Ok, I got the basics of IR.... 3 ranges from near-visible to thermal... the wave length affects quality and distance, blah blah...
What I want to know is why there are so few IR options out there. Why only LED? Where are the IR floodlights, and standard socketed IR lights? I don't want to pay $150 for a stupid light that may break or burn out when I should be able to get a $25 light bulb to do the same things. How about IR Rope lights or strips that could be used to line the house?
I basically would like to illuminate my property (small) with IR light, then use low light cameras... I have had a couple cameras become lame because their IR bulbs burned out... I want to seperate my lighting and cameras...
Now I found a page or two that talks about using IR film to cover floodlights, but if it is that easy, let me buy some pre-covered...
Does anyone have any good links or info to alternative IR lighting?
Thanks,
Vaughn
