Infrared LED narrow beam targets security

The Dragon Dome LED SFH 4783 uses a focused beam high-power infrared LED (IRED) to achieve a range of more than 100 m for security surveillance. It measures 11 x 6 x 5.7-mm and does not need an external lens. The 850-nm wavelength suits security surveillance tasks such as closed circuit television.

The Dragon Dome LED is the first high-power infrared LED that emits its light within an angle of ±12°. From a current of 1 A, it achieves a total radiated power of 430 mW and a radiant intensity of 2.3 W/steradian.
