My experience with a 6-LED IR light is that the light is weak, uneven, and

very narrow in coverage... BTW, I glued 4 florescent flashlights together

and onto a bar. Powered with a 6v gel-cell and covered with an appropriate

acetate filter, the light is broad, soft, and FAR less annoying to people in front

than the usual near-point-source video lights...
