iQ-LED V2
The standard V2 module consists of 20 different channels and 41 high power SMD LEDs on a 10 x 10 cm board. This module can be used as a single light source, or it can be part of an array consisting of multiple iQ-LED units acting as one larger light. By combining the hardware with control software and a NIST traceable absolute calibrated spectrometer, the iQ-LED V2 can recreate your lighting requirements.
Main features of the iQ-LED V2
High Intensity and Accuracy
The high-powered LEDs are controlled via 4000 steps per channel and 32 kHz PWM (128 kHz is also possible depending on the hardware of the camera). The high intensity allows for broader application areas and more accurate spectral mixing.
A Broad Wavelength Range
Multiple channels in the iQ-LED improve the curve fitting for all wavelength ranges. A broad wavelength range of approx. 380 – 820 nm, increases the accuracy of spectral reproduction.
Independent and Modular
After an initial check with the spectrometer to ensure the target spectrum is being accurately generated, the iQ-LED device will no longer require a PC and can be run independently until a new spectrum is needed.
Production Line Integration
The iQ-LED uses advanced hardware features including temperature sensors, self-testing at startup, and an operation hour counter for smoother integration into production lines.
