Re: IR filters

   I have a couple PIAA 959s in my garage, they seem ideal candidates for 
   this modification.  All metal, they should take the heat of a big bulb.  
   Small, so smaller IR filter needed, and tidy.  How big a bulb?

How much power really is needed? The source laser *must* be down in the
milliwatt range, and must be reading microwatt levels reflected back. It
seems like a flashlight pointed at the source would completely swamp any
reflected signal, let alone requiring megawatt QH bulb assemblies . . .
Just kinda curious.
