Historically, it has always been challenging to illuminate extremely large areas from one lighting unit, without suffering from a reduction in distance or a poor spread of light.

The new range of Panoramic illuminators offer a much better spread of light and longer illumination distances due to Raytec designed ultra-efficient light distribution techniques. Panoramic illuminators are ideal for PTZ or dome cameras covering large areas and also when matched with high definition, megapixel cameras fitted with wide angle lenses. The high quality illumination is designed to produce excellent clarity and detail even when zooming in over long distances.

Available in both Infra-red and White-light, all Panoramic LED illuminators utilise holographic lens technology to spread and control the light, creating a softer and more even distribution. Panoramic units feature hot-spot reduction technology (HRT), directing the light where it is most needed to not only deliver longer illumination distances and minimise light waste, but also to provide full scene coverage without hot spots caused by over-exposure.

Panoramic illuminators also feature an adaptive illumination system, which allows the angle of illumination to be quickly and easily adjusted onsite, anywhere from 60-180° to match the specific camera field of view.

According to Raytec Panoramic lighting now makes high performance illumination for both dome/PTZ cameras and megapixel cameras with a wide field of view more affordable, with the ability to achieve higher quality pictures at greater distances.
