Accidentally went through red light

A roundabout with part tiem signals. I go through the first once they change to green, but then I think the next lot was a lot closer than I thought and I wrongly must have thought (only explanation) these lights were facing towards another set of slip roads. There were no cars going when I went through but they were definitely red.

How many seconds into red could I have gone through, I know if you're lots of seconds into its a big fine/lots of points, no camera though. Wasn't familiar with the roundabout

You can't always see the cameras btw so don't be surprised if you get something through the post.
It's usually £100 fixed penalty and 3 points.

No there's definitely no cameras, I know that much. I was more thinking a dashcam.
And I feel like it might have been too long for that and SJPN?

That was the location. Like I said when I went through them the lights are red, but there was no traffic coming

I know you said no cameras so with that in mind you should be fine however there is this site which may be useful for some

if you are convinced there are no cameras then i am sure you will be fine... live and learn etc.

In my defence, looking back I think the reason I might not have seen it is because it is obscured by a tree, I was in the rightmost so only the light on the left would have been visible. Who knows. My short term memory is terrible.
