About

About TF-Luna

TF-Luna is a single-point time-of-flight lidar module measuring targets from approximately 0.2 to eight metres. It provides adjustable output rates from one to 250 hertz and maintains operation under ambient light reaching 70 kilolux.

The compact sensor consumes less than 0.35 watts and communicates through UART or I²C. Configurable filtering and output modes support UAV altitude measurement, robot obstacle detection, liquid-level monitoring and embedded proximity sensing. Benewake provides manuals, firmware tools and Pixhawk integration guidance.

Context

Market context

Compact 8 m single-point ToF LiDAR for distance, height and obstacle signals.

  • Target environment: Drones, compact mobile robots, industrial sensing, level detection, parking systems and proximity devices
  • Workflow context: Distance measurement, height sensing, obstacle avoidance, fall prevention and low-power proximity sensing
  • Customer context: Teams that need a small ranging sensor rather than a full scanning LiDAR or depth camera.
  • Deployment model: Official Benewake TF-Luna product page and product listing.
  • Commercial maturity: Commercial sensor with public optical, electrical, interface, size, weight and environmental data.
  • Adoption constraints: Fit depends on target reflectivity, ambient light, enclosure design, interface choice and the application's required field of view.
  • Adjacent products: Garmin LIDAR-Lite, Benewake TFmini families, VL53 ToF sensors, small ultrasonic/proximity sensor alternatives
