Thouslite LED Cube & Fixture
Datasheet
This package combines everything you need to integrate the Thouslite Tunable LED Cube lights and adjustable stands into your test lab:
- LED Cube spectrally tunable lights.
- Controller.
- Thouslite Navigator software.
- The Imatest LED Cube Ffxture (set of two) which can accommodate 1, 2 or 3 LED Cube lights per side.
- Your choice of the Jeti Spectrometer or the Konica Minolta CL-500A illuminance spectrophotometer.
The Thouslite LED Cube is a highly tunable, reflective light source. Reproduce any phase of daylight with the highest quality Colour Rendering Index (CRI: 99) and Metamerism Index (MI: Grade A). Simulate various lighting environments to evaluate the performance of your camera or sensors, including tests for auto white balance, colour rendering, auto exposure, etc.
Key Features

- Reproduce high quality daylight illuminant with Colour Rendering Index (CIE Ra) 99 and Metamerism Index (MI) Grade A.
- Blackbody locus simulator to accurately produce a range of sources from tungsten to daylight varying Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) from 2000K to 20000K with tunable CIE Ra 0~100 and tunable Duv -0.02~+0.02. One device reproduces all light sources.
- SPD match to accurately reproduce any measured or imported SPD to record any light you want. It is easy to spread SPD files between different locations for light communication.
- High light intensity output and luminance adjustable using using high power SMD LEDs, together with the software, guarantees high light intensity output, and the light intensity is dimmable while keeping the same light quality.
- Fast change between illuminants and no warm up time with with same illuminant properties during illuminant switch; no warm up time & instantly stable.
- Single-channel control – arbitrarily control the intensity of each channel in LED Cube to design any light wanted.
- Dynamic lighting – programmable light sequence and interval.
- User-friendly software – LED Navigator allow users to design light according to different optimisation purposes. SDK available on request.
- Fast & accurate feedback – maintain the same light quality, compensating for age and variable environments with external micro-spectrometer; more consistent than conventional lighting.
- Flicker free based on AM driven method, it provides a flicker free lighting environment.
- Longer life time and excellent long term stability compared to fluorescent technology, and optimised heat management resulting in excellent long term stability.
- LED channel wavelength selection service from UV, VIS to NIR.
- Wireless control – up to 256 LED Cubes can be controlled separately or simultaneously via Zigbee wireless technology, easy to build customised lighting space and future upgrade. Individual LED Cube control allows users to set different CCT for different LED Cubes in the same network to simulate actual environment.

Reflective Chart Lighting System
The SpectriWave™ lighting systems are designed to produce high quality, flexible test lab environments for imaging systems. This Reflective Lighting System is a fully customisable lighting solution that can illuminate an area up to 100cm x 150cm (40″ x 60″) with reasonably good uniformity (>80%) and smaller reflective charts (areas) with high uniformity (>90%).
Features and options offer a flexible lighting solution to create almost any conceivable lighting condition. With wireless control, the lighting system can be easily controlled via the provided PC tablet, a computer, or integrated into custom software test suites via a python API.
The lighting system offers flexibility when illuminating reflective test targets because it utilises multisource luminaires and heavy duty Munsell N5 coated light stands that can be positioned with ease. These lights can be configured to work anywhere in the world.
