Some customers voiced concerns about the infrared light's efficiency. Any information about that funtion on this machine?

I rarely use the infrared light, but when I tried it, I liked it. I do not just rest my feet on the "feet," but move them around the entire machine. Example: I run my arches along the outside rim, or turn my left foot sideways and simultaneously cross feet so my right ankle area is on the upper left side, or bend my feet like standing on the balls of my foot on the black bumpy areas, etc. Whatever gets my circulation moving is what I do. I also set it manually.

I'm not sure as to how to answer this question but mine works fine. The instruction s for this machine are very sketchy so you really have to fool with the settings. I put mine on low, set it on HD 4 and the infra red goes on and I use it for less than 5 minutes. I must say it has done wonders for my neurophathy.

Nah, but its is more than worth the 200 bones. i recommend. i use it it for investigations, and its great. good battery life, hd is excellent. and the options for full spectrum were the deal maker for me. hope that helps. oh yeah! if you buy, get external ir lighting!! panasonic has a good one. without it your video won't pick up as much detail indoors and almost nothing outdoors. i run two IR lights external via a shoulder bracket. but yeah, good luck!

Hi there, It is not practical monitor. Not professionally reliable machine. Needs improvement.

I would check the pathway between the infrared signal points and make sure they're clear. You can also contact the manufacturer to have them send a replacement. I had no problems with mine when I got it. Hope this helps :) --Jess

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

It's IR. It's a spectrum of light that's just not as visible but still being absorbed by your plants or corral. That's normal.

Fathom, The handbook does not specifically address infrared measurement. The unit just measures overall illumination, that is all from what I gathered from the handbook. I believe the instrument you want is not this one, the unit you want will probably cost much more and be rated for infrared. Sorry, Charley

Close to a mirror image for day. By night the IR really is not effective. My brake & backup lights help augment a little for darkness. The IR Blasters that come on the unit just create optical distortion. Good unit for the price I guess, I've seen better ones go for $150 and upwards. Good luck.

Yes, the brightness of the IR LEDs is controlled by the sensor. The less light the brighter the LEDs. The sensor has an IR filter so it does not see IR as light.

When ambient light is low the unit lights dimly and stays lit dimly giving low illumination. Once activated by motion it becomes much brighter. This would of course conserve stored energy. I did not see anything in the manual that mentioned the ability to set the unit to provide light all night long without motion (keep in mind I'm operating off my memory as I no longer have the manual). I'll post again on the unit after its been in use for > 1 month to let you know what reliability is. It has operated for > 1 week without problems.

The answer by Mr. Larson is correct. I've purchased several of these lights. The unit is an excellent choice for moderate power indoor use for sure. I constantly keep one beside my computer keyboard which I normally operate in an area of very subdued light.

It works well in low light. Infrared is just an extra light source. It has regular light, infrared light and no light setting with a push of a button.

Hi. Avoid this monocular. Bad resolution on the green display. The infrared has no visible effect on the image. As a whole this monocular sucks. I sold it at a loss to recover some of the expense

I have had mine for about two months, used it maybe seven or eight times. No issues yet. Seems to work fine but not as bright as I'd hoped. Plus I don't like the cold color temperature look of the LED's, but that's to be expected with white LED lighting.

Is it working at all? Set it to most sensitive and quickly look at a bright light, start adjusting from thereI set mine about quarter sensitivity and between 9-10 on darknessany problems let us know

There is some light, but its not as bright as other purifiers I have. Its a weak green light. I took it out of the bedroom, though, because the motor makes a frequency range noise I don't like while trying to sleep.

I don't know if it contains infrared lights or not, but I do know mine quit working about two months after I bought it. I wasn't very impressed with the product & definitely don't think it was worth the $218 I paid for it. Hope that's helpful!
