  Yeah, when can I get my Full Spectrum one? hahaha
  
  I have the UV one and it's great. Can you detail what the Full Spectrum will be like? Will it be white light or a mixture of IR/UV?

  LoL ... I will be releasing the full spectrum's very soon before the end of the month that's for sure. Well for the design i can say no clear or white LED's will be on the boards. When i started working on the full spectrum boards the white or clear just did not work right. lets just say they will be the first of there kind and will make your full spectrum camera or camcorder SHINE...

  Myself and the rest of Beyond Ghosts had the pleasure of using a Phantom Lite Illuminator this past Sunday and I have to say that it lives up to the hype. I put this thing up against my Sony IR Illuminator and the Phantom Lite blew it away! There was not even a comparison! Also, the battery life for the amount of IR's is excellent. One 9 volt battery lasts the entire investigation and the lite was still nice and bright. For the money, you can't beat this IR lite. Check it out and I promise you will not be dissappointed! I can't wait to use it again!

  So for 31 bux I can get this 25 led IR Light and it has the side mount for my little handheld camcorder?? I've been looking for something like this for a while. Do you have anything to show in comparison to a Sony HVL-IRM IR? It is one that I have been considering picking up.

  Ya know I see those Sima ones around everywhere and everyone says that the light is okay but the power source sucks! You have to charge it for 3 hours to get 45 minutes of it, Not acceptable. But you say yours will run up to 12 hours on 1 9V battery? that about sells me there. But I'm still curious about the sony one.

  I'm curious about what kind of warranty you will cover on these.

  Hi Ryan
  Yes my lights have a mounting adapter included to mount it to a camcorder bracket i can also supply the adapter to connect my light directly to the camcorder. This is your choice when you place the order. As of now i do not have a picture of the sony against my light i am working on that. Here is a review from Ryan
  
  Beyond Ghosts just used the Phantom Lite illuminator this weekend at an investigation and it kicked ass! I gave it the "Pepsi challenge" against my Sony IR light and it blew it away! I recommend these lights to any paranormal investigator. You won't be disappointed! Video and pics coming soon of us in action with the Phantom lite!
  
  Yes sir! that 12 hours was with a super cheap 9v! if you add a energizer you will get way more time. plenty of time for investigating .
  
  I stand by lights 100% your not happy im not happy FULL refund. Out of all of them i have sold not 1 negative feedback!! and that has to tell you something...check out my site for the video review from parachasers www.phantomlite.com
  any more questions just post them up

  Thanks for the quick responses Randy. I will definitely be interested in the info that Beyond Ghost will be providing vs the Sony, so please post back here when that info is available.
  
  In your opinion is it better for the light to be shoe mounted or on the side? I kind of like the idea of using the bracket on the side, then you can kind of rotate the light left and right to kind of 'aim' the light.
  
  How heavy is the light, when the battery is in? Just kind of want an idea.
  
  Also one other question. I have a pocket camcorder from best buy, there is no 'nightshot' feature. I know a cameras lens can see IR but will this be able to work properly if the camera doesn't have a night shot feature? Just curious - here is the model im talking about: http://bit.ly/bFa8tZ
  
  It's a nice little camcorder for 79.00
  
  Also if I wanted a shoe mount adapter as well as the bracket how much extra would you charge? I'm assuming they are interchangeable.

  The light is not that heavy at all.. i would say not that much more than the weight of the 9v battery..If you go to ghoststop.com you can see my light there connected to one of those camcorders you have. you would still be able to see with my light through your camcorder but it would not show up that great because of the ir filter that is in your camcorder.. If you had a night shot or night mode camera or camcorder you would really see a huge difference with my lights.that camcorder you have will almost block all the ir light from my lights..
  
  you would get any one you wanted that would come with the light the other one would be an extra 1.00
  
  the best camcorder to get would be a mini dv that has night shot on it...they are small and light weight just like yours and could be had on ebay for good price...
  
  I like to set the lights up on a tripod to add extra ir for my dvr cameras also for a bracket on my camcorder.
