The UHP-T-LA LED series Ultra High Power LEDs use dense packaged LED Array to produce powerful collimated beam. LED Array technology allows to create high power LED illumination at wavelengths where single large emitter (EP, DI and MP series) technology is not available.

These LEDs can create powerful and homogeneous illumination when used with liquid light guides (LLG).

The UHP-T-LA LED optics contains aspheric lens to create collimated LED beam.

The unique LED head design of UHP-T-LA LED features shielded LED head metal enclosure which contains high current driver. The UHPTLCC LED controller performs control functions. This arrangement eliminates much of RFI / EMI interference common in high current light sources. The controller features Optically Isolated TTL and Analog Inputs.

The LED current controller supports CW or pulsed operation via opto-isolated TTL trigger. The LED power can be controlled by 10 turn dial potentiometer or via Analog input (0-5V) BNC connector on back panel. The product can be used in various configurations such as collimated light source or coupled to a liquid light guide. Multi-wavelength light source can be easily created by several UHP-T-LED units combined by a Beam Combiner. If you need multi-wavelength system please consider Combi-LED light engine.

Please see full list of optional accessories below.
