Fully Integrated Lighting and Housing Solution
VARIO Lighthouse Kit (VLK) is a fully integrated lighting and housing solution designed for easy camera integration,
quick and easy mounting with the ability to mount up to two IP or analogue cameras.
VLK provides two integrated VARIO LED illuminators, available in Infra-Red, White-Light or Hybrid. Lighting and
cameras can be used together for a variety of applications including CCTV, ANPR/LPR and thermal. The VLK
Control Interface delivers the highest level of flexibility and control for meeting exact operational requirements for
outstanding 24/7 performance. Lighting can be easily configured for activation via photocell or on demand via
camera or external input (e.g. on detection of motion). Lighting on demand delivers real savings through reduced
electrical consumption and when using White-Light provides a powerful, visible deterrent. The integrated photocell
can be used to trigger switching of camera day/night mode in conjunction with the illuminators.
VLK provides integrated bracketry for easy mounting. It is cable managed and pre-wired with power/aux cable and
CAT5e cable. PoE for the cameras is available using an external PoE source (not supplied). An optional VARIO
PSU is available to provide 24V AC/DC and the option for Cat5e termination.
VARIO illuminators offer interchangeable lenses with angles of 10, 35 and 60 degrees out of the box. Other angles
are available on request. The interchangeable lenses, incorporating VARIO’s hot-spot reduction technology (HRT),
provide the flexibility to easily alter the output angle of illumination whilst maximizing performance and efficiency.
VLK also offers Adaptive Illumination™ for even greater flexibility to adapt the horizontal beam angle.
An optional VARIO remote control provides the ability to set-up the illuminators quickly and safely from ground level.

Designed for a variety of uses. Ideal for CCT V, ANPR/LPR, machine
vision and thermal camera applications.
Lighting solutions to suit all requirements.
Flexible set up enables the user to achieve exact application
requirements. Easily configured camera and lighting integration.
Lighting triggered on demand via camera, detector or alarm – and
many more integration scenarios.
Easy mounting and installation, quick and convenient to wire and set up
Angle of illumination can be easily, quickly and precisely adjusted by
changing the VARIO holographic lens insert, to match the specific
camera field of view.
HRT delivers a highly diffused, elliptical beam shape to help cameras
achieve superior images at night and generate longer illumination
distances, whilst reducing light and energy wastage and preventing the
overexposure of foreground objects.
Allows set up quickly and safely from ground level and provides access
to advanced set up features. Reduces both cost and time of installation.
