VARIO hybrid provides an all-in-one solution, seamlessly combining Raytec’s latest Infra-Red and White-Light LED technology – all housed in a single unit for easy installation and operation. Specifically designed for use with external detectors or alarm inputs, the Infra-Red can be used for general CCTV surveillance and the White-Light can be triggered on alarm to act as a deterrent or to provide additional colour picture information. The unique VARIO beam pattern allows users to precisely match the angle of illumination to the required field of view by simply selecting the required lens insert. Raytec VARIO lenses use hot-spot reduction technology (HRT) and provide a highly diffused elliptical beam shape to deliver light directly to where it is most needed, allowing greater illumination distances, reducing energy wastage and preventing the overexposure of foreground objects. An optional VARIO remote control provides the ability to set-up the illuminator quickly, safely and from ground level, with separate set up for both Infra-Red and White-Light including power levels, photocell sensitivity, timer functions etc. The VARIO LED status indicator provides instant operational feedback on status and performance of the illuminator. A standard VARIO kit includes interchangeable lenses to deliver angles of 10, 35 and 60 degrees out of the box; enough flexibility to cover most applications. Other angles are available on request. VARIO illuminators are supplied complete with bracket and operate directly from a 12-24V input.
