Benefits of LiDAR

Safety:

All LightWare LiDARs are class 1M eye-safe

Privacy:

LiDAR create data point clouds, not images – so no privacy concerns

Weather:

Effective in most weather conditions – especially at night as LiDAR uses its own light source. Works well even in direct sunlight.

Cost:

We pride ourselves on providing a quality product at the best possible price.

Why choose the LW20/C product:

• The LW20/C is a small form factor LiDAR sensor that is both dust and water resistant.

• This sensor is ideal for distance and height measurement.

• It is suitable for small drones and self-driving vehicles, where weight, size and power consumption are critical.

• This microLiDAR™ sensor is IP rated so it is both water and dust resistant and can be mounted anywhere.

I used before the LW20 a competitor's product and had big troubles getting a precise signal. I ended up removing those lidars out of all of our drones and replaced them with the LW20/C. The issues were gone, and we now have reliable flying drones. I can recommend the LW20 to everyone. It's an excellent product!!!

I'm so happy with this rangefinder, plug and play on the Pixhawk, that I'm including it standard on every drone for a customer

Small and great battery powered rangefinder. It was very easy to install, it performs well and is energy efficient. The technical documentation is accurate and helpful.

Great little lidar, compact, easy to mount and works great! Also, wonderful customer support from the lightware team.

Used multiples of these range finders for our projects. They have performed admirably, and their accuracy has been amazing. Will continue to use Lightware's range of products and recommend them. Especially good and fast performance for terrain following UAVs.

“The thing that we found most attractive about your LiDAR when we started using it was just their size and capabilities on our aircraft. I mean the LW20 is just 10 grams.” - Jack Elston, CEO, Black Swift Technologies LLC

Customer Story

“There are many cheaper and/or heavier LiDARs, the magic was to find a high performance LIDAR at a good price for the size/weight requirements that actually works for our airframe. Lightware LiDAR was the only company that ticked all these boxes.” - Robert Miller, Founder, The Eye Above
