Security lighting product firm Derwent will showcase illumination technology at this year’s IFSEC exhibition.
Combining infrared technology and product design, Derwent’s AEGIS illuminators answer, the company says, long standing performance related issues identified by the security industry.
AEGIS is a LED infrared illuminator designed to compensate for LED degradation over time. The optical output of typical LED illuminator will degrade by up to 10 per cent within the first few months of operation and continue to degrade during the operational life of the illuminator. A serious performance related issue identified by security specifiers, consultants, and end users alike, LED degradation results in poor light output, reduced image quality and reduced illumination range.
AEGIS illuminators feature a built-in microprocessor which controls and adjusts light output to automatically compensate for LED degradation and guarantee a constant level of lighting performance for the life of the illuminator.
AEGIS also incorporates Black Diamond, a micro-refractive lens technology that bends and shapes light for up to 220m (720ft) of even IR illumination and widened beam patterns of up to 120 degrees. Black Diamond enables even illumination by directing light to the foreground and background of the cameras field of view, for night-time images free from the hotspots and over exposure common with other IR illuminators. An innovative 12 VDC / 24 VAC Power-On-Board(tm) feature can eliminate the need for a separate power supply unit, for easier, more aesthetically pleasing installations.
Derwent will launch its AEGIS White Light illuminator at IFSEC 2008; the AEGIS range will be showcased by Derwent on Stand 16045, Hall 20 at this year’s IFSEC exhibition, Birmingham NEC, May 12 to 15. Further information is available from:
