LED infrared light technology has been applied to the security industry since 2000 and has a history of 12 years. Although derivative products such as array infrared and dot matrix infrared have appeared on the market, ordinary LED infrared products still occupy most of the infrared market. What makes ordinary LED infrared products so successful in the security industry?
At the early stage of the development of the security industry, when people found that night vision monitoring was needed, the first infrared product was a halogen lamp. In the process of using the halogen lamp, it was found that the halogen lamp has a large volume and a large power consumption, generally from more than 100 watts to more than 1,000 watts, and the working temperature is as high as 800 ℃. The product is easily damaged and the service life is about 1500 hours. It needs to be replaced every two months. Such a short service life forces people to look for better alternative light sources. The short life span, large size, high power consumption, and high price of halogen infrared lamps are destined to be eliminated by the security industry. In this case, the LED infrared emission tube is introduced into the security industry, and its advantages are as follows. ·
The service life of the LED infrared tube reaches 6000 hours (if handled well, the technological level can reach 6000 hours, and the service life of products from small factories is about 3000 hours), and the service life is 4 times that of halogen lamps; ·LED infrared tube The price is very low. Depending on the specifications and quality, the price ranges from a few mao to a few dollars. The earliest infrared cameras generally use 6 LED infrared lights, and the cost will not exceed 20 yuan. The halogen lamp is said to be priced from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, and its price is dozens of times that of LED infrared tubes; ·LED infrared tubes are small in size, and the volume of widely used products is generally ￠6, ￠8, which is convenient for application Infrared camera, and the volume of the halogen lamp is generally ￠10×185mm, and the working temperature is above 800℃. It cannot be applied to infrared cameras in terms of volume or temperature.
Compared with halogen lamps, LED infrared lamps have absolute advantages in terms of lifespan, volume, power consumption, and price. Therefore, LED infrared technology can be quickly applied in the security industry and almost occupy the entire infrared market.
