DLED3N-IR960 - Dedicated 960nm Infrared LED Light Head
The Dedolight NEO DLED3N-IR960 light head prioritizes 960nm infrared irradiance while remaining tiny for transport (17.8oz). Three variations of specialty spectrum of DLED3N models can easily fit into a carry-on bag with their DTneo ballasts. Like its predecessor, the DLED3-IR960, this light draws a constant 40W of power from the DTneo ballast to power a mono-color 960nm specialty diode set. Just because this light head is specialty doesn't mean it changes is natural focusing ability. A deep focusing range of 6° spot to 50° allows for a wide mW/cm² irradiance range. Wether the light is being used for forensics/medical and scientific purposes, or for specialty photography and security setups, this tiny light emits enough IR to cover a large space in flood, or a distant space in spot while having incredible beam uniformity, just like visible spectrum lights from dedolight. The updated NEO 3 housing has a pigtail head cable connector, and is compatible with all "S" size accessories from the DLED2 and DLED3 series.
Unlike open-faced LED lights that require beam-shaping accessories to get a fixed beam angle, Dedolight LED focusing lights provide a manual focusing range of 50° to 5° straight out of the box. The new NEO 3 housing has a pigtail head cable connector, and is compatible with all "S" size accessories from the DLED2 and DLED3 series.
POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS:
- Infrared Illumination for cameras (night shot)
- Infrared photography
- Surveillance systems
- Machine vision systems
- Wildlife observation
- Criminology
- Art curation & restoration
- Spectroscopy and material analysis
Difference Between DLED2N and DLED3N
Both the DLED2N and DLED3N light heads share the same housing and operate with DTneo or DTneo+ ballasts, using the same accessories. The difference lies in the power output: the DLED2N is a 20W light head, while the DLED3N is 40W. The DLED3N generates more heat with more diodes added making it an actively cooled light. While nearly silent, the larger COB results in more punch. The DLED2N, on the other hand, offers a bit more optimization on the beam side and longer use in a DC setup.
DTneo Ballast
The DTneo series simplifies control compared to the previous DT3 series. The DTneo and DTneo+ ballasts offer AC/DC operation, a V-mount plate for battery use, and DMX as a standard feature. The optional AC adapter electronics are housed in a snap-on V-mount battery shell.
The beauty in the DTneo is its auto-detection of which Neo light head model its connected to. If connected to a mono or bi-color light, if identifies the necessary controls and presents them to the user. Use the push/turn knob and OLED display to select between linear or exponential dimming curves, or change color seamlessly without drifting—even at very low dimming levels (0.1 to 100% dimming range). Choose between 8-bit linear or 16-bit advanced control via DMX/RDM protocol, and shoot up to 50,000 fps flicker-free using the high-speed setting. The DTneo ballast is future-proof, with user-upgradable software via USB, and can drive all Neo light heads from 20W to 90W, offering versatile control across the product line.
The DTneo+ ballast supports wireless control via CRMX LumenRadio and Bluetooth.
