An illumination distance of 30 feet is possible when used with a black-and-white security CCC camera. Total output power is 390 mw minimum and 500 mw typical at IF = 300 mA. Peak emission is stated to be 880 nm. The illuminator consists of nine high-current capacity LED chips connected in series on a beryllium-oxide substrate, and a TO-66 package provides ample heat dissipation.
