Here is what the manufacturer says:
30 LED Full Spectrum Illuminator
5 Infrared LEDS, 5 Red LEDS, 5 Blue LEDS, 5 Green LEDS, 5 Ultraviolet LEDS. then another 5 Infrared LEDs. Can use on all night vision equipped camera/camcorders. Works great with the SVP Full Spectrum camcorder. 45 ft distance, 9v battery powered, tripod adapter included. Gives you a extra row of Infrared LEDs 30 instead of 25 LEDs. Doubles the original FS plus still gives you the full light spectrum! Limited quantity's. Battery life will suffer a little with more LEDs but it is worth it!
Pro's in real world conditions:
This light is bright enough to not need a flashlight while using it
If you have a full spectrum(including visible light) camera it pulls colors out!
The battery life is amazing, lasting far more than 12hrs already. (may vary)
It is very lightweight even with the battery in.
The mount affixed to the bottom makes in compatible with any standard screw mount.
When you have to change the battery, it is effortless, and you never have to even take it off of your adapter, or bracket.
It provides enough light to see quite some distance (2 can go quite a ways!)
Con's in real world conditions:
The only one I have encountered is wanting to look at the lights in the dark.
My overall rating for this illuminator is 5 out of 5. It provides ample light for the full spectrum camera's and camcorders that see visible light. The battery life is quite amazing giving that it has 30 led's total. The extra row of infrared led's is an added benefit keeping the UV and color led's from drowning the IR out. The light weight of the unit really makes you feel comfortable again holding a video camera. Even with two lights attached to our assembly with the camcorder, you really couldn't tell there were two illuminators there at all. With the full spectrum lights it was pretty hard not to look at them in the dark. If you have sensitive eyes, I wouldn't recommend looking at them even in the daytime. The led's are extremely bright in all colors except of course the UV, and IR. You can also use these illuminators with any sony camcorder that has night shot on them. So whether you have a full spectrum camcorder, or a standard IR camcorder you can still purchase and use this light efficiently. If you haven't purchased one of these lights yet, I would say give it a shot! The only thing you have to lose is evidence. You can jump to Phantom Lite and order one today. You will see the difference immediately. We now own 3 of these illuminators, and can happily say that!
Will it work with a Sony SR35E Super Nightshot camcorder?
ReplyDeleteIt will work with any night shot or super night shot. I would recommend however to stay away from the super night shot camcorders. For the super night shot, it actually reduces the frame rate for recording leaving you with choppy, and mostly unusable footage. Just a tip:)
