US manufacturer and supplier of infrared (IR) and white light illuminators and license plate recognition products, 7762 iluminar, is supporting NBC Universal’s The Weather Channel Tornado Track crew.

Featured regularly on The Weather Channel on the road chasing storms, the Tornado Track crew uses a GMC Yukon SUV to check severe weather conditions and report their findings live, on-air and online.

Helping the Tornado Track crew to see the powerful natural phenomenon in the dark is iluminar’s new Q-Ball camera system mounted on the Tornado Track vehicle, The camera has infrared capability, supported by two iluminar super long-range infrared LED lights mounted on the front and each side of the vehicle to give 270 degrees of coverage and allowing the crew to see tornadoes at night.

"We are thrilled to work with NBC Universal and The Weather Channel in their efforts to alert people to the threats of severe and dangerous weather," says Mrs Eddie Reynolds, president and CEO of iluminar Inc. "This is a wonderful venture and we are pleased iluminar infrared lighting is playing a role in keeping people safe and informed."
