VERSIONS & PART-NUMBER
EFFILUX pulse controllers are designed for high throughput vision applications. They can control the power light to create bright flashes of high intensity that will be synchronized with the camera.
The principle is to feed the high-power LED lighting for very short times so as to provide a large amount of light for the time of acquisition.
AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES
Please refer to the datasheet for additional information on the accessories of the EFFI-Dimmer.

Our products do not contain the above certain hazardaous substances in excess of the maximum permitted concentration. However, this does not apply if the product falls under the exemption.
China RoHS
China RoHS Directive is formally known as «Management Methods for Restricting Hazardous Substances Used in Electric and Electronic Products», which was implemented on July 1rst, 2016 in China.
