I knew someone had posted this info not too long ago and finally located it. From @handinpalm ==>> 120 VAC 850nm IR Light, E27 Socket
It may get lost between the images so it bears repeating what he stated: "....I have only found these from an EBay seller in NY. He has both 940nm and 850nm, so make sure you get the 850nm, if you get them.
EDIT: I found that eBay vendor's most recent listing and yes, they're pricey but amazingly the price is the same as it was in Nov. of '21.==>> LED3x3 Watt 850nm IR Infrared illuminator Spot-light E27 bulb for CCTV Cameras

Much better option.

A little more expensive, but maybe more versatile. If you could or have constant 120Vac at the lamp socket (line + neutral), you may install a separate ir illuminator (with built-in light sensor) near the lamp, and you still use the lamp switch

Oh, I would agree and 12VDC versions is all I have and all that I've installed, but the OP was interested in a IR lamp that would operate in a 120VAC lamp socket.

I realize that, It's my misreading. @sebastiantombs mentions 3 watts, and that's what stuck in my head. 3 Watts won't do much, me thinks, but then I re-read it just now, and the bulb is 3x3Watts, IE 9watts total.
As always, YMMV.
