Hello guys,
I need some help please.
Im trying to build my own IR light source to add to my nightshot camcorder.
I want buy a :
1) 5 Watt Infrared IR LED Night vision camera Flashlight
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=250326011738
but the guy that sell it , I think does not know anything about it.
My guess is that to make the 5 watt IR led work (not to heat too much and blow up), I need two
5 Watt LED Pulse Driver
http://cgi.ebay.com/5-Watt-LED-Puls...205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318#ebayphotohosting
What I do not understand is :
1) how do I connect two 5 Watt LED Pulse Driver to one 5 Watt Infrared IR LED Night vision ?
My thinking is to connect :
A) Power Source that has + and - to B) one 5 watt led pulse drive , connecting it to the + and - of the power source. Then connect to the 5 watt led pulse drive B) another C) 5 watt led pulse drive , connecting + with + and - with - . Then connect the D) 5 watt infrared IR led night vision to the C) 5 watt led pulse drive, connecting + with + and - with - .
Am I correct ?
2) Which is the power source that I should use in Voltage ? ( how many AA batteries I should use and should I use a resistor ?)
For the question 2) , these are the specs of the :
A) 5 Watt led puls drive :
Frequency: 30KHz
Type: Pulse Driver
Operating voltage: 5V-8V
Current(peak): 950mA
LED support: Blue/White/Green/IR
(note: it can drive a 3W IR LED in full power. You need two for a 5W IR LED)
and of the
B) 5 watt infrared led :
Specifications
Wavelength: 850nm
Vf: 1.5V~1.6V
If: 2500 mA+
Dimension
Backplate(W): 19.9mm
Can u please help me ?
Thank you
Marco
