DCM Sistemes ALU1006A Ultra-Diffuse Ringlight

Geometrically the housing is a compact 100 x 100 x 27.5 mm aluminium square, so it bolts down as a panel-style ring over a part rather than as a large dome, and the metal body helps dissipate heat from the LEDs in continuous duty. The light is offered across a full wavelength menu - white W00 plus blue 470 nm, green 525 nm, red 630 nm, IR 850 nm and an RGB variant - which lets the integrator tune contrast to the target: monochromatic light sharpens edge and print contrast and works cleanly with a matched bandpass filter, IR can improve contrast on some inks and dyes, and white/RGB suit color verification. The catalogued power figure of 5.5 W applies to the green 525 nm continuous build, a useful anchor for sizing the 24 VDC supply, though draw will vary by color and drive mode.

The unit runs from 24 VDC and is sold in three drive modes that determine the wiring and whether external electronics are needed. Continuous mode (24 VDC +/-3%) is the simplest: a 2-pole chassis connector straight to a regulated supply, no controller, ideal when the camera runs free or at moderate frame rates and ambient stability is acceptable. Strobe also uses the 2-pole chassis connector but requires an external strobe controller (DCM cites VST/VSC families), and the RGB strobe variant uses a 4-pole chassis connector to switch channels. The iBlueDrive overdrive option (24 VDC +/-8%, 3-pole aerial connector) drives the LEDs above continuous current in short pulses for higher peak intensity, which is how you freeze fast-moving parts or shorten exposure on a fast line - but it must be paired with its overdrive controller and tied to the camera trigger. One caveat to design around: the IP40 rating means this light is protected against solid objects but not water or washdown, so it belongs in dry, enclosed inspection stations rather than open food-wash or wet automotive cells.
