As I am interested in purchasing one. Thank you!</p>

If I can find things like 'Light intensity', can I calculate the distance?</p>

Compare it if you will to dedicated security cameras. Their IR illuminators are generally a whole array of IR LEDs. Keep the above comment by dr.light in mind, though - 850nm does work better with cameras. SFE (still) doesn't have those back in stock, though :)</p>

Anyone know if these are a viable way to illuminate a dark scene viewed through an iPhone Camera?</p>

The 940-950nm is too long of a wavelength to be picked up well by IR cameras. Most IR cameras are most sensitive to the 850nm (or "almost red") area.<br>

couldnt you use a ps3 eye, OEM lense modded, with the correct bandpass filter installed?<br>
at any rate - 850 does perform a lot better - ive tested a number of ranges of IR over the past mos and ive settled on using 850nm LEDS and had some success with 780nm lasers...the 850 were out of stock from a supplier, and almost $30.00 more expensive!</p>

But this is what you would want for a remote control.</p>
