Looking to try a different illuminator that is more flood than it is spot. Would prefer it to be less than 4" x 4". Anyone have any good suggestions?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Any suggestions on a wide-angle coverage IR Illuminator

Check this Illuminator I've installed recently: Univivi IR Illuminator 6 Leds
It has a very good cover angle, and according to product info on Amazon the size is 4.9 x 4 x 4". I did not measure it before installing it but I think those dimensions are correct.

I forget, which illuminator did you have?
My old cmvision IR50 (30-45 degree spotlight) recently lost half its LEDs after being installed for 4 years. Just yesterday I replaced it with a Univivi 12 LED model (90 degree flood). It draws about 3-4 times more energy and is quite a lot bigger (certainly larger than 4x4 inches). It provides great wide coverage out to about 40-50 feet on my driveway before it really begins to lose effectiveness. The old illuminator was better beyond that, especially when it was in its prime condition.

This area is also lit by a couple IP cameras' integrated IR, so the difference is not as dramatic as you might expect.

I'm using this illuminator. It's okay but I would like something wider and similar in size.

Univivi has another model with 4 LEDs, similar in size to the one you have. Check it out: https://www.amazon.com/Univivi-U03R-WideAngle-Degree-Illuminator/dp/B00M3NHCC6/
The illumination angle should be the same as the one with 6 LEDs that I have, but as it has fewer LEDs it will have a little less lighting power.

Thanks! I've added it to my cart and plan to buy it soon. I'll try it out and compare it to the other one I have installed. Appreciate the help.
