JC Infrared Illuminator, 20 LEDs 90 Degree Wide Angle IR Illuminator for Night Vision 50meter,Waterproof LED Infrared Flood Light Black

IT SAID THEY IT WAS WIDE & THAT IT WAS 50 METERS BUT AT 30 METERS IT DOES NOT WORK VERY WELL AT ALL

Fiz um teste com algumas câmeras para ver se iluminava a área, não passou no teste sendo um IR, pois parece que são ledes vermelhos a simular IR.Não corresponde ao descrito na ficha técnica.

See the attached image. Ignore the left side, the patio is getting lots of help from other cameras. Look only on the right side of the image. See that round lit up area? That's this lamp. Without this lamp, that spot is essentially pitch black. So the lamp makes it visible. Figure it's shining out about 120-130 feet in this pic.On one hand, it's definitely not a wide angle. The camera is wide angle, and it's mounted right near the light, but the lamp is not nearly as wide angle as the camera. It's only covering about half the camera's field of view, if that.On the other hand, in this particular application, I really only needed help for about half the camera's view. So this lamp worked out perfectly. And it's doing a good job of lighting up a very dark place.Keep in mind, too, that the wider the angle, the less intense the light is going to be. The trade-off this one makes is excellent for what I needed in this spot. I'm very happy with it for that reason.One note on the power for this lamp. I tried to piggy-back off the camera's power, via a 1:2 power splitter, but that didn't work. The lamp would come on just fine. But as soon as it got dark and the camera went into night mode and kicked on it's own LED's, the voltage would drop, which made the camera reset. Which of course made the voltage come back up. Once the camera came back up, it would again try to turn on it's own LED's, and reset again. So it was just caught in a loop of constantly resetting and restarting.But I didn't have AC power handy at this spot, and I didn't really want to run it there. So I tried a 100 foot extension for the 12V power for the lamp. I actually just used an extra camera cord and left the BNC side unused, because it's a lot cheaper than an actual 12V power extension cable. Well, it works just fine. I can detect no difference in the lamp's performance with the long 12V extension, as opposed to running power out to the lamp via an AC extension cord. Running 12V out there was much easier and cheaper and safer, and the lamp performs the same.

I put this next to a camera pointing in the same direction expecting a bright picture but it really made no difference vs the built in IR in the camera.

I have this side by side with a outdoor camera. This thing is definitely more like a spotlight (maybe 45 deg? ) than a floodlight, but thats awesome. It lights up all the way down the street, at least 240ft, probably more like 260ft. I would highly recommend this light for LONG DISTANCE night time IR illumination. I'm not sure why so many people are giving this a bad review. Its a great light and very inexpensive.

The electrical specs on this unit are vague. However, the matching power supply is rated 12 volts, 3 amps (12 x 3 = 36 watts). 36 watts is a pretty powerful illuminator. While testing it, I noticed that it barely got warm. My experience is that powerful LEDs generate a lot of heat.I hooked it up to my meter and measured less than 1/2 amp, not 3 amps. This won't do for my purposes. The unit it replaced actually used 3 amps and the performance difference was dramatic. So the physical size and heat sink disguises weak, underpowered LEDs. I paid for 36 watts. What I got was less than 6. Buyer beware.Sending it back.
