I recently figured out how to mod any visible light flashlight into an infrared light for use with Sony Nightshot.

Check it out.

Music: "100 Feet of Snow" by Sean Rock, off his album "Somewhere from Now," available at CDbaby.com

  • very nice video, i have a few questions about the flashlight u're holding.. is it off or on? i've never seen an IR light, and i have doubts. I think the flashlight is on, but i can see the light because of the filters, am I right?

  • Infrared light is mostly invisible to the human eye. When the light is on in pitch dark, the only thing you can see with the naked eye is a faint red glow. You have to have an infrared-sensitive camera to "see" the beam of light it gives off.

  • i can see IR light... is this normal?

  • Not sure what the point is to investigate in the dark. Ghosts afraid of light? Night makes since, it's quite, calm. But really.. just because GHI does it?

  • dude kick ass the filter on the camera chip you will see all and best IR brightness on cameras,the chip looks pink and blue.

  • please advise!!!!! you all know those dark black goggles used to protect the eyes when welding metal. can we use these dark lenses to make an Infrared flashlight?? or are they too opaque? thank you guys!

  • @gasdorf well if you add enough red filter in front of the light source any stock flashlight can be converted into an infrared light. Infra red light is invisible to the naked eye but can be detected by the night vision device. The key is you need to have sufficient red filters that are dark enough to block all the white light. Using that technique you can turn your flashlight "Light" completely invisible or hardly noticeable.

  • ~Nice video, what is the song name?
