Product Overview
BrightLumen PWM 16K is a 16,000-lumen LED light source built for the rigorous demands of high-speed photography, scientific testing, ballistic testing, and automotive testing. It combines flicker-free illumination with precise intensity control through both Continuous Wave (CW) and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes, giving users steady lighting or controlled pulsed bursts from the same fixture. An onboard touchscreen LCD provides direct control over brightness, colour temperature, and mode, and the housing is engineered for vibration and shock resistance, making it suited to test rigs and impact environments rather than only fixed inspection stations.

Where It's Used
High-Speed Photography
Flicker-free output and precise intensity control support motion analysis and event photography, where consistent light levels across every frame are critical to usable footage.
Scientific Testing
Stable illumination and accurate colour rendering make the PWM 16K suited to laboratory and research-facility imaging, where reliable, repeatable lighting conditions are part of the measurement, not just the setup.
Ballistic Testing
Vibration and shock resistance allow the PWM 16K to operate near high-speed projectile tests, providing stable, intense lighting to capture fast-moving events without the fixture itself becoming a failure point.
Automotive Testing
From airbag deployment testing to component inspection, the PWM 16K provides intense, reliable lighting for detailed analysis across a range of automotive test scenarios.
Why BrightLumen Technologies
- Manufactured in Chennai, India — in-house PCB design and final assembly/testing, with subcontracted fabrication and housing under direct quality control.
- 50,000-hour rated life across the product line, independent of luminous flux tier.
- Built for demanding test environments — vibration and shock resistance validated for ballistic and automotive testing use cases.
- Direct technical support from the design team — not a reseller layer.
Why the PWM 16K
- 16,000 lm output with full 0–100% dimming — covers high-intensity capture and fine-tuned ambient matching from a single fixture.
- CW and PWM in one unit — steady illumination or precise pulsed bursts without swapping hardware.
- Adjustable 5600K–6500K colour temperature — matched warm or cool lighting for colour-sensitive imaging.
- 50,000 hour rated life — roughly 8.5 years at typical 2-shift industrial usage, with no scheduled relamping.
- Vibration and shock resistant housing — built for ballistic and automotive test environments, not just static inspection lines.
- Touchscreen LCD control — direct, real-time adjustment of intensity, mode, and colour temperature without external software.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the brightness output of the BrightLumen PWM 16K?
The BrightLumen PWM 16K outputs 16,000 lumens of flicker-free LED light, with full 0–100% dimming control, designed for high-speed photography, scientific testing, ballistic testing, and automotive testing applications.
2. What is the difference between CW and PWM control on the PWM 16K?
Continuous Wave (CW) mode provides steady, uninterrupted illumination, while Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode delivers precise, adjustable light bursts. The PWM 16K supports both, letting users switch between steady lighting and controlled pulsing for the same fixture.
3. Can I adjust the colour temperature of the BrightLumen PWM 16K?
Yes. The PWM 16K offers an adjustable colour temperature range from 5600K to 6500K, covering both warm and cool lighting, selectable to match the application’s imaging or inspection requirements.
4. How does the BrightLumen PWM 16K handle continuous, high-intensity operation?
The PWM 16K uses an advanced thermal management system that keeps heat emission low during extended high-intensity use, protecting LED lifespan and maintaining stable output without derating.
5. Is the BrightLumen PWM 16K suitable for ballistic and automotive testing environments?
Yes. The PWM 16K is built with vibration and shock resistance for use in ballistic testing and automotive testing environments, including airbag testing and high-speed impact analysis, where the fixture itself experiences mechanical stress.
6. What is the rated lifespan of the BrightLumen PWM 16K?
The PWM 16K is rated for 50,000 hours of operation, equivalent to roughly 8–9 years at typical two-shift industrial usage, with minimal maintenance.
7. How is intensity controlled on the BrightLumen PWM 16K?
Intensity is controlled through an onboard touchscreen LCD display, giving users direct, real-time control over brightness and operating mode without external software.
8. How is the BrightLumen PWM 16K different from the Core 8K?
The Core 8K is a continuous-wave-only unit sized for standard machine vision and AOI stations. The PWM 16K doubles the luminous flux to 16,000 lm, adds PWM pulsed control alongside CW, adjustable colour temperature, and shock/vibration resistance, making it suited to high-speed photography, ballistic, and automotive testing rather than fixed inspection-line lighting.
9. What is the input voltage and power requirement of the PWM 16K?
The PWM 16K runs on a 21V DC input.
10. Can the BrightLumen PWM 16K be customised for specific testing setups?
Yes. Beam angle can be customised on request, and BrightLumen’s in-house PCB design and final assembly process supports custom mounting and configuration for OEM and test-rig integrators with confirmed requirements.
11. What is the typical lead time for ordering the BrightLumen PWM 16K?
Lead time depends on order volume and any customisation to beam angle or mounting. Contact BrightLumen’s sales team for a current quote with delivery timeline for your configuration.
