Gardasoft and VCubed combine to release the "whitest LED light in the world"

VLX2 linelightVery high intensity line lights for line scan applications

Claimed by the manufacturer to be the brightest white LED light in the world, the VLX2 Series of smart, ultra high intensity, liquid cooled LED line lights delivers substantial benefits over traditional systems and sets the benchmark for the future of LED lighting solutions.

Why is the Gardasoft VLX2 line light better than other line lights?


**A more-efficient alternative to fibre optics
The VLX2 series of LED line lights has been designed to provide a better alternative to fibre optic-based systems. There are no expensive bulbs to change, saving money and reducing process down-time. The colour of LEDs will also remain much more constant compared to filament or discharge bulbs used the fibre-optic systems.

**A complete water-cooled solution
Gardasoft VLX2 water-cooled linelights give extremely bright, uniform lighting focused to a narrow beam. The limiting factor in many linescan systems is the intensity of the line light being used. The limiting factir for LEDs is heat. So using the VLX2 lighting system, the line scan acquisition can run many times faster than with conventional air-cooled LED lights thereby allowing higher production speeds and/or higher-resolution images.

Why is water cooling better than air cooling?
Water cooling allows the VLX2 lights to run much more brightly while still maintaining the lifetime of the LEDs in-excess of 50,000 hours for all environmental conditions. Manufacturing emphasis has been placed on intensity and thermal management to ensure efficient, reliable and consistent operation and fast "warm up" time. To prevent damage, the units will automatically switch off in the event of a cooling failure. Water cooling is commonly used in industrial applications and is simple to implement. All that is required is a cooler, flexible plastic pipe work and self-sealing pipe connectors, all of which Gardasoft can supply. Existing on-site cooled water can also be used.

**A fully-integrated design
Incorporating the VCubed Smart Design Concept (SDC), the VLX2 Series eliminates external controllers and integrates efficient liquid-cooling, current control and communications in a slim-line form factor to deliver a matchless combination of unparalleled light output, excellent reliability and control.

With core capabilities of integrated current control; strobe timing control; comprehensive communications and control management; LED failure detection and thermal management; SDC enables the development of LED lighting solutions hitherto impossible with contemporary systems.

The light output from the units can be varied over a very wide range and is either preset or controlled via a communication interface. The system temperature and individual LED device failure detection can be monitored. Lighting profile control and ultra-high light output enables much higher camera line rates and better source imagery.
