DLD-EG Water Resistance Test

DLD Hand Assembled NGALs are IP67-rated

Submersible rated, able to be used under water for short periods of time, heavy rain, snow, and other wet conditions. The highest rated water resistant NGAL.

 

DLD-EG NGALs are IP64-rated

Suitable for use in heavy rain, snow, and other wet conditions. However, they are not waterproof! Please do not submerge them underwater.

 

EG NGALs are IP51-rated

Light rain and snow resistance.

Almost all DLD-EG units have an accuracy of around 1-2 MOA. 

The primary distinction between an EEL (Edge-Emitting Laser) IR illuminator and a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) illuminator lies in the direction of light emission. EELs emit light parallel to the chip surface, whereas VCSELs emit light perpendicularly from the top surface. This design difference gives VCSELs a more focused and consistent beam quality.

DLD-EG NGALs, in particular, are more expensive than standard NGALs due to the final hand quality control, and overall functional checks of the unit, as well as the final epoxy/sealing process that makes them IP64 or IP67 rated. This process is also applied to VCSEL NGALs.
