Do you think this would illuminate a sump pump basin enough to be able to take webcam pics?

I don't know but my thought is the beam wouldn't be strong enough for this.

it is pretty bright it easily lights up a reading area. i have never thought to use it to light up a sump pump but i think it will work. if not it has a great many other uses. i have bought eight of them so far and all continue to work. i have them in the kitchen, garage, bbq grill etc. i even have on installed in our matrix as it has an outlet to plug in items.

It is fairly bright but for somewhat close work. It certainly is cheap enough for a try!

If you have a webcam that can tale a decemt photo in reduced light, it should work fine. The amount of light put out by the light is pretty good so it will depend on how close the light is to the area that you want to take a photo of.

As it is meant for up close work on a sewing machine, I don't know. I use it on a mini lathe, works fine. The brightness is equivalent to very bright led book reading lamp.

I use this device for investigation purposes at work where i plug the camera to a DVR and program the IP address & DNS setting so i can remotely monitor. It is NOT great in the dark as it isnt designed for that. You may look into IR cameras for that.

It is not the best camera for this purpose, but it would work with the proper lighting.

Not well. The camera seems to be ideal for bright environments. I tried to capture some low-light under-water scenes and the camera recorded just black.

Yes, but the IR LEDs can only illuminate up to about a meter. If you add additional more powerful IR lights, it will see much better. I tried this with a foscam 9821 netcam with IR and the mini cam sees much better with the foscam IR LEDs on.

Seems like it SHOULD work as long as the build is protected in water tight enclosure. It is not a bright as a regular incandescent, but it is cooler and should be bright enoughespecially for dim lighting conditions. Don't drop the remote control in the water.

you can use it instead of your webcam it might have better resolution... check it out

That's going to depend on how dark the subject is. It works great at arms length. 12 feet as the other commenter said? That would be pushing it I think. Maybe as a minor fill light, but not as a primary light.

Yes, it will work. I have had it submerged in depths of water greater than 40 feet, for over 36 hours at a time, in varying temperatures, currents, and bumping it around pretty rough. It never lost any of it's clarity, the lights functioned well, and I had no problems at all. Not even one little interference line in the pictures whatsoever. You should be able to use this with no problems for what you are doing. Remember, that this is not a camera that has a focus on it. The focusing is totally controlled by the movement of the camera, and how far you hold it from whatever you are taking a picture of. This means that someone is going to have to act as the camera operator, and manually hold the camera so that it stays in focus, based on what you are seeing real time on the computer. As long as what you see on the monitor is cool, then your recording will turn out just how you saw it in action! Have fun, and good luck! Tom

Doubt it. The cam was DOA when I bought mine, I returned it and they where out of stock. Have not bought one since. But from the looks of it, Definitely not water proof. Maybe a slight splash would be okay.

You would have to check the lumen ouput over the area of lighting9photo metric data)Most likely not but you could use 4 and probabbly come close.

Yes, you can see. The image quality will not be the best due to lighting and focus distance.

I doubt it. Personally I thought it would be brighter. I have stopped using it. I was using it to try and grow algae in a two gallon refugium connected to a salt water aquarium.

either would work, i too also carry extra batteries, just in case. the video feature uses more power than pics so the batteries run out faster but i didn't think any times of 'drainage' were a deal breaker.

not sure if this is what you want. has lots of scene modes and does well in all sorts of lighting conditions, I have taken pictures off my TV screen with mine so guess it could do it.

No I do not think this light would work well for that. It is bright but only for a small circle area under its top. The light doesn't project well. I think you would be straining your eyes.

I would think so. We connect a special camera for fire vehicles with this, worked well.
