Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: - if you are using these in wii sensor bars they will work perfectly :)

Pros: used to give a bit more light on a infrared camera did exactly what they should do.
 
Cons: faint red glow, not really a con, expected it, doesnt effect anything.
 
Other Thoughts: One day, the Pope is  visiting America and driving around Washington in his limo when he gets an idea.
"Driver? Can I drive for a while?"
"Sure," says the driver. How can you say no to the Pope? So the Pope takes the wheel and starts driving like a maniac all around Washington -- dodging in and out of traffic, going eighty, cutting people off. Soon, a cop pulls him over. But when the Pope rolls down the window, the cop stops dead in his tracks, and goes back to the car.
"We got somebody really important here," he says to his partner.
"Who is it? Is it a senator?"
"No. More important."
"The president?"
"No. More important."
"An ambassador? Who?"
"I don't know. But the Pope is his driver."
 
Bottomline: buy these if you need them they are cheap

Pros: I bought these for use with the wiimote in conjunction to form a wii multi-touch whiteboard. I am very impressed, and would recommend these to anyone who's been opening expensive remotes to find short or broken LED's, VERY CHEAP and EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE.
 
Cons: None found to this day
 
Other Thoughts: Dealextreme is an excellent and trustable source which should be trusted. I was scared of buying online at first, but am now a VERY happy customer, looking to place my fifth order. Thank's DX!!!
 
Bottomline: Recommended if needed

Pros: Long connect point. Fits in pcb boards flawlessly. came quickly and in a nice package. Used it in conjunction with a webcam and replaced it's lights with these and they are very powerful
 
Cons: None everything seems to check out. titter twitter 500 character thingy
 
Other Thoughts: could have indicated positive and negative points but wasn't a problem for me. be careful with IR leds as you cannot see them but it will continue to damage your eyes because they do not adjust to the radiation and burn.
 
Bottomline: Good sturdy build all should buy. Remember it is in a red package that is all bubbly wrapped for your convinience.
