Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sima SL-20IR Night vision Video Light (Black)

Customer Review: 4-star paranormal review
Summary: 4 Stars

Ordered this to use in paranormal investigations using both Sony DCR-HC38 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom and Sony DCRTRV22 MiniDV Camcorder with 2.5" LCD, Color Viewfinder & Memory Stick Capability camcorders.

Pros:
IR light is pretty bright
Comes with a bracket (although not pictured for some reason)

Cons:
Light is more of a spotlight beam than a wide-area flood light which seems to be the norm
Does not accept external batteries (ex: AA)
Internal rechargeable battery is not replaceable (once it finally dies the light is done)
Will not work while AC charger is plugged in (Sima is coming out with the SL-100IR which will work while plugged in but still will not accept external batteries)
Long charge time (2.5 - 3 hours)
Short life-span per charge (~45 minutes)

My advice is don't drop this light. It is made entirely of plastic and weighs almost nothing. I can't imagine it handling even a small drop very well. For the price this does the job. Compared to the price of the Sony HVLIRM Battery IR Light for DCR-DVD101, 201, 301, 105, 205, 305, 405, 505, DCR-HC21, 32 42, 26, 36, 46 & 96 Camcorders I will probably always replace my IR lights with the Sima unless I find something else in the same price range that allows for AA batteries.
