Sony HVL HIRL IR video light

Sony's HVL-HIRL video light serves two functions in one device. It works as an infrared NightShot light and 3-watt video light for Sony camcorders that fits easily as HotShoe accessory. The NightShot function works up to 23 feet, and the Super NightShot up to 66 feet. The light is powered by the camera battery, so it automatically shuts off when the handycam is put in standby mode. When it becomes dark, the HVL-HIRL has automatic and manual settings for variable light intensity. Light dimensions are 1.5 by 2.38 by 1.59 inches, and weight is 0.9 pounds. Also includes accessory pouch. Compatibility: Sony HC42, PC55, HC90, PC1000 and DVD 203 / 403 camcorders. more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-30-2008; S'port mom; Works a charm. Very simple to use. Has been a large help in the dim situations where the infrared was not desired because of turning everything a "spooky movie green". Glad I found it.; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-25-2007; Good Video Light but very pricey; Im using this HVL HIRL video light with a Sony HC7. Nightshots do get enhanced brightness (though not very much brighter that the unaided HC7 nightshot capability). Having said that, I must admit that it illuminates a roughly 3 ft (1m)...; read full review | report as inappropriate
