The most versatile of our machine vision lights, these bar lights can be used alone, installed side-by-side, or assembled into a ring light. When used alone, they illuminate a single strip of light; when multiple are installed next to each other, they flood your inspection area with light. When multiple are configured into a ring around your camera, they give you bright, even light aligned with the camera's field of view. Though these lights look like workspace lights, they shine a focused strip of light for inspection instead of giving off ambient light. Position them directly over the object your camera is inspecting or angle them for a better look at surface defects. An M12 cable (sold separately) is required to power these lights.

Each light includes a T-slot channel for mounting—keeping your set up modular and easy to adjust. Mount them to T-slotted framing with the included fasteners. Or, add a mount (sold separately) to secure the light to a stand or a nearby surface. These mounts tilt 180° and rotate 360°, so you can change the position of the light without changing the location of the mount.

White light beams are clean and crisp, giving off cool tones and uniform lighting ideal for inspection work. They’re a versatile choice to help your camera see objects made of any color. However, white light creates reflections on shiny surfaces.

Red lights won’t create a reflection or glare because the color is absorbed by materials, which makes them ideal for inspecting shiny glass, plastic, or metal objects. By creating a contrasting color, they’ll help you easily spot if a product is contaminated or discolored, or if an unexpected object has found its way into a batch. However, red lights won't create enough contrast to inspect red-colored objects.

Infrared lights help you see through material, such as objects wrapped in thin paper, cloth, or plastic. Use them to help you determine the fill level of packages. This light isn’t visible to the human eye, so it won’t create a glare on objects and won’t strain your eyes.
