DI20 IR Illuminator | Long Range Infrared Flood Light for Security Camera (w/Power Adapter)

It really light s a dark area

I replaced a larger light with this one. Just as bright in a much smaller footprint. Very happy with the wide area the light covers, without hot spots. From other reviews I read, I think the product has been improved. First the mount seems to be metal not plastic. Second the light and power brick are separate, the light has about 18 inch cord with a barrel connector. Only gave a 4 star because haven't been thru a winter or long term use. Overall very happy thus far. Updated to 5 star. Light has worked well thru winter

Necesitaba un iluminador infrarrojo para cámaras de seguridad en un area donde las cámaras no contaban con esa función. Una sola luz hizo que la noche se convirtiera en dia en modo infrarrojo. Incluso los videos de seguridad de noche son mas nítidos que los mismos de dia. Coloque la luz en una esquina del area a iluminar y todo un cuarto de 30 metros cuadrados quedo completamente bañado de luz infrarroja, ayudando a las cámaras a ver de noche. La instalación fue muy sencilla, solo perforar para colocar los paquetes y atornillar la luz en la pared.

Nice little units, the pigtail power connections are a little short, so if it’s pole mounted it’s kind of messy to connect to the equally short power adapter connecter. I’ll have to splice and replace the cable when I get time. Overall, nice wide angle short to medium distance IR floodlight, vast improvement if you’ve got a cheap home grade CCTV camera, I would have preferred the black finish to blend in more covertly/discretely, however that’s only available in the USA, not Canada. I did notice some IR LEDs are significantly brighter than others, leading me to suspect they will burn out quicker than others, time will tell. (See my video and images) Kudos to their customer support, they did responded quickly.

UPDATE #2: I may have had some issues with my first order that got resolved with my replacement, but this update is about the functionality of this item. 1) IR light is quite bright and expansive. You do need to make sure you mount it high or far enough away from the area you want to flood or it will look more like a spot light. Light is still really effective at far distances. 2) Build quality seems pretty solid. The light housing is made of metal (cast aluminum I think) and the wall mount seems the same. Everything is painted/powder coated and should do well in the elements. UPDATE: Changed from 2-Stars to 4-Stars! ! After returning this used IR light, I had a replacement shipped. The replacement was in new condition and I tested it with my camera. Works fantastic. Very bright IR flood light. Worth the headache of returning and replacing. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I don't know how well this functions because I received a VERY used DI20. Therefore at this point I am simply reviewing based on the poor condition of the item. There was black marker colored in on the inside face of the "visor" top lip. Also, there was black electrical tape taped to the front rim all the way around. It was dirty, scuffed, and clearly heavily used. I paid full price for this item, so there was no way I was accepting this used and abused item. Shame on Tendelux for allowing someone to return an item in this condition and then pass it off as NEW.

My illuminator died after a few months. It was exposed to the rain but according to the description, the ip65 rating would mean it is waterproof. In my case it was not. Seeing that the light sensor on the back of the unit had a suspicious rusty colour (see pictures), I opened the illuminator to find that the light sensor connector was completely rusted-out.
