Re: Prelim Photon Cannon Test
2073 will be using 3 concentrically mounted "UV" (black light) LED rings from SuperBrightLEDs.com
These are advertised to emit 400nm light. This is at the top end of the "Near UV" spectrum. The combined output of these three rings is 57,600mcd.
This sounds like a lot, but when viewed with the human eye, it is not uncomfortable at all. The wavelength is not detrimental to our eyes. On the other hand, the camera on the robot sees this light quite well.
My Canon 30D with barely picks up the light from the rings, as seen below. But, the Axis 601 sees it reflected from the target really well!
