Diffuse "Cloudy Day" Illumination
Machine Vision Diffuse Dome lights provide diffuse “cloudy-day illumination”. Internal reflected light provides non-directional soft illumination that is free of shadowing. This effect is well suited for illuminating highly specular-reflective objects at close working distances. The inside diameter of the light needs to be roughly 50% oversized with respect to the object being illuminated.
Flat Diffuse Lights are often referred to as “Flat Domes” because of the similar performance characteristics they share with classic domed illuminators. If sufficiently oversized compared with the object of interest, flat diffuse lights can provide an adequate “Cloudy Day” lighting effect at a larger range of working distances than domes.
