3W IR Power Led 850nm - 60 Degree Infrared Led

3W 850nm High-Power Infrared LED – 60° Lens Integrated (1.5V - 1.8V)

Product Overview:

Equip your security and optical systems with high-intensity infrared output using the 3W 850nm High-Power Infrared (IR) LED. Emitting at 850nm, this industry-standard NIR wavelength provides the ideal balance between high camera sensor sensitivity and long-range illumination.

Equipped with an integrated 60-degree optical lens, it focuses radiant flux into a tight beam pattern to maximize power density and projection distance. Designed as a bare emitter, it offers total mounting versatility for custom PCBs, aluminum heatsink modules, and CCTV night vision arrays.

Key Features:

• Industry-Standard 850nm NIR Spectrum: Optimized for maximum sensitivity with standard digital camera sensors and CCTV security systems.
• Focused 60° Optical Lens: Concentrates light output into a 60-degree beam angle to deliver high irradiance over target surfaces with minimal light spill.
• Low Forward Voltage (1.5V - 1.8V): Efficient electrical profile designed for seamless integration with low-voltage power supplies and constant-current drivers.
• CCTV & Phototherapy Applications: Perfect for long-range night vision illuminators, speed enforcement cameras, and deep-tissue light therapy panels.
• Bare Emitter Format: Direct thermal connection compatibility for mounting onto external aluminum heatsinks or custom circuit board layouts.

Technical Specifications:

Primary Applications:

• CCTV & Surveillance Night Vision: Primary choice for high-power security camera illuminators, license plate recognition (ANPR) systems, and long-range IR spot lights.
• Red Light & NIR Phototherapy: Used in deep-tissue heating, muscle recovery units, joint pain therapy, and photobiomodulation (PBM) panels.
• Machine Vision & Industrial Automation: Suitable for industrial optical inspection, barcode reading, object tracking, and sorting systems.
• Laboratory & Custom R&D: Ideal for prototyping custom IR light engines, optical barriers, and scientific instruments.

Critical Operating & Safety Guidelines:

• Current-Limiting Circuit Required: Operating at 1.5V – 1.8V DC, this LED must be driven using a dedicated Constant Current Driver (600mA–700mA) or a current-regulated circuit. Direct connection to a constant voltage power supply without current limiting will cause instant thermal runaway and destroy the chip.
• External Aluminum Heatsink Required: High-power 3W LEDs generate significant localized heat. The emitter must be mounted directly onto an adequate external aluminum heatsink using thermally conductive adhesive or thermal paste prior to applying power.
• Invisible Radiation / Eye Safety: At 850nm, light output produces only a faint red glow to the naked eye while emitting high-intensity infrared radiation. Do not look directly into the lens when powered on. Wear appropriate infrared eye protection during testing and assembly.
