Raytec VAR2-HY8-1 Long-Range Hybrid Illuminator, 850nm

For security teams that demand flexible, high-performance scene lighting, the Raytec VAR2-HY8-1 Long-Range Hybrid Illuminator delivers both covert infrared monitoring and visible white-light deterrence in one integrated unit. This Raytec hybrid illuminator uses PLATINUM Elite twin-core SMT LED technology and an interchangeable lens system with Hot-spot Reduction Technology to provide even, long-range illumination—covering up to 290m in 850nm IR mode and 144m in white-light mode. The result is cleaner, more usable video for surveillance, perimeter monitoring and critical infrastructure protection while reducing the need for separate IR and white-light fixtures. Installers and integrators benefit from simple commissioning: switch modes via a volt-free alarm input or use the optional handheld remote to program settings on site. Energy-efficient LEDs and rugged design minimize downtime and lifecycle costs for CCTV and video surveillance systems. Ideal for perimeter security, transportation hubs, utilities and large-scale monitoring projects—specify the VAR2-HY8-1 to enhance detection, capture vital detail at night, and provide instant visible deterrence when required.

• Dual-mode IR and white-light in a single unit reduces hardware, simplifies installs and lets you switch from covert monitoring to visible deterrence on demand
• Long-range performance: up to 290m IR (850nm) and 144m white-light to capture clear images across perimeters and long corridors
• Interchangeable lenses with Hot-spot Reduction Technology (HRT) deliver even illumination where it matters most, improving camera image quality
• PLATINUM Elite twin-core SMT LEDs and energy-saving design lower maintenance and operating costs while ensuring reliable, long-life illumination
• Easy integration and commissioning via volt-free switch, alarm inputs and optional handheld remote for fast setup and smart lighting control
