Review: Good results - We are using the following cameras with good results with this light: Camera: IPPTZ-EL2MPL12X-Mini-O, Sensor: 1/3” 2MP Sony Exmor CMOS , Resolution: 2 Megapixel IP, Minimum Illumination: 0.05 LUX Color, 0.005 LUX B&W (no IR lights equipped). Camera: ELI-SIP-MVD21-4R, Sensor: Sony Exmor 1/2.8", Resolution: 2 Megapixel IP, Minimum Illumination: 0.1Lux @ F1.2 (Color) (0 Lux IR LED On) (1 IR equipped good to 19' +/-) Camera: Model PTZ-LX700L12X, Sensor: 1/3” SONY SUPER HAD CCD II, Resolution: 650TVL (Color) / 700TVL (B/W), Minimum lllumination 0.001 Lux. (no IR lights equipped). Camera: Model OD-LX700IR100L2812-W, Sensor: 1’/3” SONY Super HAD II CCD, Resolution: 700 TV Line, Minimum Illumination: 0.001 Lux/F1.2 - O lux (with IR LED ON), IR Distance: 98' +/- (with tt-5X36 PCS Infrared LED). Sensors and minimum illumination for those cameras are the key here I think. I ordered one of these lights to try with our cameras, it was set to work mainly with the IPPTZ-EL2MPL12X-Mini-O camera that was working only with a 70W mercury vapor yard light to fair effect. When backed with this light it brings in good detail easily out to 200 + feet. That is the edge of the tree line of the forest. I am pretty sure it is good for perhaps twice that based on the shadows the light makes on the tree line. This camera does have a very good sensor for low light, even though it is not a IR night light equipped camera. Though this light was set primarily to improve the night viewing for this particular camera, we noticed a great improvement to the IR equipped analog cameras we have overlooking the same area, (PTZ-LX700L12X and OD-LX700IR100L2812-W cameras), and also a 2nd IP camera, (ELI-SIP-MVD21-4R camera). So good in fact we ordered a 2nd light to improve night viewing for other cameras, and I might go for a more so our home is covered on all 4 points of the compass. For now we have the 2 lights set on the west side of our house, and setup about 50' apart side to side. They cover the full west side of our home. That is the direction from which our main problems come from. I picked this model as I read reviews that noted the wider field of the light beam. It works well for us, I would estimate that at 100' out we cover +/- 50' width per light, and the further out the wider the coverage gets. It can be noted that at approximately 100' out our problem neighbor placed a pair of spot lights to counter our cameras, no doubt thinking he can continue to sneak about our yard at night. Surprise, with these new lights in place there are shadows cast from them even next to his lights, only seen by IR capable cameras or the like, but not seen by the naked eye. So perhaps you get an idea of what you gain when looking into the dark beyond what the camera equipped IR lights are capable of working. They cost a bit more, but these lights are worth the extra money in my opinion. They are soundly made, and easy to adjust. They do not use much more power than a incandescent night light, so using several per side of our house will not cost more than leaving the porch light on. They do glow dull red when looked at straight on, but nothing to complain about, and at distance get harder to spot. I had a 940nm IR light having the same number of IR bulbs as this 850nm light, but it did not provide good light for the 850nm camera sensors out much past 50'. Like I said earlier, I have a 70w mercury vapor yard light at the location of the OD-LX700IR100L2812-W camera that was fair out to +/- 80' to 90', and also have a pair of LED 30w spotlight covering my cars and out to about the same distance. But I think I am going to shut down the spot lights as they aren't really needed now, as I can see the shadows of the cars on the ground made by the CMVision IR130 lights. Probably keep the 70w mercury vapor yard light going just so we can see our way around at night. I am thinking that perhaps with the ambient lighting at a minimum, the jerk will think he is safe to sneak about at night again, and with the cameras recording him clearly, we can get him locked in a cage where he belongs, and feel even more secure. I think it would be worth your while to at least try one of these units to see what you can do/get, then move on up from there as you think up new possibilities. Oh, and by the way, we live in the rain forest, like 9' of rain a year here, and so far no problems as far as water, although it has only been a little over a month run time on the longest running one. But it is mounted out past the roof eve. Transformer for the light is inside the pump house the light is mounted on and is connected via a 25' extension cord you can pick up for under $20 made for the 12v line. Just be sure you tape the push connections with electrical tape to water proof them. Good insurance for all the camera connections too I have found.
Review: Very Bright IR Light!...Impressive! - This is a very very bright light for night vision cameras, that can use a 850nm IR illuminator/emitter. I emailed my manufacturers Tech Support to find out if I needed a 850nm, or the 940nm emitter. There reply said my cameras were designed to see IR between 820nm and 870nm, so the 850nm emitter would work perfectly for my needs, and they added that my cameras would not see the 940nm emitter, since thats outside of it's IR optical range. As I said, this one is Very Bright, and I do really like the enclosure, being rated IP66, means it's dust tight/proof, and can take high pressure water jets, from all angles. But don't mistake that for being water proof! If it was rated IP68, or IP69, that would be water proof. The first digit indicates it's resistance to dust, the last digit is the indicator of it's water resistance. You can find that info online in various places. Also under commercial code enclosures. I only have 1 problem with this product, and it's not a big deal to me, so I didn't take any stars away from it's rating. It's regarding the hardware & design of the hardware. The enclosure is made of cast aluminum, and has a top notch finish applied to it. But cast aluminum does NOT hold tight and thin threaded screw hardware. With a very very minimum amount of torque, the screw that holds the fixture on the elbow joint, that has teeth on both halves, for adjustments, it immediately stripped. I'm talking about just a snugging up of the screw, not even considering tightening it yet, because I was checking the angle of the light. The screw itself is made of extremely cheap and soft metal, and it was threaded very fine. Now that with a cast aluminum enclosure, with a tapped hole, well, everything just went to hell, quickly and decisively! Luckily I keep nuts and bolts of all sizes on hand (in large amounts...lol). It was a very quick fix for me, I just got a hardened bolt (10/32), about a 1/4 inch longer than the original, and used a wax insert bolt to tighten it back together. All done. Also, for the mounting plate..."Pre-Drill" the holes, before trying to just screw them in without a pre-drilled hole, or you'll strip out the Phillips head on the screw. Or better yet, either find, or buy some better/harder mounting screws! This is another oversight by the manufacturer. Still, not terribly bothersome to me. That was the only negative I ran across. This could be a major pain in the ass for those who don't have extra pieces and parts on hand, in case of a situation like this. If that were the case for me, I would have been pissed, knowing I would now need to make a trip to the hardware store for a single nut and bolt of good quality, which would probably cost more in gas, to drive into town & back, than the nut and bolt itself. So if this was a problem for others as well, I can understand the 2 and 3 star reviews. This is a nice unit, and would only cost a few cents more, for proper hardware. Pretty silly (and cheap) for a manufacturer, if you ask me! The power supply comes with this unit, so it's basically a mount, plug & play. Very easy! For me, this IR illuminator works excellent! On my cameras, in night vision, this 1 emitter looks like 2-150 watt Halogen flood lights, just oozing out light, everywhere! It's also a very nice and wide angle of light, and it does carry a good distance, but realistically, I think they are a little over confident in there claim of 300 to 400 feet. I can easily see a good 200 feet, possibly more, and like I said, with a nice wide spread. The light is very even in it's distribution of light. It's a true flood light. No hot spots, just a large area full of light. I'll upload a screen shot of the night vision. Well, apparently desertcart isn't posting customer pics anymore, but they are posting your uploaded picks in your own profiles, so to see my uploaded pic of this product throwing light, you'll need to go to my profile and look at it. It's currently at the top, so you don't have to scroll through a bunch of reviews. I do highly recommend this IR emitter to anyone asking.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this lights to use in a batting cage for 3 or 4 hrs ? Or do you have a better led choice around the same price**
A: You can absolutely use these lights in a batting cage....AFTER you purchase a pair of 850nm-responsive night vision goggles. To be safe, I would start with a higher end pair in the $3,000-$4,000 range. Another option is to simply purchase an LED (or other type) light that emits light in the visible spectrum that the human eye can see.

