OPT-LVS15090-W Tunnel Light – Diffuse Arch Lighting for Machine Vision
Overview of the OPT-LVS15090-W tunnel light
In machine vision systems, lighting quality determines up to 80% of inspection accuracy. The OPT-LVS15090-W tunnel light is a premium diffuse arch illumination solution from OPT Machine Vision, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial light sources. With a semi-cylindrical design that emits light from its inner curved surface, the unit produces uniform, shadow-free and glare-free white light – ideal for inspecting curved surfaces, shiny metals and cylindrical objects.
As a machine vision equipment distributor in Vietnam, BeeVision supplies the genuine OPT-LVS15090-W along with matching controllers and accessories, helping manufacturers build stable, highly repeatable automated visual inspection systems.
What is a tunnel light and how does it work
A tunnel light is a light source shaped like a half-cylinder – similar to an open “tunnel” through which the object passes or beneath which it sits. LED strips are arranged along the inner curved surface, projecting diffuse light across an arc of nearly 180° around the object.
This principle delivers two core advantages:
- Eliminates direct reflections (hot spots): Because light arrives from many directions, it removes the glare points that create noise on glossy surfaces.
- Uniform illumination on curved surfaces: Especially suited to bottles, metal cans, round shafts and polished components – objects that conventional ring lights or bar lights struggle to illuminate evenly.
Compared with a dome light, which covers only a circular area, a tunnel light extends along an axis, making it ideal for conveyor lines where products move continuously.
Key features & benefits
High-quality diffuse white light
The OPT-LVS15090-W uses 17.5W white LEDs that provide high brightness and good color rendering, allowing the camera to accurately capture surface details, scratches, printed characters and small defects.
Robust mechanical design, easy to integrate
The aluminum-alloy housing offers excellent heat dissipation in a compact 150 × 105 mm body with a 100 mm emitting surface. A set of 10 × M4 threaded holes (5 per side, arranged at 45°) allows flexible, secure mounting onto mechanical frames.
Stroboscopic mode support
The light supports strobe mode synchronized with the camera to boost instantaneous brightness when imaging fast-moving objects. The recommended duty cycle is ON 6 seconds / OFF 2 seconds, which extends LED lifespan and maintains stable light output.
Standard connector, easy to replace
It uses a JST SMR-02V-B 2-pin connector (pin 1 positive +, pin 2 negative −) with an 800 mm cable and a 20 mm minimum bending radius – directly compatible with OPT controllers.

Real-world applications
Thanks to its diffuse arch illumination, the OPT-LVS15090-W tunnel light is widely used across many manufacturing industries:
- Beverage & packaging: Inspecting caps, fill levels and labels on bottles and metal cans with curved, reflective surfaces.
- Precision machining: Detecting scratches, dents and machining defects on shafts, bearings and polished metal parts.
- Electronics: Component inspection, code reading and optical character recognition (OCR) on reflective surfaces.
- Pharmaceuticals: Inspecting blister packs and syringes, detecting foreign objects and packaging defects on high-speed lines.
- Sheet materials: Surface defect inspection on steel, glass, plastic film and copper foil.
Integration with controllers and vision systems
To get the most out of its performance, the OPT-LVS15090-W should be operated with the OPT-CTL1024F controller – a unit that allows brightness fine-tuning, trigger-based activation and strobe control synchronized with the camera. Stable intensity control keeps captured images consistent from shot to shot, reducing false reject rates.
The OPT-LVS15090-W pairs perfectly with industrial cameras and image-processing software to form a complete visual inspection solution. Explore more in our OPT Machine Vision lights, lenses & controllers catalog and our machine vision accessories range at BeeVision.
