Sources of Light

Sources of Light

Incandescent Bulbs• 10% efficient – 90% heat

Halogen Bulb• Halogen 15% efficient – 85% heat• Extremely hot

• Both expensive to operate• Both expensive to maintain

Sources of Light

Fluorescent Lamps

• 40% efficient – 60% heat• Lasts 10-20 times longer than

normal bulb• Produces a “flicker”• Contains mercury

Sources of Light

HID Lamps

• 60-80% efficient – 20-40% heat• Good colour rendition except low

pressure sodium• Slow start up

Sources of Light

LEDs

• 80-90% efficient – 10-20% heat• Fastest growing lighting solution• Extremely low running costs• Extremely long life• Durable and Insensitive to

vibration

Sources of Light

NEW: SMT LED Technology

• All advantages of LEDs +• More robust• Better thermal management• Allows higher power• Uniform illumination

Infra-Red or White-Light

Infra-Red or White-Light

Infra-Red(700+ nm)

• Covert illumination for CCTV• No light pollution• Long Distance illumination• Used with mono or D/N camera

• 715-730nm - visible red glow• 815-850nm - faint red glow• 940-950nm - invisible

Infra-Red or White-Light

White-Light(400-700nm)

• Illuminate an area for CCTV• Improve the lighting level of an

area for key personnel• Provide a welcoming

environment• Deter crime by illuminating a

secure area• Used with colour camera

How to Specify CCTV Lighting

1. Infra-Red or White-LightThe purpose of the system governs which type of light to use

2. Set Max Angletoo narrow creates a bright spot

too wide wastes light and power

Setting Angle for Vari-focal lenses

3. Set Max DistanceAs angle increases distance decreases

Always consider distance after deciding the angle needed

4. Camera and Lens Considerations

Camera• Sensitivity• Spectral Response• CCD Size

Lens• F-Stop• Transmission

NB: General Guidelines Only

Specifying Lighting for Domes

There are 3 Possible Solutions:– Wide Angle Lighting– Target Area Illumination– Local Area Illumination

Only wide angle illumination can be used to cover the camera’s full range of movement

Specifying Lighting for Domes

Wide Angle Lighting

Evaluating Ongoing Costs• Traditional bulbs are expensive and LED’s offer huge savings

Potential Saving

1 unit £386 £194 £18 £368

10 units £3,860 £1,940 £180 £3,680

20 units £7,720 £3,880 £360 £7,360

50 units £19,300 £9,700 £900 £18,400

100 units £38,600 £19,400 £1,800 £36,800

Evaluating Ongoing Costs

• Potential saving on 1 illuminator of £368 per year• Over ten years this is a potential saving of £3,680 for 1

illuminator

• Potential saving on 100 illuminators of £36,800 per year• Over ten years this is a potential saving of £368,000 for

100 illuminators

REMEMBER: LED’s also provide increased site security
