Is it possible to buy/make an IR light source (880 nm) that is brighter than a well lit room. This well lit room would be lit by several Fluorescent Bulbs.
I want this source to be several times brighter than the visible light on a Digi cam or a camera phone. I think the Fluorescent Bulbs are about 2000 lumens. I have played around with several High Power IR LEDS with light emissions up to 60 mW/sr, but all of them have problems competing with the brightness of a well lit room.
Is this possible at all?
To recap, IR light source, possibly spotlight 5-10 times brighter than the Fluorescent bulbs "long tubes" in a room, to be seen on a camera.
Thanks
