"Steve,

The INFRAred LED systems are used for pulsed coding (tv remote controls etc.) and when any power is
required, they are built into large arrays. An example of the array design is the hearing impaired
assistance system which uses large infrared LED panels to cover the auditorium. These systems
provide excellent sound without the need for radio broadcast or reception. The cinema sound
application requires a large amount of continuous concentrated energy in a small space. The
continuous generation of IR causes a problem. IR is good but heat is not good. The IR wavelengths
approach heat.

KEN"<<

That comment, in respect to this application is indeed silly. Since the IR light is what the solar cell is most sensitive to, less output was needed. Furthermore, less heatsinking was used on the IR systems. While your descriptions of the other uses of the IR system may very well be true, they do not pertain to the reading of optical soundtrack as used in motion picture projection systems.

Steve,

Send me the part number and source of your high powered IR LED and I will evaluate it.
