Products
- The Narrow Linear Diffuse Light series is ideal for precision scanning of highly reflective materials.
- The DL151 is available in a wide range of wavelengths and provides up to 28kLux at a 1” (25mm) standoff.
- The extruded aluminum enclosure can be expanded in 2″ (51mm) increments from 2″ to 70″ (1778mm).
- The Small Dome Light is available in a wide range of wavelengths including a 3 channel, RGB configuration.
- Rugged, cast aluminum housing has an outer diameter of 5.25” (133.3mm) and an inner, working diameter of 3.1” (78.7mm).
- Provides up to 79kLux at a 1” (25mm) standoff.
- The compact design of the DL2230 is easy to integrate into machine vision applications that require a space saving lighting design.
- The housing of this Extra Small Dome Light has an outer dimension of 2.83” (71.9mm) and an inner, working diameter of 1.95” (49.5mm).
- The DL225 series of square coaxial lights features a modular heat sink and circuit design for enhanced performance, product availability and lead time.
- These coaxial lights are available in a wide variety of wavelengths from UV to IR.
- They provide intensities from 18kLux for the DL225-025 to approximately 50kLux for the larger models.
- 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.
Built on the same architecture as the popular BL2 backlight, the FD2 planar diffuse light offers the same high-performance and flexible build options, but in a front lighting geometry.
The FD2 light differs from the FX and FX2 planar diffuse lights in that the LEDs are located under the diffuser, rather than positioned in the frame (side-illumination).
The FD2 planar diffuse light can be a substituted for a dome light on flat, and/or topographic surfaces, such as a PCB, depending on the exact features of interest. It has the distinct advantage over a diffuse dome light in that it can be positioned at much longer light working distances.
Edge-lit Flat Diffuse Lights provide a space saving design for the illumination of highly reflective objects.

The FX2 is the edge-lit flat diffuse light built for reflective surface inspection.
Unlike back-lit diffuse designs, the FX2 positions its LEDs in the frame rather than behind the emitting window. This side-lit geometry allows for a thin housing and a scalable planar design with uniform output at longer working distances.
The FX2 is available in sizes from 50 mm x 50 mm up to 600 mm x 600 mm in 25 mm increments. It is offered in 11 wavelengths, with optional polarization to help reduce glare on reflective surfaces, and can be specified with a central viewport for select front lighting applications.
The new Light Hub for Zebra Iris GTX Smart Cameras (HCS-150-ZEB) streamlines machine vision system setup. This innovative controller acts as a central hub, directly powering your Zebra Iris GTX Smart Camera while managing triggering and analog dimming control between the camera, compatible lights, and I/O accessories.
Equipped with Advanced Illumination’s SignaTech™ technology, the Light Hub delivers 4 amps of continuous output and up to 8 amps of overdrive strobe. This empowers you to choose from a vast array of Advanced Illumination lighting configurations, ensuring optimal illumination for your application. Whether you need seamless integration with an 3×3 infrared backlight or would like to overdrive strobe a 70″ high intensity bar light, the Light Hub delivers.
- The fourth generation of Ai’s popular Inline Control System.
- High Output Power: Capable of delivering 2.1 amps of continuous output and up to 8 amps in overdrive strobe at 24V, outperforming all other inline controllers on the market.
- Compact & Rugged: Sleek enough to fit through wiring conduit with its compact anodized aluminum housing and sealed to IP68 standards for prolonged liquid immersion and complete dust protection.
- Plug-and-Play Functionality: Enabled with SignaTech™, allowing for simplicity when overdriving, without risk of damage to the lighthead. For more information, please refer to the Product Manual
- 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.
- The IC Inline Controller provides steady and optimal current to lights from a small package when larger, more versatile discrete controllers are not necessary.
- The IC provides continuous-on and DC gating on/off control as well as 0-10 volt analog dimming.
- All ICS models employ reverse input polarity protection.
- A wash down version is provided with any light to which it is attached is also wash down.
- 0 – 100% Intensity Control with optional DCS-MP, purchased separately, will provide manual intensity control via an external potentiometer.
