AL325 Available in 16 wavelengths, five lens options and multiple size requirements, ranging from 150 mm to 2.1 m in length, Advanced Illumination’s new modular light bar series features embedded control capabilities. A variety of light conditioning options are available, including homogenizers, diffusers, polarizers and specialized direction-turning films ideal for creating oblique lighting effects. 

What’s new? The AL325. 

Benefits Flexibility and high performance. Unlike traditional machine vision lights, which users often have to replace when beam angles or light conditioning needs change, the modular AL325 series has field-swappable lenses and light conditioning materials that make it adaptable to new applications, saving time and money. Using high-performance LEDs and efficient Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lenses, the light bar series is nearly twice as bright as competing modular bar lights.
