Infrared (IR) Lights In Action

Many customers ask us why are IR lights so effective on underwater cameras.  Here are a couple of videos showing the effectiveness of IR lighting. Both videos are on the same body of water and same area 1-year apart. These videos are shot at night in over 30-feet of water on a river system that would be considered moderately dark water clarity. You will notice how different the particulates are from one year to the next as water conditions were slightly different. In both cases the IR lighting shows the angler the Sturgeon coming into the viewing zone. LED’s lights would have given the viewers a snowstorm look preventing decent viewing.
