Luminus' LEDs oust lasers in Smart Vision projectors
The new SP30 series projectors incorporate Luminus' Big Chip nitride LEDs and are claimed to set a new performance standard
Luminus Devices has announced that its Big Chip LED technology has been selected by Smart Vision Lights for their new product line of illumination sources.
The SST-90 LED is at the heart of Smart Vision Lights' SP30 Series LED structured light pattern projector for the machine vision industry.

When compared to laser based pattern projectors, Luminus' LEDs enable higher resolution lines with sharper edges and more uniform illumination, and without laser speckle artifacts.
"Luminus has an established track record of displacing traditional high power illumination sources with its Big Chip LED technology," says Chuck DeMilo, Global Director of Product Marketing at Luminus. "In general lighting and entertainment lighting we are enabling the conversion from metal halide to LED. In projection display we are displacing UHP mercury sources. Now in machine vision we are seeing success in converting laser based systems to LED."
Matt Pinter, Design Engineer from Smart Vision Lights adds, "We selected the Luminus SST-90 for the large die footprint and high lumen output. The SST-90 gives us better uniformity across the pattern and provides much higher output than typical 1mm2 LEDs. The new SP30 Series structured light LED source is selling really well. We are competing against and taking business from lasers."
