Help sourcing IR LEDs

[Materdaddy]

I'm looking to outfit a DIYC Flood for blasting my guests with 940nm-950nm IR. This is to have them bring their own Disney® Glow With The Show™ hats to my display and take control of them. I have a couple of those floods un-built from a previous group buy so I already have constant current LED drivers and the rest of the BOM. I simply need to find some 5mm Piranha Style Super Flux LEDs that are 940-950nm.

I tried a few google searches and the only ones I could find were either 850nm which won't work, or minimum order qty of 2k+.

I know some of you out there probably have some places for me to check, especially those of you running stores/group buys.

Thanks in advance for the tips!

Well you can always put 2 or more ones in each slot.

This one has a 30deg angle. The ir led seam to suck down quite a bit of power though so i am not sure they will work.

There are quite a few higher power 940nm IR LEDs out there (1W - 20W are easy to find). They will need some changes to the power supply to drive.

I thought he we looking for Piranha style, which are the 4 pin square devices. (I opted to create a small daughter card that contains 15 standard 5mm leds, and uses a resistor for the constant current source. So far so good). I can post gerbers if anyone else wants to try.

I looked for some to make a IR Flood out of a DIYC Flood board for a CCTV camera, but could not find any that were not in the visible range. Let me know if you find anything.

Vishay has one of the best product selections. If your looking for a 4 leg thru hole?

Mouser just added these... are these drop-in replacements to fit the DIYCFlood?

Should I get a different LED driver?

I'm going to place a mouser order tomorrow for these and hopefully get myself a GwtS transmitter this year after all!

How hard would your solution be to perfboard? I might go this route since it's probably too late for me to get a PCB made.

Easy Peasy... the schematic is no different than the MightyMini LED flood. Several (three) leds in series with a resistor. Put a few of those in parallel, and toss in a MOSFET to trigger/control the mess.

Recommendation on a .1" spaced MOSFET that would go on perfboard easily and work well for this?
