Do the LEDs put out any visible light? I'm looking for one without the red glow.

Yes, the IR LEDs emit a visible red glow in the 890 nanometer wavelength.it is a very good illuminator for the price. I have also purchased Invisible IR-200-940 CMVision 940nm Wavelength 198 IRLED.Look for 940nm IR LEDs. If u want invisable. But be careful. Alot of cameras will not detect light at that high of a wavelength.

Yes, this IR 890 nm illuminator emits a dim red glow. CDJ is correct about the semiconductor emitting (leaking) shorter visible wavelength light. Only a selective IR filter can stop this glow. Several surplus houses stock IR filters that you need at some very cheap prices.

The light it self (led) will not create heat at all. You will not feel any energy heat come from the light at all.

Mine don't. One of the best led bulbs I've purchased. Have them in four rooms.

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 .

You'll ultimately have to gauge this yourself, but I don't believe they're bright enough to stand out as obvious unless you're looking up, or specifically looking for the camera lens. The infrared LED's are very dim and unidirectional, they're not anywhere near as bright as an LED light on your car dash or alarm clock. They do not throw a red lighting pattern like you might think. So I don't view them as a light source someone would immediately be drawn to while walking around, or a light source you'll notice out of the corner of your eye from that distance. I mounted 1 of mine at 7' in a corridor at my front door to make it obvious, but the others are at 10' or higher, and people just don't see the dim glow.

I actually did replace one of mine with an LED just to test it out and almost no light comes out of it. The LED lights just don't seem to put out enough light. :( I would love to find some LEDs that do though considering I am running like 15 of these all night long.

You really can't tell they give off any heat at all, I've never noticed them to be excessively warm. You can use an LED instead but I have yet to find an LED that doesn't really stick out in that lightbulb design, the LEDs have a lot of plastic in their design as opposed to the halogens that have a sleek, metal look to them.

No, the LEDs should light. Try reseating the batteries, sometimes they don't line up right. They should light red initially then change to green after they are finished charging.

Yes, the one I ordered a few weeks ago has a white light - I bought one several years ago and it did indeed have a red light - which was totally worthless. Hopefully the company has discontinued the red light altogether.

No, these are glow in the dark. U would recommend buying the chest piece and attaching it if he wants LED

No, The ones I purchased have a whiter light - similar to a daylight white florescent bulb. They have been in use now 12 hours a day for 7 months with no failures.

As far as I have seen there is no switch to turn off the LEDs. Though the LEDS are not overpowering in brightness, just a nice glow.

No LED. I was a little disappointed myself. It's a good unit but the lights are underwhelming.

Dear friend, Thank you for your email! When you connect the wire, LED will glow naturally , they are work relying on electronic. Sincerely, Ayygiftideas

You can see the LEDS at night. They are not so obvious as to grab your attention, however, if you are within 6-10 feet and looking directly at the camera, the LEDs are visible.

These may not be the lights for you. They put out very little light. I suppose it a cold white light. Fyi! One of the leds burnt out and the assembly is not sealed so ants have put dirt inside both.
