IRL Series
LED Infrared Illuminators

The IRL Series Infrared Illuminator is a versatile short range illuminator (up to 50 feet /15 m) that easily installs onto ceilings, walls and standard electrical boxes. It is ideal for infrared enhancement of dark areas in restaurants, night-clubs, warehouses, and wherever video surveillance requires night-time performance enhancement under covert or semi-covert conditions.

The Hi-Impact Dome enclosure is hammer tough and weathertight. The exterior is a thick anodized CNC machined aluminum base with an impact resistant polycarbonate dome. An anodized retaining ring locks the dome in place providing continuous rigidity against impact forces. Inside, 42 high-performance LEDs mounted to a heat-sinking double-gimbal can be easily adjusted to point in the desired direction.

The IRL Series can be installed as a covert infrared illuminator to enhance the night-time performance of our matching HD Series B&W surveillance camera. Installation is simple "plug-and-play" and adjusting the direction of the LED illuminator is quickly achieved. The rugged yet elegant design is versatile for indoor and outdoor installations in vandal prone locations. It can also fit over a single gang electrical box for home automation projects.

The IRL Series is designed to mount over a single gang box to provide a flush appearance while leaving room inside the electrical box for connectors. The impact resistant dome can also be surface installed in minutes to all interior and exterior walls and ceilings.

A patent (pending) gimbal device allows full rotation of the LED head for positioning in any direction while also acting as a heat sink to transfer heat to the solid aluminum base.

Pre-harnessed wiring allows for plug & play installation with a standard 12 VDC or 24 VAC power supply.


Models:
Model Description
IRL585A 850nm, 50 deg. Medium Beam
IRL285A 850nm, 20 deg. Narrow Beam
IRL294A 940nm, 20 deg. Narrow Beam
IRL594A 940nm, 50 deg. Medium Beam
Note: Aluminum finish, clear dome
Black finish available as special order on above items.
 
Performance Notes:
1. Use good infrared sensitive cameras for better results
2. 850nm models emit a slight red visible glow.
3. 940nm covert models are not visible, but require the best I.R. sensitive cameras.

 

Applications:
Schools / Prisons
Access ControlHome Automation
Nightclubs
Public Buildings
Industrial Buildings
Indoor / Outdoor

Typical Range - with 830nm LED's (in feet)
Distances will normally decrease 60+% with covert 940nm models.
