CCTV lighting product manufacturer Raytec have announced the RM200 long range IR illuminator in the market.
The RM200 provides, the firm says, a "green" lighting solution for installers and delivers savings on running and maintenance costs. RM200 can illuminate distances up to 300m from an electrical consumption of only 80W, the highest distance to electrical consumption ratio of any IR illuminator, it is claimed. This efficiency, with low maintenance and Raytec’s five year warranty delivers a yearly cost saving up to £368 when compared to a 500W illuminator, it is claimed. Shaun Cutler, MD of Raytec, says: "end users are increasingly looking for green solutions to reduce their carbon footprint. The RM200 is the most efficient IR illuminator available and in addition to reducing electrical consumption delivers outstanding long life and huge cost savings. It’s a win-win solution for installers and end-users. RM200 is our flagship product but all Raytec illuminators are designed to provide environmentally friendly solutions to delivering premium night-time images with significant electrical savings.” Raytec have produced a guide to help installers calculate the cost savings possible by switching to CCTV lighting.
