Banner EZ-Light TL70 Modular Tower Light

Single Multi-Color Segment & Louder Audible Segment

A multi-color module supporting up to three standard colors in a single segment is now available for Banner's TL70 Tower Light. This module has the same brightness and form factor as a single color segment and can be used to replace a three segment tower light. A TL70 can accommodate one multi-color module per light. A single color segment or audible module may also be used with a multi-color module used in the bottom position. 

Also available for the TL70 Tower Light is a loud 101 dB audible module. This module is twice as loud as the standard audible module and can be easily heard in environments where high ambient noise competes with critical alerts and alarms.Volume can be controlled via dipswitches on the module. 

Other benefits:

• Modular or pre-assembled versions available
• Bright illuminated modules provide easy-to-see operator guidance and indication of equipment status
• Rugged, water-resistant IP65 housing with UV stabilized material
• Segments appear gray when off to eliminate false indication from ambient light

Smart Vision Lights Debuts DDL Dome Lights

Smart Vision Lights recently introduced its DDL Dome Light Series. These lights are designed to read code, eliminate reflections and shadows, while providing uniformity and repeatable illumination for challenging vision inspections. The DDL Dome Lights feature the new Multi-Drive integrated lighting controller. This technology allows the user to run the array in constant ON operation or pulse/strobe the light at a much higher intensity level without any other devices. The built-in Multi-Drive protects the LEDs from premature degradation and failure caused by excessive heat. The Multi-Drive regulates the current delivered to the LEDs and limits the duty cycle of the light. These lights are available in 100 mm, 150 mm, and 250 mm dome diameters.

Light Output Cutaway

The dome shape gives this product a particular advantage in uniformity when illuminating and reading OCR codes on reflective or round surfaces. 

Wavelength Colors

The LED Dome Light Series are available in the following wavelength colors. Additional wavelengths available upon request.
