Machine Vision Lighting Suppliers

Lighting for Machine Vision systems breaks down into three main categories: LED, Fiber Optic, and Flourescent. Our preference is LED lighting. There are many reasons for this, but the primarily they are very low maintenance as the "bulbs" don't really burn out, they have a wide array of arrangements and colors, and they are generally pretty easy to integrate.

LED Lighting

There are a number of lighting companies that are using LED's for applications because of the (previously mentioned)advantages that LED's have over other types of light bulbs. As the new super-bright LED's come down in price, look for this technology to start invading your house as well, with LED light bulbs for your lamps, the tail lights in your car, street lights, flashlights, etc...
