If it works like a regular lamp in IR mode (not srtobe only), how many mW does it output? how does it compare to the other colors?

According to Streamlight's page, this is what I have found "5mm IR LED: 25mW/sr (min) radiant intensity"And how it does compare to the others are hard to say, as I have no IR night vision googgles to see them with, so you might say you cant see it at all : ) You may barely see it with your phone camera, but I do believe it would be different with IR sensitive camera.

I went to streamlight's web site and peak output for IR LED is 880nm at peak or high setting. You can probably quater that for each of the settings from dimmist to brightest. Go to their website for a spec sheet, hope this helps...

Yes it does work in all three IR modes plus strobe. I do not know about MW output. It works well for up to 30-40 feet under IR with night vision. Hope that helps a bit.

I love this light I own the first model too I like how the older one was light, water proof, has easy control, also it's good for military because the setting starts out low,medium, high and flash mode for red,blue, wight and IR.red is good for low light areas and faster and better for your eyes to adjust to the light also it's harder to give away your position.blue is great for map reading, and doing medical things. White is great for long rang or every day task. IR is great for night vision for signaling and identifying friend or foe.white flash is great for SOS or blinding a attacker.the model 2 is for a helmet, gun rail,molle webbing,head lamp. It's also ideal that it is capable to take one AA or SF123A battery it's good because AA batteries are more common and affordable then SF123A.it's also built to last because I fell and drop it and there is 0 scratches on it. I now keep it on my military backpack shoulder strap on the molle webbing so I can see the hike path at night or do thinking hands free. Hope this helped and I'm glad that I both them both but I really recommend the model 2 the compact ll.

I got a slightly different model TBL03, but it looks the same. I use it for three lamps via a triple plug connected to the dimmer. It works well with LED lights so far. Mine is rated for max 300 W incandescent or 150 W LED/CFL. My LED bulbs are 9 W each, so x3 is only 27W total.

This is a very bright bulb, 250 to 300 watt equivelent. I use it in the gararge. There are two differant colors, a soft yellow light regular house lighting and daylight which is very white like store lighting. Works well for me as I only have one central light in my gararge and used to have a 200 watt bulb there which drew a lot of electricity, this only draws 50 watts and mmuch brighter. Too bright for indoors in my opinion.

We use it like a nightlight, but it does dimly light the entire room. I'm not sure what watt bulb it compares to.

there is usally 1 IR light that looks really dim that is normal. All chips are underdriven to 2 watts for longer life,and less heat. some colors just look brighter, but they are the same watts.

That varies somewhat depending on your needs. On the high mode, it outputs about as much light as two of the old-fashioned 60 watt incandescent bulbs. I find that to be enough for my approximately 16 foot by 16 foot living room, but if I'm at my desk, which is in the corner next to the light (and thus not as well lit by it), I generally use a task light as well.

I just assumed that the 20W was actual power consumption for the LED matrix. You seem to think the 20W is some kind of equivalent light output wattage in incandescent terms.Lumens is light output. If you have the 1600 lumens, you have the light output. 20 watts in, 1600 lumens out. What more do you need?

a 15 Watt medium type A base bulb. Which I could not find at my local hardware store, he sold me a 13 watt energy saver bulb which killed the damn thing. (I now see on the package that 13 watts on the energy saver = 60 watts. I honestly don't think that 15 "regular" watts is going to give you enough light to work at a desk.

Hello, I just bought a standard 40 watt bulb. It says you can use 40 watts or less on the inside of the lamp. Hope this helps :).

I have used many different watts and it has done fine. I have enjoyed this lamp!!

I ordered 2 of these, one was dead on arrival, which I returned. The other worked well in response to your question. It is a bit bright though, being 60W equivalent (40 would be better)

These units are in the 808 to 850 nm range, i.e. if you look directly into the unit when it is on, you will see the red LEDs. However, if you move say 45 degrees from directly in front of the unit, it is harder to see the red color. The unit is very well made and I have been using it every day for over a year. The housing is water proof. If you want a unit that does not glow red when on, look at the CMVision IR-200 which emits over 900 nm, so you can not tell the unit is on, plus it emits more light at a longer distance and cost only a little more than the IR110. The IR-110 is totally silent (no small fan), while the IR-200 has a small, very quite internal fan. Both units can be mounted outside (waterproof). Either unit will give you excellent service and work with B&W security cameras. Hope this helps.

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.

It's strange the variety of answers here. Mine is a distinctively blue hue and is quite bright. I have it on in a room and at night, you can see it shining out the windows making the room look like an alien has landed in it. However, the type of lamp you plug this into will make a big difference. The lamp I have is for 160W bulb. Less powerful lamps may not produce such a white light.

Inside the lamp "shade " it says "Use only Max 20 Watts Type Self Ballusted Compact Fluorescent". The lamp itself is a U15200 and printed on the base is "1170 lumens 6500K". It certainly casts a very blue shade of white light. I should think you can source that specific lamp by its code, and screw it into any standard fixture and save a bunch of money!

I use a 40 watt bulb, and it casts a nice warm glow. I have to warn you that I bought one for myself and one sent to a friend. Both lamps were very poorly packaged and cheaply made. I sent mine back for a replacement, and even the replacement was a bit damaged. I kept it; it's a good enough lamp for the price, but know that you may have to re-thread the lampshade or iron out some dents. That said, I've had the lamp for a while and it has performed well and if I turn the dented side to the wall, it looks pretty nice too.

someone else answered that the manufacturers spec says 660w. I use a 250w heat lamp in mine without real issue. what I take issue with is the switch mechanism. it does not hold up the way the fixture does as it is made of cheap plastic and does not seem to be replaceable in itself. my last fixture I used for about a year and a half without a switch, just loosening or tightening the bulb to turn on/off.
