IRLC Series
Compact LED Infrared Illuminators

The IRLC Series infrared illuminators offer a versatile, effective and economical solution for covert lighting of indoor and outdoor surveillance. The compact cube shape is designed to be located near the surveillance site, while allowing the camera to be located further away if necessary.

These low voltage illuminators can be safely and discreetly installed to enhance the night-time performance of existing and new infrared-sensitive cameras. Installers can now provide as much infrared light as necessary to illuminate a dark environment.

The units are comprised of 42 high performance LEDs mounted to a solid core CNC machined aluminum housing that acts as a heat sink. A voltage regulator allows for 12VDC or 24VAC operation. An adjustable photocell allows the installer to set the ambient light level for automatic on/off operation. The illuminators are available in 850nm or covert 940nm, with 30 degree or 60 degree beam patterns. A variable resistor, that acts like a dimmer, allows the installer to adjust the infrared light intensity. Two 1/4-20 mounting holes allow for easy installation onto standard camera brackets.

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 a camera with extended IR range to achieve the distance or our 850nm models.
