Is this light truly "Invisible"? Most of the lights like this I've seen have a red glow. I'm looking for a light that cannot be seen with a naked eye.

Hello w6zrd, we actually ordered the 940nm in error and returned it before ever using it. We have the 850nm lights and I do not see a red glow. So, I cannot comment on the 940nm lights.

It is invisible. No red. I went through the same thing. Make sure your camera is sensitive to 940nm. Only a camera in that range will see the illumination .

If you know what you are looking for, you can see the red, but I have had numerous people tell me that the lights are "burnt out" or not working. They didn't know that they were IR lights.

This light is invisible! You cannot tell if the power is on or off by looking at it in the dark. You will need a IR camera to tel if it is actually functioning.

I purchased these lights a while back however i returned them because they did not work at all with my lorex cameras... I was informed by cmvision that they work only with certain types of cameras....in which case , yes they would be totally invissible! However ,I have several IR 200 LED CMVision cameras,they glow red ,but light up a football field in area.they are great IR Illuminators.Call Ben at CMVision on your questions,he will treat you good! I am the Hermanator ........and i will be back for more CMVision IR Lights!!

It produces a lot of light. There aren't any lights on it. It just emits a bright orange light.

The red light is noticeable if looking directly at the camera but that's all. It is not very bright so it does not draw attention. The camera is silent as far as I can tell. To test the camera before I set it up outside, I put it on my mantle at home. It snapped pictures for 2 days and no one even noticed it was there.

I don't mean to be rude but you are testing it in the dark? And it doesn't glow? If so I would contact Amazon if you bought it from them and get your money back. It worked great on my items so I'm thinking you must have a defective can.my items

No it is infrared so only if you are looking at the camera will you even see the red lights glow but not noticeably. We have used it very successfully for several months now and it helped us catch a raccoon visiting our back porch nightly!! He never looked at the camera even when it was taking his picture!

I bought a set of 2. At first I didn't notice, but after about a week or two at night after I installed them, I noticed that the two light have vey different beam spot sizes, or flood patterns...or whatever you want to call the illumination pattern. I measured them, and one is close to 8 degrees, and the other is close to 30 degrees. The 8 does look like a spot type. With some small amount of outside the spot light beam. The 30 is more or les a flood type light. No real focused beam. Still seems to look as bright when doing the stare test, or the 'dark garage wall test. I'm trying to contact the vendor and ask them. FYI - *** When I've looked at other sellers of LED moto lights web sites, the majority of them do mention that they sell a spot version, and a flood version.( for the same lamp type) And if you don't specify exactly what two you want in your order, they sys they will ship you one of each. That may what happened to me.

It is Ultraviolet light, which humans can't see, so during the day it is very hard to see if it is on or off, but at night you should be able to see it. If at night the whole bulb is glowing then it is working, if only the top is glowing there is a problem.

I agree with the others that you may get a glimpse of it; it's inside the appliance. I don't believe it's exposing me to any UV light. It's the light on the front control panel that is BRIGHT (and why I covered it with black tape/paper so I can sleep)

Is it a single-bulb fixture where the bulb won't have a globe or other glass over it? I have it illuminating my hallway and it's actually a bit brighter than I would have imagined, would probably work well over an island counter.

It's a good strong light and will light up anything that glows (blood, etc.), but I don't have personal experience with bed bugs and see conflicting statments on line. It's pretty clear that the bug itself doesn't glow, but some claim what they leave behind does (waste and blood trails). Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

It's an infrared flash. It cannot be seen by the naked eye. It is visible with night vision devices though (not something you're likely to be dealing with).

The batteries make the light glow = which makes it look very, very real. My batteries only lasted 3 months at a time, so I had to get out the stepladder and do some reaching to keep changing them. That was annoying, but it looks just like the real ones if someone is looking over your wall or from a small distance. Use the batteries, keep that red glow going, that is a good feature.

It is possible its just very dim, but so far as I've seen, it just comes on after dark, and doesn't shut off on its own. I can't say if it is just impossible to see in the sunlight or shuts off in the sun.

It has a small white light (imo you should carry at least one head lamp so you don't need this). The "red". LED's are a very brilliant bright redish color. They are very visible at night (I'll leave two in the road and one magneticly stuck to the back of my white truck).This of course all is contingent on the batteries not being dead (read previous reviews)

Actually, I know this is late, but the orange one actually glows a more of red light. In the dark it looks like a red volcano. I thought it would be orange, but yea, it is more on the red side. It doesn't matter to me really, but it isn't really too calming, if that is what you're looking for.

Yes,and it's fairly bright on this model. Most of these don't have so much glow in the visible range of the spectrum, but it's normal for this one. Kind of a waste, really, since visible light is energy that is not as effective as InfraRed, as it should be, but still works Okay.

Here's my issue with this product...While I too enjoy the ambiance of the glow. That is not why I bought it. I bought it because of the overwhelming reviews that suggest that there is air cleaning quality effect. This is what I am trying to find out, does this thing pump out negative ions or not, or is it just a a lava lamp type decoration type thing. I too want to believe in this product, but I am looking for something concrete to base my confidence other then it feels so good. I bought 3 of this type of lamp and have them in my bedroom, living room, and basement. While the look awesome, I do not feel any crisp air type of effect in my opinion.
