Hi, I’m using FTIR setup and i can buy this leds

5mm + 940nm + 60º + 60 mW/Sr

VDC = 1,5V - 1,6 V ; Vmax = 2,1V

Thanks from Argentina,Mar del Plata.

I´ve tested this leds and 5mm + 850nm + 30º + 50 mW/Sr and the 850nm work a lot better.

850nm is more easily picked up by normal webcams than 940 or higher nm.
A problem might be that these leds are a bit dim (only 50 mw/sr).
For example the sfh485 has a brightness of 160mw/sr.
