DYORD

I found something that I think I'm looking for... http://www.rentron.com/remote_control/IRLED.htm <--- look for long range IR LED 940nm... I'm planning of doing 7-10 pcs... on series connection... should I be doing series connection of batteries too?

thanks for the reply... i kinda like the IR filter... but will it be invisible with a normal eyes? and.. will it be visible on a digital camera?

DSLR = Digital SLR - camera.. i would need a continuous light. What kind of IR does a handycam have anyways? How much AA battery to light 1 IR LED? If I use 2x AA battery, will it make the IR brighter? Can anyone give me other options aside from IR LED's...?!

I'm planning of doing an invisible flashlight.. around 7-10Watts equivalent. I'm not very familiar with IR's.. but i know these have been used in handycams with night mode. I want to do just like that in DSLR's for indoor photography. If you have any suggestions.. please also tell me how to do it. another question: in every diode, is it equal to 1 AA size battery? If i make it 2, will it get brighter?
