The DV301x range is engineered to deliver exceptional illumination and versatile status visualisation in one compact, efficient package. Each module generates an impressive 450 lumens of light within a sleek 250 mm unit, with the flexibility to link up to four modules for customised installations.

Combining bright white lighting for machine area illumination with vibrant RGB LEDs for clear status signalling, this dual functionality ensures performance without compromise. Despite its powerful capabilities, the DV301x boasts one of the lowest energy consumption rates in its class, offering unparalleled efficiency at a competitive price.

Built to thrive in the toughest industrial conditions, DV301x modules feature a robust, chemical-resistant housing crafted through advanced plastic injection moulding technology. Designed for longevity, these modules maintain peak performance even in challenging environments.

Thanks to their hygienic, smooth-surface construction, they are also ideal for deployment in sensitive sectors such as food processing. Flexible mounting options - including screw, magnet or ifm clamp - ensure seamless integration across a variety of applications.

The DV301x range delivers intuitive and versatile control options. It supports direct control via four 24 V DC channels and offers advanced functionality through IO-Link integration, enabling comprehensive command and monitoring for intelligent process management. These features give businesses precise control over lighting and operational feedback while driving energy savings and resource optimisation.

At the heart of the DV301x range is its alignment with the Ecodesign Directive, emphasising energy efficiency, durability, and high-performance output. By reducing energy consumption, minimising operational waste, and extending service life, these modules empower organisations to lower their carbon footprint and strengthen their sustainability efforts across the value chain. The DV301x not only meets but often surpasses the directive's requirements, making it a cornerstone for energy-conscious operations.

Ifm says the DV301x range sets a new benchmark for industrial lighting solutions. It delivers measurable efficiency gains, supports customer sustainability goals and drives progress toward a smarter, greener future for manufacturing.
