Hi,

I have a question:

I am looking to get an LED IR light to work with my Sony NightShot feature. I get confused with the 700, 800, 900 nm wavelength thingy....which wavelengthworks best with the Sony NightShot?

Are there any handheld flashlight type LED Light available?

Thanks!

The human eye cuts off about 850nm-880nm; anything lower than that - and people will see the light
Most CCD cameras are very sensitive to that wavelength

We make a 20x LED adapter for the 3D Maglite
MC850 and MC880

Thanks!!!! So about 900nm would be hard to see but my camera will see?

I'll check out your site.

Just checked out your site, I have some questions if you don't mind. I'm looking at the 20x LED adaptor, 880nm ir and 375 UV.

What color is the adaptor? Is it regulated?

Thanks!
