Geko long life illuminator line saves energy

Schio, Italy

The Geko is the latest Videotec LED illuminator line providing efficient lighting for standard definition and megapixel cameras, combined with high reliability.
The Geko illuminators respond to all installation lighting need and brighten the entire scene evenly, eliminating hotspots and underexposure, for clear night-time images and secure surveillance of an area. The Gekos provide clear night vision up to 140m, in an indoor or outdoor environment. The range includes models with 850nm and 940nm wavelength with angles of 10°, 30° or 60°.

The Geko illuminators are 8 times more efficient than traditional lighting, using only 12% of the electrical power in standard usage. TheLED light is truly a solid state light: there are no gases, no filaments and no moving parts. It takes 50 incandescent light bulbs or 8 fluorescent lamps to equal the life span of 1 LED light bulb. Moreover the Gekos can operate in an extremely varied temperature range, as low as -50°C up to 60°C and still maintain their long term reliability.

With Videotec's advanced manufacturing capability and Geko's long life span, the relative power used for their production is reduced and therefore reduces the pollution from energy production. With the Geko also lasting 50 times longer than normal bulbs it reduces the quantity of waste ending up in land-fill sites.

A Geko consumes only 6-12W in operation, while conventional high efficiency lighting consume 50-100W making the device both cost effective and it saves energy. In addition, with an average life expectancy of 11 years (less than 6 months for normal bulbs), they make total savings on maintenance and installation a very attractive option.
