Back Lights are available in the following sizes:

Typical Installation


MBL - Monster Series
Spectrum Illumination Monster Series Back Lights are designed to create high contrast silhouettes for high speed Machine Vision Applications. Monster Series Back Lights can also be used to create diffused front lighting because of the high intensity of the LED's. The Monster Series Back Lights are 5 - 10 times brighter than standard back lights depending on the color. They have been used in high speed bottling and canning operations as diffused front lights with complete success. Sizes currently available include 1" x 2", 1" x 4", 2" x 2", 4" x 4" and 4" x 8" but all Monster Series lights (Spot Lights, Ring Lights, Linear Lights or Washdown Series lights) can be ordered with the option by adding "MB" to the front of the part number. Every Light is designed in a heavy duty industrial enclosure. Monster Series Back Lights use a specially designed optic that disperses the light intensity evenly. When viewing the light without the diffuser the individual LED's actually look brighter from an angle view than it does looking straight on. This is why there are no hot spots and is what makes the Monster Series Back Light superior to other LED back lights. Monster Series Back Lights are supplied with our DIN rail mount 24 volt DC High Speed LDM (LED Driver Module) Adapter and 4 meter 5 pin reverse keyed M12 Eurofast quick disconnect cable. The LDM Adapter has both PNP and NPN strobe inputs with a 3 microsecond response time and is also available with an optional variable potentiometer control or 0-10VDC analog control.

BL - Standard Series
Spectrum Illumination Standard Series Back Lights are designed to create high contrast silhouettes for Machine Vision Applications. Standard Series Back Lights can also be used to create front lighting in cases where minimal lighting is needed. All Spectrum Illumination Series Back Lights are built using Modular Board Technology (MBT). Because we use MBT we are able to make back lights in 1" (25.4mm) by 2" (50.8mm) incremental dimensions. The reason MBT is important is that when the boards are assembled in the housing, the LED spacing is the same on a single board as it is from board to board. The result of MBT is even illumination over the length and width of the light (connecting the lights together creates dead spots between lights because LED spacing is not observed). Every light is designed in a heavy duty industrial enclosure. Every Standard Series Back Light is built with 12 surface mount LED's per square inch so they produce bright even illumination. Standard Series Back Lights run on industry standard 24 volt DC power. Standard Series Back Lights also incorporate a high speed low current sourcing input for strobing the lights directly from a vision sensor or PLC output. The strobe line can be tied directly to 24 volt DC so the light remains on constant. All Standard Series Back Lights use industry standard 4 pin M12 Eurofast quick disconnect cables and are supplied with a 4 meter mating cable.

Spectrum Illumination offers Standard Series Back Lights in many different sizes. Choose from the menus above for our most popular sizes. If you don't see the size you need, contact us and we will be glad to assist !
