Adafruit Super-bright 5mm IR LED

Infrared LEDs work well in remote controls and night vision cameras. These powerful blue variants emit at a 940nm wavelength, a standard for most devices. With a 20-degree beamwidth, these LEDs excel in remote control tasks, providing reliable performance.Capable of continuous operation at 100mA for night vision or handling up to 1 Amp pulses for infrared remote control applications, they offer versatility in various projects. For high-power use, pair them with power MOSFETs to enhance their capability.Create an efficient sender/receiver pair by adding an IR remote receiver sensor.
