Univivi Infrared Illuminator, 850nm 12 LEDs 90 Degree Wide Angle IR Illuminator for Night Vision, Waterproof LED Infrared Light for CCTV Security Camera, with Power Adapter, Black

must have for IR slow motion cameras.

Helps old IR cameras pick up local meth heads lurking about.

Great floodlights but no EU adapter. Have to make extra costs to buy these. Shipping was fast thow.

It does have more a spot light spread. But that is okay because I need to see the street in front of my house better. I can see traffic fairly well at night. Clear view of my fence line and mailbox. Yeah is glows red if you are looking for such things. But about all devices with IR lighting can be seen at certain angles. So far so good so will see how it goes.

After setting up my first 12 bulb floodlight by resting it against a window that had a RING doorbell outside the back door, I purchased 5 more. The first one that is still at this window, I monitored it for weeks for anything that may be a problem and cause it to overheat and found nothing even a slight bit warm for the amount of unseeable light it produced. Now I have 9 RING cameras with these floodlights that gives me incredible 360-degree surveillance of the main house and all outbuildings. This photo shows the location of one of these floodlights mounted under the top deck railing illuminating hundreds of feet into our back forest. I think you can imagine what 6 of these can do without an intruder knowing that they are being monitored. Simply amazing the advancement of night vision cameras and supplemental infrared lighting.

Item arrived well packaged and undamaged. Nothing was loose inside the metal housing of the light. I have had a few Chinese flood lights like this before with loose items rolling around inside which is unsettling. This one was solid and felt like decent quality. Anyhow, everything works on it. All of the IR LEDs work. I am using this IR light to supplement the built in IR of the Nest Outdoor Cam, which is very weak. It worked better than expected. The coverage in my backyard is wide without any noticeable hotspots. It makes for a very nice flood IR light experience providing light as far back as about 100 feet and wide as about also 100 feet. It came with a power supply that I plugged into an outdoor power outlet which is about three feet away from the light. I noticed after about 7 hours of usage that it does not get hot to the touch. Just barely warm to the touch. The light sensor works perfectly at turning the IR light on at dusk and off at dawn. So this is after using it for about a week. I will provide an update after a few months in our South Dakota winter to see how it holds up. Fingers crossed. At night, you do clearly see the gentle glow of 12-red led lights. Any burglar would notice this and probably be confused by what it is. It looks kind of Sci-Fi-ish. So far it is well worth the $39 I paid and I am pleased more than I thought I would be.

Updated: Seller did replace and I remain optimistic.Died after about a month. I really liked the brightness and light coverage. I thought I had a winner, but after about 30 days, it just quit. Cycling the power turns the LEDs on for about 5 seconds, then they go out. Nothing feels warm and I carefully waterproofed connections and seams.

The media could not be loaded. I uploaded a video to show what it looks like. You can see the floodlight on the left hand side of the video. With the floodlight, you can see everything perfectly clearly. Without the floodlight, you would have barely been able to see the coyotes walking by. I tried to upload before and after videos (the coyotes walk by almost every night) but Amazon only allows one video per review. The shadows on the left are caused by the fruit trees that block the light from the flood light. The wall is about 75 feet away so I am not pushing the distance that this floodlight can handle at all but it gives you an example of the power. Installation is not difficult but I have stucco walls which make the drilling part a little more difficult. It is helpful if you have 2 people but not required.
