I need:
a light that will mount on a camcorder
Has a good battery supply. over an hour if possible.
Has a pretty good distance. more than 10 feet.
was curious, does anyone know what type of IR lights they mount on their cameras on Ghost Hunters?

I have a JVC model digital camcorder It is Super LoLux but it has no night vision. I bought a IR light of ebay and all I get is a narrow field of view and a short distance. maybe 10 feet.

I use either the Sony HVL-IRH2 (hot shoe compatible/no battery needed), or Sony HVL-IRM (the one you see on Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures, mounted on an external arm). They both work extremely well.
Your best bet for night vision would be to start off with an inexpensive Sony camcorder with NightShot. I bought 2 off eBay, each with 30gig hard drives, for about $200 apiece.
Search YouTube, as well. You can see videos of people with all sorts of camera/light configurations.

Paul Bradford with Creepy Hollow Gear makes a few great outboard IR & UV lights. They runs on 9v for hours and perform as good if not better than the commercial lights out there.
I agree, I now own 3 of the Creepy Hollow Illuminators and dont even use my brand name ones anymore.
I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for additional Night vision Illumination
I have his Ver.1 light but theres a floodlight I want to get next that looks good

These are new from a friend of mine named Brad Lane. He has really put together some versatile lighting solutions. I am about to order the IR/UV flood light, and will post my thoughts after putting it through it's paces.
