Product Overview
Built for traffic monitoring, checkpoint management and perimeter surveillance installations, the Hikvision DS-TL2002CI is an IR LED continuous supplement light designed to provide additional infrared illumination for compatible ITS and surveillance camera deployments. Featuring 28 lamp beads and an aluminium alloy housing, it delivers ongoing infrared lighting output suited to vehicle monitoring points, roadway lanes, access control entries, car parks and gate positions where supplementary night-time illumination is required. It uses continuous IR output rather than a flash or strobe approach, making it a practical choice where consistent scene lighting is preferred for steady image capture. The aluminium alloy housing supports installation in professional outdoor infrastructure environments. This model is best specified when a compatible camera system needs supplementary IR coverage in low-light conditions without introducing visible white light into the monitored area.
Key Capabilities
Continuous IR Illumination
Unlike flash or strobe lighting, the DS-TL2002CI provides steady infrared output, which supports more consistent image capture for compatible cameras monitoring roadways, vehicle lanes and entry points over extended periods.
28 Lamp Beads
The 28-bead LED configuration distributes infrared light across the target scene, helping compatible cameras maintain usable image quality in low-ambient or night-time monitoring conditions.
Aluminium Alloy Housing
The aluminium alloy body provides a durable structure suited to professional traffic infrastructure and outdoor surveillance installations where the light is exposed to demanding environmental conditions over time.
Invisible Infrared Output
Because the DS-TL2002CI emits infrared rather than visible white light, it supplements camera visibility at night without creating glare or drawing attention at monitored vehicle lanes, gates or checkpoints.
Best For
- ITS and Traffic Monitoring: Compatible with intelligent traffic system camera installations requiring supplementary IR lighting at roadway lanes, toll points and vehicle monitoring locations.
- Vehicle Entry and Exit Points: Suitable for entrances, exits and checkpoints where night-time vehicle image capture needs consistent infrared support from a fixed continuous light source.
- Car Parks and Access Roads: Practical for low-light vehicle areas where compatible cameras require additional IR illumination and visible light is not appropriate or preferred.
- Gate and Perimeter Surveillance Points: A useful addition to gates, fence lines and boundary monitoring positions using compatible Hikvision ITS or surveillance cameras.
Why Choose the DS-TL2002CI
The DS-TL2002CI addresses a specific requirement that many standard camera deployments cannot solve on their own: continuous infrared supplementary lighting for ITS and surveillance applications where the existing ambient light level is insufficient for consistent image capture. The 28-lamp bead configuration and continuous output mode distinguishes it from strobe or flash-based supplement lights, which are suited to different capture scenarios. The aluminium alloy housing makes it appropriate for professional outdoor infrastructure rather than a lightweight indoor accessory. Specifying this light requires confirming camera compatibility, the required lighting distance, mounting angle, power supply arrangement and whether continuous IR is the correct illumination mode for the site. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-TL2002CI suits installations where the camera alone cannot deliver adequate night-time coverage and a visible light source is not a workable option.
Buyer Decision Tips
Compatibility First: The DS-TL2002CI is a supplementary accessory, not a standalone system. Before ordering, confirm the target camera model supports external IR supplement lighting and that the DS-TL2002CI’s output angle, IR distance and power requirements match the specific installation point. This light has a 70-day lead time, so early project planning is important.
Illumination Mode Selection: Continuous IR illumination suits applications where steady scene lighting is preferred throughout the monitoring period. If the site requires a triggered flash response or visible light output, a different supplement light type should be specified instead.

Ideal Use Cases
Traffic Lane Monitoring
Deploy alongside compatible ITS cameras at roadway lanes where continuous IR illumination is needed to support vehicle image capture during low-light or night-time hours without visible light interference.
Checkpoint and Barrier Entry
Suitable for manned and automated checkpoints, boom gates and controlled access entries where the 28-bead IR output supplements compatible cameras covering approaching vehicles.
Car Park Night Coverage
Practical for multi-level or open-air car parks where compatible cameras require additional infrared lighting to maintain consistent image capture across vehicle areas after dark.
Gate and Perimeter Support
The continuous IR output and aluminium alloy housing make this a practical lighting accessory for outdoor gate positions and perimeter monitoring points using compatible surveillance cameras.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your compatible ITS or surveillance camera installation requires continuous infrared supplementary lighting and the 28-lamp bead configuration, aluminium alloy housing and IR output mode suit the confirmed installation requirements.
- Choose a different light if: The application requires visible white light output, a triggered flash or strobe illumination mode, a specific IR wavelength or beam angle not confirmed for this model, or a supplement light designed for a different camera type or product family.
- Plan lead time carefully: This model carries a 70-day lead time. Confirm compatibility and order well ahead of the project installation date to avoid programme delays.
FAQs
- What does the DS-TL2002CI actually do?
The DS-TL2002CI is a supplementary IR LED light designed to provide additional infrared illumination for compatible ITS, traffic and surveillance camera systems. It does not capture images itself. Its role is to supplement the lighting environment so that compatible cameras can produce better results in low-light or night-time conditions.
- Why does this model use continuous illumination instead of a flash?
Continuous illumination provides a steady, consistent lighting output across the monitored scene rather than a burst triggered by vehicle detection or an event. This suits installations where cameras need constant scene visibility throughout the monitoring period rather than a moment-specific capture response.
- How many lamp beads does the DS-TL2002CI have?
The DS-TL2002CI is fitted with 28 lamp beads. These distribute infrared output across the target area to support compatible cameras monitoring vehicle lanes, entrances, car parks and similar locations in low-light conditions.
- Is the DS-TL2002CI suitable for outdoor installation?
The aluminium alloy housing is designed for professional installation environments including outdoor traffic infrastructure, vehicle monitoring points and perimeter positions. Before installing outdoors, confirm the mounting arrangement, cable routing, power supply protection and environmental exposure for the specific site.
- Will this light work with any Hikvision camera?
The DS-TL2002CI is categorised as an ITS supplement light and is intended for use with compatible camera systems. Camera compatibility must be confirmed before specifying this accessory. Not every Hikvision camera model is designed to work alongside external supplement lights of this type.
- What lead time should I expect for this product?
The DS-TL2002CI carries a 70-day lead time. Projects requiring this supplement light should factor this into procurement planning well ahead of the installation date. Enquiries can be directed to Security Wholesalers to confirm current availability and order timelines before committing to project schedules.
