The LW20/C microLiDAR is the industry de facto standard for 100m range capability, reliability, and ease of integration. A robustIP67 ratingensures it is dust and water-resistant.

The LightWare LW20/C Laser Rangefinder Altimeter is a long-range LIDAR sensor capable of detecting obstacles up to 100 meters away. This particular model weighs only 20 grams and comes in an IP67 enclosure, making it the perfect optoelectronic solution for small drones and self-driving vehicles.

Other features include the drone laser altimeter for precise altitude measurement and sense-and-avoid capabilities to avoid a collision. The sensor is compatible with either Serial or I2C, with both cables included. Discover next-level optics with the LW20/C LIDAR sensor.
