DORHEA 2 Pcs Infrared LED Light Board Module for Raspberry Pi Camera Night Vision, 3W 850 IR High Power Night Vision Infrared Illuminator with Adjustable Resistor for Raspberry Pi Camera

Excellent illumination. Works great for my pi zero cameras

I bought a couple packs of these, as my Pis were burning out the ones that came with the cameras (with heatsinks). Just like the ones before, these things are hard to adjust (Happy to have the iFixit kit), yet the LEDs still stay on when the lights are on in the room and curtains are open. Barely adjusting them to when they are off, they stay off, all the time, including when the sensors are covered. Looking into borrowing my work's soldering iron, and add in Pi controlled IR Lights, based on when the camera toggles between light and night vision (which works perfectly).

These are essentially IR cans you attach to your Pi camera and are powered through the camera's board, which is powered via the Raspberry Pi itself. Two screws hold each in place and they're ready to go. I tested these in a closet and the results were great. When I used them in real life (outside), they produce a red-hued image at ~6' since the emitters are actually using visible spectrum red light. Also, obviously these do not cast the light very far so if you're >10', these probably won't work for you. These produce some heat and I've seen other ones with aluminum sinks to dissipate, so keep that in mind, too. Overall, great for project work but if you're looking for more familiar black/white IR, grab something else.

I have a few raspberry pis inside and outside of the house for security using Arducams and Makerfocus cams. The infrared LEDs on these die pretty fast with my use case (about a year). These make for excellent replacement LEDs - definitely beats having to buy the whole camera again.

One of the two stops working after 48 hours of use (overheat and lost one chip)

These lights actually cannot be connected to Raspberry Pi camera. As you can see on the photo, the screw holes do not match Raspberry Pi camera. The title is: `DORHEA 2 Pcs Infrared LED Light Board Module for Raspberry Pi Camera Night Vision, 3W 850 IR High Power Night Vision Infrared Illuminator with Adjustable Resistor for Raspberry Pi Camera` This is misleading information.

I hooked it up to USB and on separate sides omy headset, now it works in total darkness

Great product. Exactly as advertised. Arrived earlier than expected