**Q: Anyone know the difference between this and the ir200? same manufacturer, wavelength, and number of leds?**
A: IR130  has tilt and rotation base, however IR200 model only has up and down adjustment.  IR130 has 60 degree infrared flood beam, while IR200 has 45 degree infrared flood beam.

**Q: What is the glow like for this? I'm not wanting to draw a lot of attention to it, so not sure if this is the way to go, or if I need to upgrade to something with 940nm**
A: I own 6 of these over a few years now. they light up your property like it was the 4th of July.......Dont worry about the very minimal red glow , its a deterent in itself , and id say it looks stealthy..cool......They are Great.......the Hermanator   I  B  Back!   And by that i mean back for more. CM vision also stands behind there products...I had an issue on one which quickly became history....no problem with assitance in replacement if necessary...which is also unlikely.!  3 Cheers for CM Vision !!

**Q: For those using this as light therapy. How do you use it in terms of duration and distance from body?**
A: Hey Jeff. In short, you want to do it at 12" away as there is about 17mW/cm2 at that distance (I used my TES-1333 light meter to determine that). If you put it right up against your skin you'd receive way too much at 100mW/cm2. And as for duration, you want to do about 8 minutes per body part (cm2 of skin), which will be about 8J of energy. This dosage and power density is modeled after the NovoThor $120,000 red light therapy bed! Hope that helps! :)
