JC Infrared Illuminator 4 Led High Power LED IR Array Illuminator IR Lamp Wide Angle for Night Vision CCTV and IP Camera

Very impressive, and under $12. I really didn't have high expectations, just hoped to fill in some of the dark areas my cameras IR wasn't reaching. These little lights did that, and so much more. I order 4, but have only installed 2. I could use a 2nd in the backyard, and it would almost clear as day time, in black & white, of course. As is, I can see movement, and tell if it's the dog, a cat, or opossum (to send the dog out after). Can't attest to how long these will last, or waterproofing (no rain yet). Kind expect that some water will get in through the two screw holes on the sides. Going to put some silicone or teflon goo on the screws, and should be good, maybe see what sort of seal we have on the front cover. The light I put shining down my front driveway turns off occasionally, may need to move it some. Seems that my motion activated lights are the cause, which aren't bright enough to help the cameras, but just enough to fool the IR light. Good to know that these shut off in the daytime, and not running 24/7, another unexpected bonus feature. Would have been nice if they had include some specifications. Not sure how much power these use, and my system is on a UPC, battery only lasts 20 minutes, with monitor on. Mostly, the battery backup, is just to keep the power stable, and short blackout/brownouts, that come during thunderstorms, which isn't good for electronics, bad for recording. I don't see any reason why these won't last for a while, they don't seem to run hot, didn't even feel warm the first couple of nights, when I adjusted the direction a few times, just to see what I could get out of them. I don't know about measuring the exact range of effectiveness, but from my back porch, where on is mounted, it lights up most of the yard, all the way to the fence, 50 feet or so away. Buildings across the ally seem better defined as well. Driveway in front is very brightly lit, 25-30 feet. Street lights haven't worked since Hurricane Irma, but still had that dark area next to my carport. Aside from my waterproof concerns, these are solid, well made, very good value. Case and mount are metal, glass cover seems thick. Cable is thick, seems like good quality as well, hopeful holds up to Florida sun, which is kind of rough on insulation. Money well spent, and would buy a couple more, when I find a good deal on another 16 channel DVR (had do downgrade to 8, after the last one died).

So I want to give a updated review on this light. Yes the one I 1st received was defective, so I went ahead and sent it back for a refund. At that time I had already received a different light from another source and it was working great so Thats why I just returned this light instead of having them replace it. But about a week after returning, the company who sold the defective light contacted me and wanted a chance to make up for it and allow me to see how well their product works. So they sent me a new to test out and let me say this little light works far beeter than I expected! I bought two other large lights from another source before all this with a 100+ leds each and this little four led IR light competes with them to my surprise. So do to the performance of the light and the customer service I rate this light at 5 stars. Hope this helps with your decision. I bought this to use with a Amcrest system with 720p 1mp cmos cameras and I dont know if I got a bad one or not. It does turn on, but it does not cast IR light anywhere near as it claims (at all!) You can see the light directly from the light source while looking on the cameras and it cast light maybe 3ft, more comparable to the light casting you get from your cell phone screen, no joke. And after asking many sources about the proper IR wavelength for my cameras I was told 850nm was what I needed. So I ordered a different IR light (CMVision IR 110- 114led,850nm) and just got it today hooked it up once it was dark and it lit my place up very well! I bought this light Im reviewing now because it was cheap and I still wasn't sure what was the IR wavelength I needed and figured if it works that would be great and I had a place that doesn't need a big light and if it didnt no big deal just send it back, but it left me confused being that I could see the light was coming on but was not putting out as it should. Like I said the other light I got is a huge difference and I believe I mite have got a defective light, because when I 1st turned this light on I could clearly see the red glow around the 4 leds and it was day time with my hands cupped around it, later on when I tried at night the lights came on fairly bright and suddenly dimmed quite a lot.. so idk, hope this info helps you.

I have had two of these working in temperatures from -35 to +35 C since purchase in 2018. Much better than the built-in night vision.

La uso da una settimana con ottimo risultato. Il fascio luminoso è piuttosto concentrato e abbastanza forte da illuminare bene almeno una quindicina di metri. Avevo però bisogno di una maggior diffusione della luce, dovendo illuminare diffusamente un'area inferiore ai 10 metri, per il videocitofono. Ho semplicemente svitato il la parte anteriore che contiene il vetro esterno e ho messo al suo interno una carta velina, preventivamente ritagliata a cerchio, in modo che la luce emessa dai diodi passi attraverso di essa. Questa piccolissima operazione mi ha permesso di illuminare tutta la scena in modo ottimale. Le due foto sono a dimostrazione di quanto detto. Si tenga presente che nella seconda, per via della minore intensità della luce IR concentrata, provoca anche una maggior apertura dell'obbiettivo per cui l'immagine risulta tutta più ricca di dettagli. Aggiornamento: dopo 6 mesi di utilizzo continuo, l'illuminatore funziona ancora perfettamente.

Buen alcance de luz, ayudo mucho en la visión nocturna. Pongo 3 estrellas ya que la publicidad es engañosa, no son 4 piezas (lamparas), son 4 leds, compre 2 pensando que iban a llegar 8.

This little unit is pretty good! Especially for the price. Gives out a good wide angle of illumination with no bright spot. Works fine with my Swann camera.

Funcionan muy bien. La luz no abre mucho pero desde 6 metros ilumina claramanete un area de uno 3 o 4 metros de ancho, ideal para rincones y angulos muertos.
