I get a lot of requests for 940nm IR but when customers realize that they lose a lot of IR distance they usually go for regular IR.

I've done a fair amount of work with 940nm for Police work. You lose IR range, but if you're doing work in the woods, it's pretty important. For building/indoor/resi work, I don't really see the point
