Night Vision

I bought 100 of high-power infrared LEDs, and soldered them onto a circuit board. This is an invisible infrared 'flashlight'. The camera below is extremely sensitive to infrared light. Therefore, with the infrared camera and the flashlight, one can view video in complete darkness, without any visible light. The infrared beam makes a well-defined 5' spot on the wall from 25'.
