Hi all,
There seems to be some confusion between Mark Carter who commented on LED lights and Mike Carter, who does not seem to have contributed to this discussion.
Cheers,

Infra Red light would be good for actually locating creatures (the body heat produces infra red light I believe) but identification would be limited by the monochrome nature of any images produced. Don't know if Ultra Violet light, being at the other end of the light spectrum is any better or worse. Both IR and Ultra Violet are outside the visible light spectrum and need special devices to interpolate them so humans can 'see' them.
