 Didn't work---- April 17, 2010
T. Michon (FALMOUTH, MA, US)
Disappointed-didn't work, couldn't do anything to make it functional, didn't spend enough on it to make it worth my while to send it back. Spend more, get something better.
 Excited to see if it works April 1, 2010

I purchased this prior to purchasing the right nightshot camera so I'm excited to see if it improves the nightshot capability.
 Not Very Bright - See Video & Pictures March 17, 2010
CFH (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RX60XWVABFMPR The Sima "SL-10IR Infrared Night Vision Video Light" is just not bright enough to be of practical use for most low light video applications. I tested this with my Panasonic security camera, which is IR sensitive, and found that anything over 3' away from the camera will not be effectively illuminated.
The video was made with image captures, with the camera set up about 3' away from the stuffed bears. While moving the SL-10IR to about 18" away did provide some increased illumination, it is not a practical distance for most uses. The last image shows the unit pointed directly at the camera from 3' away to show that the camera does indeed see IR effectively.
Here are my observations:
Pros -
+ Small Size
+ Uses Included Rechargeable or Standard "AAA" Batteries
+ Includes Extension Camera Mounting Bracket
Cons -
- Does NOT put out a lot of IR light, ineffective at distances greater than 3' or so
This unit does not meet my needs and will likely be relegated to our "failed experiment" box.
Not Recommended!

IR Illuminator March 14, 2010

This product does not work very well at all...you get the same results as not having this attachment. It does not help with night vision at all...
What a disapointment March 10, 2010

I purchased this light for the same reasons as others did, ghost hunting. When the product came, 3 days late I might add, I charged it as per the directions-10 hours. When trying it, the light illuminated all of about 3 inches. I tried taking pictures in the dark to no avail. The photos were just as black as if I had no light at all. I tried all the night settings my camera has available and still nothing. We'll see how they do on their return policy.
