Hello all
Im wondering if any of you can help... I hold seances in my house every 2 weeks.. i do experiements and at the moment i have my k2 in the middle of 2 lasers and my sony handycam dcr-dvd110 trained on it. As you would expect there is not enough infrared light to see all 3 things clearly so i purchased a 150mw cobra illuminator but this is a rather narrow beam meaning i still cant see clearly all 3 items. can anyone suggest a decent but cheap infrared light source that has a wide angle meaning i can clearly have light on all 3 items. I have looked at the sima but battery time is rubbish and have had a sony but again this does not work any better..
I did order from creepyhollowgear but lets just say its been a nightmare.
any help is greatly recieved..
thank you |

If your handy with a soldering iron, maplins sell a DIY IR spotlamp kit for around £10
I bought mine to use with my night vision scope and has helped, although IR only projects a narrow beam, from my experience, so may be 2 would be better for your self.
I mounted mine into a project box and cut a hole in the front and it gets rather warm, so bear this in mind if mounting in a box.
These project up to 5m and can operate on a 12v power supply(I used 8AA batteries in suitable holders).
