Leds from mouser electronics 12degree 1/2 angle, so the units have about a 24degree beam, 2 watt leds but narrow beam so they are very bright. Sold in 850nm or 940nm same style approx $7ea cheaper the more you buy. I am testing a 3x3 unit and a 6x1 unit will get some pics up soon to show how they work. Lights on the market that compare are $150.00 and up.
here is unit after mod:
Here is a 3 led unit from amazon remove and replace LEDs and 1 resistor for full power, under $50 mod.
Heat board from bottom side until you can lift off led
sfh 4783 850nm led
cheap IR led unit amazon
cheap 3x3 led units
LDH-45a-1050W
This power supply will drive about 18 of the IR leds in series, the square lights don't need the power supply.
The slim lights have to be rewired internally to allow them to be connected in series to run up to 3 units (12watts each) with built in dimmable power supply.
6 of these leds will output around 3000mw of IR light
3 units will output around 9000mw of ir light
very very bright @ 850nm which 2x brighter to gen3 NV compared with 940nm lights costing 3x as much.
