Models larger than 350mm diameter may be custom ordered.

Article: Hubble and Machine Vision
The Hubble Space Telescope looks for minute displays of light, Machine Vision looks for rays of light, what do they have in common? Find out in the full article Hubble and Machine Vision Part 1.
New Tunnel-Type Machine Vision Dome Light
The new IQD Series Tunnel-Type Dome Lights deliver a broad angle of illumination onto a part’s surface, reducing shadows that can make imaging shiny spherical and irregular surfaces problematic. With the IQD Series tunnel (aka "half-pipe") configuration, large entry and exit doorways allow parts to be positioned inside the dome using standard part conveyance systems.
