Black Diamond technology is precision engineered for high performance Infrared illumination.
Black Diamond is specifically designed to produce high-fidelity Infrared illumination, doubling the achievable illumination range and delivering superior image quality. Black Diamond is precision engineered for widened beam patterns up to 135Ί, achieving the perfect fit for speed dome, pan-tilt and mega pixel surveillance applications.
The Super LED Black Diamond is built on Derwents patented, ground-breaking Cosec technology, enabling LED-driven even Illumination both across a scene and depth-wise, eliminating all hotspots.
Super LED Black Diamond requires only 120W to deliver evenly distributed Infrared light to distances of 300m (985ft).
With its low power consumption and a LED life well in excess of 5 years, Super LED delivers real savings for the user in terms of maintenance and running costs.
Super LED Black Diamond holds a certified IP68 rating with vacuum sealed iso-pressure control and corrosion proof fittings for use in the harshest of environments.
