October 10, 2007 - LED degradation results in poor infrared performance, grainy snowy images and reduced illumination range, in fact, this can be as much as 20% the specified range in as little as six months. To combat this Derwent engineers have developed Constant Light™* technology, which automatically compensates for this natural degradation to deliver a constant level of lighting performance throughout the life of the illuminator, guaranteed for five years, ensuring the lamp continues to deliver the specified optical output levels throughout its operational life.
Another industry first is the inclusion of a 12V DC / 24V AC power supply unit (PSU) contained directly within the IR head, allowing for easier installation with no unsightly PSU boxes to detract from the aesthetics of the environment.
AEGIS illuminators feature Derwent’s award winning Black Diamond™ technology, providing High-Fidelity™ Even Illumination across the whole scene and the highest quality surface mount LEDs to ensure extra long life.
