• Light Color: White (6500-7000 K) daylight-balanced for true-color imaging
• Voltage: 24V DC
• Power Consumption: 10W (continuous), 20W/40W (strobe mode options)
• Dimensions: 76 × 38 x 54 mm 

This spotlight is designed for telecentric lenses with an 8 mm coaxial input. This high-intensity illumination can be used in application such as surface inspection, feature recognition, and dimensional measurement. The robust metal design ensures long-lasting performance in demanding industrial settings.

When to Use Spotlights in Your Machine Vision Application

Spotlights are ideal for focused, directional illumination where a concentrated beam of light is required to highlight specific areas or features of an object. They are particularly useful in applications such as:

• Surface Inspection: Detecting scratches, cracks, or defects on reflective or textured surfaces.
• Edge Detection: Enhancing object contours or boundaries for more precise measurement.
• Mark and Label Inspection: Illuminating logos, barcodes, or laser-engraved markings.
• Long-distance Illumination: When the camera is positioned further from the object and needs concentrated light.

Use spotlights when you require intense, localized illumination to emphasize fine details or when other lighting types fail to provide enough contrast or depth.

How to Use Spotlights for Illumination

Spotlights are most effective when positioned at a specific angle and distance from the object to achieve the desired reflection and contrast. The beam can be adjusted to create bright-field or dark-field illumination depending on how the light interacts with the object's surface.

For optimal results:
• Use multiple spotlights positioned around the object for even coverage if required.
• Adjust the incident angle to minimize unwanted reflections on shiny surfaces.
• Combine with diffusers or polarizers to reduce glare and enhance image quality.
• Use appropriate mounting brackets to secure and fine-tune the light's position.

How to Power the Spotlights

The VA-SLC-8MM-W-24V-HP operates on a stable 24V DC power supply. For consistent performance and longevity, we recommend using validated power supplies specified in the product datasheet.

Our recommended power supplies allow you to:
• Control brightness levels via analog or digital dimming.
• Trigger strobe mode for short, high-intensity flashes (20W or 40W) synchronized with the camera.
• Extend product lifespan by reducing heat buildup during idle periods.

While standard 24V power supplies can be used, fluctuations in voltage may lead to inconsistent light intensity. Using our verified power supplies ensures stable illumination and optimal performance of your spotlight.

Production and Quality Control of Spotlights

All our machine vision spotlights are produced under a strict quality control process to ensure long-term reliability and consistency. Each batch of LEDs undergoes through wavelength and intensity testing to confirm they meet our specified tolerances. Once approved, the LEDs are stored in a climate-controlled chamber before assembly. During automated assembly, the LEDs are precisely placed onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) using advanced equipment, after which PCB is visually inspected and soldered before being integrated into the spotlight housing.

The mechanical assembly process involves fitting the LED boards into robust housings specifically designed for efficient heat dissipation and mechanical stability. After assembly, every spotlight is tested for intensity, voltage, current, and beam uniformity to ensure it performs according to specifications. To guarantee long-term reliability, each production batch undergoes a burn-in test for 12 continuous hours, while new spotlight designs are tested continuously for one week under monitored conditions during the R&D phase.

This comprehensive production and testing process ensures that every VA-SLC-8MM-W-24V-HP spotlight meets the highest standards of industrial durability and optical precision required in demanding machine vision applications.
