Flashlight

I just bought 2, 500 lumen CREE flashlights from costco for $30. I assure you they will light up the reflective target from across the field. They are currently powered by 3C batteries, but they could easily be changed. I would also create a smaller "pin hole" in front of the lens to focus the beam a little better.

When I talked to Code Red (2771) at Traverse City, they had an infrared filter over their camera and an infrared light next to it. The said it produced an image where only the goals were visible making image processing easier. I am sure they have more information, but I will be trying it this summer.

This is the wrong approach to create an aim point. You want to collaminate as much light as possible, not reduce the emission with a pinhole.
