Just a thought I had pass through my head, throwing it out there to see what people think. Feel free to tell me how stupid I am.
I, like many people, have IR Cameras in my theatre. but being in the back of the house, the built in IR LEDs don't illuminate the stage much. Also, they're on the same axis as the camera, so specks of dust appear to be the brightest things on screen.
To alleviate these problems, you install IR Illuminators. But these are mostly made for security systems and feature DC power plugs and are tiny and hard to mount.
.... So what if a Colorsource fixture had an integrated IR LED in its matrix?
This would be useless in a Colorsource CYC, but very useful function in a Colorsource PAR.... Possibly even in a Spot unit?
You could have the additional menu setting to have the IR LED:
"Always On"
"Always Off" (so you don't ruin any live to video with an IR wash)
"On while dark" (which would turn on the IR LED when the visible light LEDs were off)
