The LED in the remote is not driven very hard, only has 3 volts or so behind it and is pulsing.

Take a look at this

The LEds used are "high power" and you could even use the lens setup for a spot light kind of thing. Take a key-chain LED and a magnifying glass and at the correct LED to lens distance... well you will be surprised. Good for demonstrations.

That was an interesting read, I'll have a look around and try and source some parts for and IR led and lens combo.

I must say though I was very surprised the Badger hung around for 47 photo's and wasn't scared off by the flash continually firing.

I've had an idea to make my fortune by the way:

The fact that I captured a Badger at my very first attempt means I must be a natural at this
And I've heard that you guys in America have a thing called the Bigfoot or the sasqcatch that nobody has any pictures of right? I coud be that man! Then again the Badger has pretty big claws not to mention a Bear and as for Bigfoot.....perhaps I'd better reconsider

Camera's set up for night3.

Please note the cunningly hidden PIR detector inside the old Cornflakes packet itself inside a polythene bag (bottom LHS).

If you could place some of the IR LEDs as close as you have the PIR you should be able to light the feed dish up like daylight.

Another thought .... Good thing big foot does not eat peanuts

I'll see what I can order up. It will be interesting to see the results of an LED v's flashgun.

Too right, The Badger's costing me a fortune......
