Mini IR Night Vision Light Infrared Photography Light for Video Camera Camcorder Built-in Rechargeable Battery with 3 Cold Shoe Mount for Vlog Video Recording

This worked exactly how it was advertised and was exactly what I needed. Only $20, decent battery life, easy to charge because it has a simple USB-C cord (and the camera I use it for also uses USB-C so that’s great) and also improves how far the camera can see by at least 95% from what I can tell. Amazing.

Some things I noticed. I test this just with my smartphone it illuminated a tiny bit. (Probably has an IR filter so don't get much light.)I tried this with two cameras with their own IR lights, and wow is this thing bright. It illuminated a 18ft by 12ft room or so with no problem at at.So folks complaining of it being dim maybe they got a bad unit or maybe using a device that has an IR filter or no direct IR support. I noticed even on a camera that supported IR I had to put it in IR mode before I could see the light well.I haven't used it for long yet but the initial test was great.

Work pretty good if you leave them on you get about 2 1/2 hours of constant light. They charge in a little UBS port. The light power is adjustable through a dial.

I'd like to start this review off by informing everyone looking to purchase this IR Illuminator to light up dark areas for filming by stating the following. THIS IS ONLY FOR IR COMPATABLE CAMERAS AND VIDEO CAMERAS NOT FOR EVERYDAY CAMERAS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN CONVERTED TO IR OR LACK THE NIGHTVISION COMPATABILITY.That being said here are my thoughts on this little light.Pros:-Bright and adjustable illumination-Okay battery life, about 2 hours on high-Can charge while in use from a battery pack or from wall-Very light weight, doesn't make carrying bar top heavy at allCONS-Unknown longevityI bought this IR illuminator to boost the night vision range of my IR CONVERTED CANON ELPH130IS point and shoot camera and night vision camcorder that already has the night vision compatibility. I am part of a local Paranormal Group and I've used this several times on our investigations with fantastic results. Normally the little IR on my camcorder did the job okay but this little light boosts and brightens the surrounding area very well for its size. I've attached a few photos of a little set up that I use for walking around and navigating the environment. Now for the low price I'm very happy with the results! We will defiantly use these in the future, they are very light weight and can be used for about 4 hours on medium and about 2 hours on full brightness for those big areas. I imagine getting a few more of these and a mounting bracket will work fantastic. My only CON is the unknown longevity of the light itself, its run for at least 24hrs total over several investigations while being plugged into a power bank. So far there are NO dead LEDS so that's a plus.In conclusion, this is a great little illuminator to complement other IR devices or just a standalone to fill in other dark areas. I don't have anything really bad to say about it, its a good quality light for the price. Happy Hunting!

I was skeptical about this product after reading some of the bad reviews, but it's actually a really great infrared light! I assume all the negative reviews did not have a full spectrum camera to use the light with. I saw a lot of "this only lit up my hand a few inches away" reviews and yes, without the proper camera that is all it will do. With my full spectrum camera it lit up my entire living room no problem. Note that it only lit up the room on the camera screen. It will not actually light a room. I think for the price this infrared light is definitely worthbit and I live that I can add more on if needed. I haven't had it that long so I'm not sure about battery life yet, but will update my review if needed.

The product listing states that the camera is waterproof multiple times. The included directions make it abundantly clear it should not be used in wet conditions or around water. The charging port is fully exposed making it unusable around water. The camera feels horribly cheap.

These work great for my handheld cameras. Definitely helps brighten up the built-in IR, also it increases the distance that my cameras are able to see in the dark.

Works ok but could be a lot better...not great quality either
