SPI-BWN0, White LED Illumination Module

The SPI-BWN0 is a white LED illumination module built specifically for the TNS-7000M license plate recognition (BCR) camera. It works together with the SLM-5M16 and SLM-5M25 lenses to give the camera the ability to capture clear, color plate images at night. Typical installation points include parking barrier entries, logistics yard vehicle gates, and gated community checkpoints where ambient light is not sufficient.

Standard infrared lighting produces black-and-white images, which is a problem for plate recognition setups that also need to identify vehicle color or read plates accurately with OCR software. The SPI-BWN0 solves this by mounting as a separate white-light block on the camera housing.

Key Features

• 16 white LEDs at 6,500 K ± 10% color temperature render night-time plate captures as sharp and natural as daylight shots, cutting down OCR misreads caused by poor color rendering.
• A beam angle of 12° (FWHM) / 32° (10% point) keeps the light focused on the target lane instead of spilling into adjacent lanes or into oncoming drivers' eyes.
• IP66/IP67 rating (when the camera and front cover are assembled together) means the module holds up in open-air parking entries, rain-exposed loading docks, or dusty factory yards without extra housing.
• An operating range of -40°C to +55°C keeps the LEDs working reliably both in regions with harsh winters and in gatehouse enclosures that heat up under summer sun.
• 24 VDC ± 10% input and 6.9 W power draw let it run off the existing camera power line without requiring a separate power supply.
• At 101.2 x 53.8 x 78.2 mm and 200 g, it mounts close to the camera body without adding meaningful load to the pole or bracket.

Logistics warehouses that log vehicle entries and exits by plate number, retail chains managing parking access, and residential complex barrier gates all benefit from the SPI-BWN0 paired with a TNS-7000M camera during night hours. Factories with shift changes after dark also rely on it to keep plate capture accuracy consistent around the clock.
