    About Brightness and Light Appearance
    industrial info icon

    Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

    Compact Strip Machine Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Machine Lights. Compact Strip Machine Lights, Style D.

    Style D

    With a slimmer profile than other strip machine lights, these lights fit in tight spots inside machinery because they don’t have a circuit board. They’re often used to light up tool changeovers and other maintenance tasks in cramped machines. The LEDs are sealed in plastic to withstand impact and block out fluid, dust, and debris. IP67 rated, these lights are watertight against temporary submersion, so they can handle your wettest environments. These lights highlight white and blue tones, making them good for inspecting.
    Style D—Style D have an adjustable mounting bracket that rotates 180°, so you can direct the light where it’s needed. Loosen the fasteners at each end to change its angle.

    Stretch the arm across large machines to bring these lights directly over your workpiece. Also known as articulating arm lights, these lights have rigid sections that hold their position—even when fully extended or exposed to vibration. They’re built from top to bottom to handle the tough conditions near your machine. The head and arm are aluminum, so they stay strong against flying debris and resist corrosion. Their lens is made of heat- and chemical-resistant glass that’s sealed to keep out fluids, chips, and shavings. Dim these lights by pressing down the push button. The longer you press, the dimmer they get.
    Style A—Style A have knobs to lock the head adjustment in place.
    Plug In—Lights with a plug connect to a standard wall outlet.
    IP65 Enclosure Rating—IP65 rated lights are dust tight and protect against low-pressure washdowns.
    IP67 Enclosure Rating—IP67 lights are sealed for protection against dust and temporary submersion.

    Bend these lights to shine a spotlight right where you need it for drilling, cutting, and more. Also known as gooseneck-arm lights, these lights snake around obstructions and reach into tight spaces where lights with an articulating arm can’t. They’re not your typical desk light—these lights are built from top to bottom to handle the tough conditions near your machine. The head and arm are aluminum, so they stay strong against flying debris and resist corrosion. The arm will stay in position, even under vibration. The lens is made of heat- and chemical-resistant glass that’s sealed to keep out fluids, chips, and shavings.
    Plug In—Lights with a plug connect to a standard wall outlet.

    Mount these lights to a workstation or dry machining center and use the flexible arm to position them close to your task. Also known as gooseneck-arm lights, they hold their shape once you bend them. They have a narrow head that won’t block your view of repairs, inspections, and other detail work.
    Style A—Style A are the brightest lights, so they’re good for projecting over a large area.

    Direct a beam of light without obstructing machine parts. These lights have a compact head that pivots to aim light just where you need it. Mount them in and around machines—their lens is made of heat- and chemical-resistant glass that’s sealed to keep out fluids, chips, and shavings.
    The narrower the beam, the more intense the light. A 10° angle concentrates the beam, so it’s best for inspecting fine details. A 40° angle spreads light across a wider area for general visibility in machines.
    Style A—Style A can be dimmed by pressing down the push button. The longer you press, the dimmer they get. They have a knob to lock the head angle in place.
    Style B—Style B can be dimmed by pressing down the push button. The longer you press, the dimmer they get.

    LCD Display

    Integrate these stroboscopes into fast-moving lines to check quality. They’re often used to inspect printed labels, rolled metal, and packaging. Channels on three sides allow you to attach them to T-slotted framing and other equipment. They shine bright and uniform pulsing light at moving parts to make them appear slower. This helps your machine vision camera and other digital inspection equipment identify defects. Connect them to sensors to trigger flashes at precise intervals in systems where timing and coordination are crucial. For synchronized usage along your line, you can daisy-chain multiple together. All come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy.
    For visibility in all conditions, they have three light intensity settings. The lowest is often used for highly reflective surfaces, and the highest works well on dark and high-contrast materials. For quick changes between processes, their memory stores up to 10 light patterns.
