IrLEDs
We need a significant amount of Infrared LEDs, probably somewhere between 200-400.
The problem is that they're quite expensive, so we're gonna try 100 LEDs first and see if we get proper results with them. I emailed Ole to ask where we can buy them because I've tried on two different websites but failed on both.
The LED we're looking at is the OSRAM SFH 485-2. It has a good value (light) for money and the light is quite focused (20 degrees).
I added a setup of the possible LED circuitry.
