36-LED 850nm IR (Infrared) Panel

36-LED Infrared Illuminator with Light Sensor

850nm Infrared Emitter

Super-bright circular array using 38 high-intensity 850nm IR LEDs and appropriate drive circuitry. The real magic is your CCD video camera. CCD sensors are sensitive to IR light that you can't see. The IR illuminator lights the scene with infrared light, and the camera sees in low-light conditions. The small size allows easy hiding in clocks, smoke detectors, pictures, or any object you can think of. Place a piece of smoked plexiglass in front (it looks clear to IR), and you’ve hidden your IR light source. The whole array will illuminate like what you'd expect of a bright flashlight. The IR light generated from this panel is completely invisible to the human eye. There is no red glow indicating the panel is on. Great for covert surveillance applications.

Our 36-LED IR Panel uses high-output 850nm 60° LEDs mounted on a 53mm (2.1") diameter board with an inner 19mm (0.8") hole (used for mounting a camera or lens). These are the highest-quality infrared LEDs with a slight red glow (all 850nm LEDs have a slight red glow). The panel has a working distance of approximately 8-12m (26’ to 39’) in ideal conditions. The board also includes an onboard light sensor (CDS cell). It will only illuminate the LEDs when the surrounding area is dark.

Power requirements for the board are 12v to 13v DC and draw approximately 250mA at 12v. The power draw of the board is only 2mA when in standby mode.

Board comes assembled and tested with a 14cm (5.5") power connection cable.
