Schott A20980 CV-LS LED Fiber-Optic Light Source is a high-brightness ColdVision illuminator designed for microscopy, machine vision, and precision inspection. The LED light engine delivers stable fiber-optic illumination while keeping heat away from the work area.

The CV-LS platform exceeds the output of typical 150W halogen light sources while providing dramatically longer service life and improved system control. Integrated stabilization ensures consistent illumination for demanding imaging and inspection environments.
