Univivi IR Illuminator,850nm 12 LEDs Wide Angle IR Illuminator for Night Vision,Waterproof LED Infrared Light for IP Camera, CCTV Security Camera

Works very well covers my whole garden. Supplements the pathetic infrared illumination of my D-Link CCTV camera. I had struggled to find a decent quality infrared illuminator of reasonable size at a sensible price. This fits the bill nicely and has worked flawlessly for the past six weeks or so.

Very decent IR, throws out some good rays.

Amazing service. Came earlier than expected and works exactly as advertised.

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.

This just arrived a few days ago after a little confusion about delivery date. It actually arrived much faster than suggested on the website. Initial impressions are very good. Case is cast aluminum and appears to be well made and sealed. One caveat: where the power cable enters the housing, there is a nut which I assumed to be a waterproof gland that grips the cable tightly to provide strain relief. However, I discovered that a slight pull revealed the two wires within, so there is no strain relief. No damage was done and it took a few minutes to open the case and put a zip tie around the cable. (See pic.) Shouldn't be necessary but was easy enough to do. That the entrance isn't truly waterproof is not critical as it's on the bottom of the case where no water would likely be present anyway. A dab of silicone seal would seal it. Performance-wise, it does very well. The usable range is quoted as about 100' (30m) but I found that it did acceptably well to a measured 180' (55m) as the attached pics show. The camera is a HikVision 8mp analogue unit. They were taken with the camera's IR "on" but the difference is negligible with it off. . I could see two coyotes even when they were nearly at the tree line. (They are not in the sample pic.) As with all IR illumination, rain near the camera really "lights up", however. The AC-DC adaptor consumes 16w @ 120v. I tried splicing another DC lead into the cable that supplies 12v to the camera but the IR output was reduced, so it does need to be independently powered. The one unknown is long-term durability, which remains to be seen. But I just ordered another one to augment the camera on the other side of the property, which is only about 90' to the fence line. An initial test showed that the area was very well lit. (Updated Oct.13)

I bought this IR light almost a year ago. It did a stellar job for about 9 months and then stopped working. I contacted the seller and it was replaced in a week. Excellent responsiveness! With this kind of support, I felt comfortable buying another one, but this time, with 6 LEDs instead of 12. The 12 LED version is SUPER bright! I mean, almost too bright! The 6 LED version didn't come with a power supply, but it is also just about perfect. The LEDs give off a visible red light that you can easily see when you look at the light itself, but otherwise it's invisible.

It's advertised as 110V because it comes with a 110V to 12V wall wart. That means it has to be plugged into an outlet. As this is an outdoor light, meant to be bolted to a structure, it makes more sense for it to be permanently wired. I would have given 5 stars if it were not for this. I deliberately shopped for a 110V light to be hard wired. I re-purposed this one from my original intended location, so it's working for me despite the power delivery method. Other than that little bit of misinformation, it works as described and is plenty bright enough. It is also not visible to the naked eye when on, which is very nice. So many infrared lights have a red glow to them when on, not this one.
