IR illuminator: Redbeam IRD60 (850nm, 180 degrees)

Readbeam IRD60 is a modern IR illuminator designed for indoor applications (ceiling-mounted). Its IR LED array provides IR light of 850 nm wavelength, with radiation angle of 180^o in vertical plane and 360^o in horizontal plane, covering area up to 60 m².

• IR LED array
• Output power: 1800 mW
• Maximum covered area: 60 m²
• Operational angle: 180^o (vertical plane), 360^o (horizontal plane)
• 8-times longer life than conventional LEDs
• Indoor aluminum housing

IR illuminators of Redbeam series are modern devices for providing homogeneous IR light in the monitored area in order to enable CCTV cameras to capture images in low-light or no-light environments. The advantage of the series is application of specially designed LED arrays (instead of conventional set of diodes) which, together with optical lenses, ensures desired operational angles and distances.

The IR illuminators of the series, cooperating with day/night cameras, make perfect sets for night surveillance. Their twilight sensors in combination with high-efficiency IR LEDs provide very good results, with relatively low power consumption.

A typical IR LED provides output power between 5 mW and 15 mW, so, even in the case of short operational distance, an IR illuminator has to employ at least several such diodes. The Redbeam IRD60 illuminator provides 1800 mW. This means a much larger coverage capacity, in spite of the small size of the device.

Another advantage of the arrays is the lifetime of the materials used. Standard heavy-duty IR diodes operate around 6000 hours. In the case of the arrays, the expected lifetime is about 50000 hours. It means that they can work for over 10 years (12/24 cycle)!

The casing is made of aluminum (black finish). To prevent overheating, the body is formed as a radiator. For optimal results, the illuminator should be mounted on the ceiling in the middle of a room.
