LED-Based
Illumination
Illumination has proven to be one of the most important components when designing a suc-
cessful imaging system. Navitar thoroughly understands that the correct lighting can only
enhance the performance of our industry leading vision systems. This is why we are so excited
to introduce custom designed and integrated LED based illumination components for all of our
vision systems. The addition of our LED based products truly allows us to provide our custom-
ers with complete optical solutions for all their imaging needs.
Two LED based products are available from Navitar: BrightLight coaxial illuminators and Ring
Light illuminators. Designed to match the optical performance of our vision systems, each il-
lumination system was created to work with a specific system, such as Navitar’s Zoom 6000,
12X Zoom or Precise Eye system. Each lighting component incorporates the correct number of
individual LEDs, placed in the optimal optical position, to provide powerful, even illumination
across a given field of view.
Benefits of Navitar
LED-Based Illumination
All of our LED systems pro-
vide a number of benefits over
traditional fiber based illumi-
nation systems:
• Longer life.
• Minimum power loss.
• Narrow wavelength band
(red), constant color tem-
perature (white).
• Small packaging with opti-
mal heat management.
• No fan vibration.
• Lower cost.

BrightLight LED
Coaxial Illuminators
High Brightness, Long Life, Optimal Image Contrast
• Energy efficient, long-life design decreases production line
down time.
• Compact and robust design eliminates the vibration normally
associated with fiber optic Halogen light sources.
• RS-232 and USB computer controlled.
• National Instruments/LabViewTM VI or Windows interface.
• External knob regulates the intensity in fine increments.
• Black anodized enclosure for stand alone use.
Innovative Illumination
Designed and manufactured by Navitar, the BrightLight co-
axial illuminator is used to view highly reflective objects which
require an even distribution of light without hot spots. The
thermal design insures maximum life and a consistent output.
The BrightLight LED co-axial illuminator is for use with Navitar’s
Zoom 6000, 12X and Precise Eye systems. Available in either
red or white and with a life span measured in years, these il-
luminators are the perfect source for powerful, uninterrupted,
worry-free operation. Check our website for new colors.
Control Options
Control of the BrightLight could not be easier. Navitar has
developed two user-friendly Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
controllers, an analog (manual control) and a digital (manual and
computer control).
Manual Analog Control: A simple control knob regulates the
pulse width (intensity) in continuous mode. The driver is sup-
plied in a black anodized enclosure. Simply plug the power
supply and BrightLight into the driver box, turn on the driver and
adjust the dimmer.
Digital Control: Designed for maximum flexibility, the digital
BrightLight controller is available in either board level or en-
closed similar to the analog model. In addition to manual con-
trol, the digital model also offers computer control via RS-232
or USB. Software is available on our website at www.navitar.
com/zoom/led_software.htm.
Required accessories include a power supply, either domestic
(120 VAC, 60Hz) or international (90-264 VAC, 47-63Hz), and
either a USB or RS-232 communication cable.

LED System Diagram
High Brightness, Long Life, and Optimal Image Contrast
Our ring lights were designed with careful consideration for the
standard working distances that most of our customers use. The
components are low profile and provide bright, even illumination
to compliment the performance of your vision system.
Used on the Zoom 6000, 12X Zoom or Precise Eye, Navitar’s
Ring Lights are specifically designed to function at specific work-
ing distances. They are available in white and red with Fresnel
attachments of 50 mm, 100 mm, and 150 mm working distances.
The dimmer is a simple analog voltage type with a universal
power supply.

Fiber Optic Illuminators
Fiber optic illuminators are the most versatile illuminators on the
market today. They consist of a high-powered light source which
can be used with ring lights or flexible light pipes for oblique or
co-axial illumination.
Navitar offers a series of high intensity fiber optic illuminators and
accessories that allow you to position your light for best possible
viewing. These fiber optic illuminators consist of a Halogen
illumination system with a variable light intensity
control. They accept a single or dual light pipe or an
attachable ring light for illuminating a wider area.
These illuminators offer low operating temperature
and low noise output.
Navitar can manufacture
fiber bundles and ring lights
in any length. Please contact
Navitar directly with your
specific requirements.

Power Supply
Navitar offers a selection of compact, rugged, AC/DC Halogen light
sources with solid state dimmers for variable light intensity and
maximum lamp life. Each power supply provides consistent, even
illumination when used with a variety of fiber optic accessories,
including our ring lights and fiber optic bundles for co-axial lighting.

External Co-axial Illuminators
Navitar’s Uni-Lite is unbeatable for highly reflective applications requiring
a large field of view and even distribution of light without hotspots. No
other system offers Navitar’s “light-trap” design. It is specifically engi-
neered to trap stray light so that only the usable light reaches the camera.
