2X 48 LED IR Illuminator Lamp CCTV Infrared Security Camera Light Night Vision

What can I say about this lamp - Brilliant in what it does and brilliant in night vision!I ended up buying two sets - with one set for spare - and I am using them to enhance the existing Infrared capability on my Canon XA20 night vision camcorder - just made up a bracket that fits on the underside of the camcorder - then fastened one of these lamps on either side of the lens and then connect up, using a 'splitter' cable, and plug into a Li-ion 6800mAh battery - which should last around 3 hours when fully charged.Tested the unit in my back garden at night and the results were truly amazing - I thought that I would get to round halo's from each lamp - but nothing of the sort - ideal for outside broadcast paranormal investigations!

I bought 2 of these and they have both failed after about a year of use. Slowly the LEDs fail until none are working. Not something to buy if you want a long life.

I needed to put some additional infra red lights under out caravan to video our hedgehogs as they visit the food every night.I found these being advertised and the description fitted what I needed, so I ordered the pair.They arrived within the time stated and were well packed.I made up a bracket and power lead to plug in the caravan power socket, I was amazed how the camera image improved.The video was also very good due to the extra 'lighting'., they are very well made and only come on as it gets darker, an added bonus.I would recommend these, as now they will be re-used to light for the CCTV cameras.Thank you, Norman

Worked ok but didn't improve visibility much just a tiny bit

Only one night out in the rain and they both have 6mm of water inside them. Fortunately I am an expert at waterproofing electrical things and it will take me less effort with some silicone sealant to repair them than it will to unistall them and return them. Unless you are equally expert at waterproofing then don't buy them.

UPDATE : 12 July 2016. In response to a comment, I am uploading two photos. One shows the picture just using the camera's built in LEDs and the other is with two of the BW Lamps turned on as well. The camera has tried to compensate for the different light levels but look at the shed in the background to see the difference. Also, although the JPGs do not show it very well, the background noise is significantly reduced with the additional lighting.][UPDATE : 29 Dec 2015. Both of these lamps have now been in daily use outdoors for 7 months and are still working perfectly. Original review follows]I reviewed the single pack version of this lamp back in October 2014. To summarise what was quite a long review; I like these lamps and hence the reason why I have just bought a twin pack. They are not perfect but at £8.50 each, good value for money.They work well with my Hikvision IP CCTV cameras and I have had one going for over 9 months without any problems. Like the LEDs in the camera, you can see a faint red glow in the dark so strictly speaking, I think they should be described as 'Near Infra-red'. However for me, the main advantage of this lamp is that it allows me to switch off the Hikvision's built in IR lights which stops the spiders from building their webs across the lens. Anyone who has used IR with fixed outdoor CCTV cameras will know what I am talking about. Unfortunately, this won't help most Foscam CCTV users as switching off the internal IR LEDs puts the camera back into 'daylight' mode which enables the internal IR Cut filter making an external IR source almost useless.The reason for the 4 stars is that there is absolutely no information provided with these lights, not even on the box. Although all you really have to do is plug them in to a suitable power supply, it would be useful if things like voltage and power ratings were given. So for the remainder of this review, I am going to try to fill in some of the missing information as best I can.These lamps are provided without a power supply so you will have to factor that into your purchasing decision. They are designed to work with a 12v power supply and I measured the power consumption at 4.5W. This corresponds to a current of 0.375A (375mA). So I would recommend a 12V power supply rated at minimum of 0.4A (400mA) for each lamp.The cable is 21 inches (53cm) long and terminated in a 'female' barrel connector which I think is 5.5mm/2.1mm. So, the cable will reach through a typical double skinned exterior house wall but there won't be much slack left. It also uses the fairly standard 'Centre Positive' wiring. Most 12v CCTV power supplies should be compatible with this.Overall, for distances up to about 10m with a width of up to 5m, in conjunction with CCTV, I find these lamps very effective. However if you want a proper IR flood light then you need to look around for something more substantial.

These are absolutely awful, both stopped working but one started smelling of smoke and flickered so I opened it up to find the identical damage as another 1 star review on here. I should have trusted that review and never bought these horrible Chinese build pieces of rubbish, when they weren't almost causing a house fire they weren't that great anyway. Buy the slightly more expensive black 4 led versions as they haven't had any issues (yet).

Well pleased,units are well made and very weatherproof. Tested and found the amount of light was better than I expected....Thank you.

Ottimo prodotto a ottimo prezzo

ces sot sont un complément idéal pour une caméra possédant déjà des led infrarouges ou sans infrarouges, ils permettent une vision née nuit d'environ 25-30 mètres si ont les accouple de chaque côté de la caméra.. , à partir de ce montage, ont peut même désactiver les infrarouges de la caméra ce qui évitera à la caméra de moins chauffée ! conclusion, très bonne finition et fixation par un vis cest très facile à monté ! si vous avez un montage "POE" je vous conseil ceci: un doubleur alimentation 12 volt qui vous permettra d'alimenter en sortie la caméra et le spot IR sans aucun rajout de fil electrique ce qui économisera également une alimentation 12volt. je recommande sans hésiter ce spot discret et rapide à monté, aucuns réglages le mode nuit est automatique comme sur la caméra.

Lo uso junto a otro alimentado con una bateria de plomo de 12v con una videocamara con nightshoot y es increible....alumbran muchisimo. Ideal para grabaciones nocturnas en las que se necesite amplitud de campo. Recomendable.

Après seulement quelques semaines d'utilisation, les leds se mettent à flasher puis à griller. Soit je suis tombé sur un défaut de fabrication, soit ce produit est de mauvaise qualité. Je ne tenterai pas une nouvelle expérience.

Non funzionano affatto
