LonnkyIR Illuminator

Solid constructionVery bright

I purchased this to replace a visually, almost identical IR light that was failing after 5 years.I say almost visually identical because the light this replaced had 15 LEDs, but also cooling fins on the back to aid heat dissipation. This one does not. This one weighs a great deal less and draws less power.It was not clear to me whether this light came with a UK power supply. It does. It's not a hefty job, in fact it's very basic, but it seems to work.My issue relates to its primary function: illumination. It doesn't illuminate the garden like my previous model, it strangely has a round projection shape, more like a torch, and not a broad rectangle shape I expected.The specs claim up to 165 feet (50m) range. Well, you can probably see a candle from that distance, but you wouldn't be able to find your way using it.I'm hanging onto it, but only because I'm too lazy to remove it. When it goes to silicon heaven, I will replace with a 30 LED model.The one job that this would be useful for is a pointing down along a narrow corridor, say covering a side gate, with the house on one side and a fence on the other. But for a wide area, I'd seek something beefier.Edit: Forgot to say that the the cable from the light is very short. Enough to get you through the wall behind where the light is fixed and that's about it. To be fair, this was the same with my previous light. The cable length of the power supply is also fairly short, so unless you are really close to a power supply, you will need an extension lead.

Works ok but not real bright. Better than no infrared for my camera, but could use them a little brighter to get better recognition of a person. Long term is unknown, as others have said they stop after awhile.

This is a nicely priced 850nm LED Flood that does what it advertises. I like it a lot and plan to buy more.My Setup:My yard is near the end of a court so it is a pie slice shaped yard. The Nigh Vision camera (Avertx HD80IRM) is at one side of the yard and the other side of the yard is about 124 feet away. I mounted the LONNKY LED light just below the HD80IRM which is just below most of the HD80IRM’s LEDs.My opinion:The price is nice. The LONNKY LED used a wall wart that converts 120 VAC to 12 VDC up to 2 A with about 6’ of cord. The setup was simple and easy and I tested it at dark. I turned all the lights off on the back of the house so the video I took was just the HD80IRM internal LEDs and the LONNKY LEDs. The HD80IRM provided minimal night vision light. The specs for HD80IRM are attached and says the IR Range is 60 feet. It is pretty minimal at 60 feet. I do not know how to turn off these internal LEDs and still have the camera in IR Mode. It is also a 3MP daylight camera.When the LONNKY was used, I could see all the way across the back yard. I could easily tell that a person was in the field of view all the way to the other side. I was unable to verify exactly if its a 90-degree field of view, but the HD80IRM spec is a 96.1 degree field of view and the LONNKEY covered that. I measured the power consumption of 7.1 watts with a Killowatt power meter, which is less that the 24 watts the wall wart can supply and 0 watts in daylight. I attached the video (Note: it is highly compressed). The only issue is the bracket, it is a bit weak but works.

Easy to setup. However, you have to remove the 2 screws that attach the bracket to the light when you are attaching to your structure and they are small and easy to drop. In my installation, that would have meant a watery grave. It would be better if there was a slot in the bracket instead of a hole to attach to the light.
