basically the key to everything is the long range lens on the torch which focuses the red light into a tighter beam which goes further!

 

this set up IS better than the deben max torch with a red filter in terms of light power. i know because i own one and now dont use it.

 

hope you like

may i add the real trick to the set up would be to get the 800lm one and it comes in verry handy for lamping with the lurchers aswell as when your shooting.... also they have ajustable focus beam which is great.... i have tried to tell people about this for around a year and the few who have listened are not dissapointed

Scott, I don't want to hijack your thread, but wondered what lamp you used / would suggest when using your camcorder as nightvision??

 

Lamp looks great by the way

any powerful IR illuminator for e.g. NP1000AP

 

i have a deben max with an IR filter but not sure how powerful it is with the camcorder

hi would it be ok with an infa red filter to use for night vision with camcorder

No.

 

The LED emits in a very limited band of wavelengths. They don't produce a lot of IR radiation (heat) so you wouldn't get much passing an IR filter.
