UF500 Series
High Performance Infrared Illuminators

uf500.jpg (5117 bytes)The UF500 series of illuminators for CCTV applications is specially designed for covert or semi-covert night time operations using special gold optics and high efficiency quartz halogen bulbs for unsurpassed night viewing up to 460 feet (140m) and 60° wide. The unique lens design provides evenly distributed illumination from the foreground to background for the entire scene. The shorter and thicker bulb filaments operate at lower voltages and temperatures and are less vulnerable to shock and vibration. The result is a high-performance illuminator with 40% higher efficiency and 50% longer life than traditional illuminators.
