Sources of Light
6
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

7
Sources of Light

• Fluorescent Lamps
• 40 efficient 60 heat
• Lasts 10-20 times longer than normal bulb
• Produces a flicker
• Contains mercury

8
Sources of Light

• HID Lamps
• 60-80 efficient 20-40 heat
• Good colour rendition except low pressure sodium
• Slow start up

9
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

10
Sources of Light

• NEW SMT LED Technology
• All advantages of LEDs
• More robust
• Better thermal management
• Allows higher power
• Uniform illumination

11
Infra-Red or White-Light
12
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

13
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

14
How to Specify CCTV Lighting

• Infra-Red or White-Light
• The purpose of the system governs which type of
  light to use

15

• Set Max Angle
• too narrow creates a bright spot
• too wide wastes light and power

16

• Setting Angle for Vari-focal lenses

17

• Set Max Distance
• As angle increases distance decreases
• Always consider distance after deciding the
  angle needed

18

1. Camera and Lens Considerations

• Camera
• Sensitivity
• Spectral Response
• CCD Size

• Lens
• F-Stop
• Transmission

19
How to Specify CCTV Lighting

• Infra-Red or White-Light
• Set Max Angle
• Set Max Distance
• Camera and Lens Considerations

20

NB General Guidelines Only
24
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 cameras full range of movement
25
Specifying Lighting for Domes

• Wide Angle Lighting

26
Evaluating Ongoing Costs

• Traditional bulbs are expensive and LEDs offer
  huge savings

Mains Driven Bulb Low Voltage Halogen Bulb LED RAYMAX and RAYLUX
Electrical Consumption 500W 200W 80W
Cost of Consumption 110 44 18
Average Bulb Life 5 months 8 months 10 years expected
Bulb changes per year 2.4 1.5 N/A
Approx Bulb List Price 75 60 N/A
Cost of Bulbs per year 180 90 N/A
Yearly Labour Cost 96 60 N/A
Total Yearly Operational Cost 386 194 18
Based upton 4,400 hours per year at 5p kw/hr
Labour costs calculated at 40 per bulb
27
Evaluating Ongoing Costs
Operational Cost Per Year Operational Cost Per Year Operational Cost Per Year Operational Cost Per Year Operational Cost Per Year
Mains Driven Bulb Low Voltage Halogen Bulb LED RAYMAX RAYLUX 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
28
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 LEDs also provide increased site
  security
