Do the leds glow red or are they completely IR? Are they visible to the human eye?

My unit has the same dim red glow. I added a piece of florescent lighting diffuser panel (used in overhead lighting) the same size of the LED face. This widened and smoothed out the lighted image seen with the camera. This unit is still working, since 2008. Great product. You should buy the best camera you can then worry about the illumination after it is up and running. A high quality day/night camera with a very low lux rating (<0.001) can produce amazing images in very low light. The better the camera you start out with the more effective the illuminators will be.

There is a very very dim red glow. You really wouldn't notice if you weren't looking for it.

not bright red, or even as bright as most home security systems. if looking for a faint glow, you may find. It took my itch blak backyard and lit it up fpr my Q-See security cameras

This illuminator works in the 850 nm range which is visible in the near-infared range. They work with cameras that are built to use the 850 nm range (filter). The other range, which emits a less visible purplish glow, is the 920nm. The camera MUST match the illuminator and visa/versa. If you try to use the lesser visible 920nm illuminator with a camera which is designed to work with 850nm they just don't work together and the same goes with a camera that is designed with a 920nm filter and you try to use the 850nm illuminators. You get a little but you'll be disappointed. Make sure your camera and your illuminator wavelength match and you'll be happy.

Yes they are LED's and are fully lit in any position. Currently using middle for heated grips to ground and the ends going to hi (with resistor)and low which split from the same single 12v source

Defective. All of the LEDs on mine are very bright. The red is only a very tiny bit dimmer, but I think that's the nature of the color.

There is a faint red glow visible when looking into the end of the IR illuminator when it is switched on. You can't see it from very far away though.

The infrared light emitted by the LEDs is not visible to the human eye, however the LEDs also emit some light (red) in the visible wavelength range. I'm not sure what you mean by "match", but the image quality is excellent in IR mode and I'm using this camera with some Q-See brand QM6006B (bullet style) cameras and having no issues.

According to Streamlight's page, this is what I have found "5mm IR LED: 25mW/sr (min) radiant intensity"And how it does compare to the others are hard to say, as I have no IR night vision googgles to see them with, so you might say you cant see it at all : ) You may barely see it with your phone camera, but I do believe it would be different with IR sensitive camera.

No they are led but the hour life is supposed 2 b long I've had no problems with mine $

Yes and as far as I know you can't. They are small red led they are not very bright

Yes as far as I know and I have researched this a lot they are. What is important is that they are 850nm and that is what the skin responds to. Also if u do get them you will see a very faint glow of red when powered up and this is normal.

They are led. Im not sure why it says that. Each "bulb" is about the size of a large pin head. Don't let it fool you though! They are very bright when set to full power. I love mine!

I cant tell you the specific's, but they have 12 led's and are the brightest I have seen. I have bought many looking for ones this bright. Working great for 6-7 months now.

It's really neither. The system works using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM - google it). Basically the LEDs are turned fully on and fully off fast enough that the eye can't see it.

The center numbers glow red and the sweeping LED's above the numbers light up. As far as actually seeing the white numbers light up. No. It is not back lit. That's what the center red LED's are for.

They are absolutely bright enough depending on the color. So if you put on RED then it is bright but not like the whitest light they can be. I have three in a medium sized living room and on the brightest setting it is very bright in the room.

Sorry No. The 4 IR LEDs are at the corners of the lens. They are not very bright, a dim dull red color. If you hold your hand close to the lens it does have a effect, illuminating objects in total darkness only up to a foot away. They are no help when recording at night. I tried everything through the menu to turn them off with no luck, my solution was black electrical tape over the four LEDs

You'll ultimately have to gauge this yourself, but I don't believe they're bright enough to stand out as obvious unless you're looking up, or specifically looking for the camera lens. The infrared LED's are very dim and unidirectional, they're not anywhere near as bright as an LED light on your car dash or alarm clock.They do not throw a red lighting pattern like you might think. So I don't view them as a light source someone would immediately be drawn to while walking around, or a light source you'll notice out of the corner of your eye from that distance. I mounted 1 of mine at 7' in a corridor at my front door to make it obvious, but the others are at 10' or higher, and people just don't see the dim glow.

I'm kinda confused on the question but they are red with yellow turn signals but not a very effective light. I only used mine till I got origin8 rechargeable lights
