Hi,
IR leds... like any led stuff have epoxy container and some "cup" stuff... these things have a strong impact on e.g. aperture angle of light emitted... you can test very easy...

use an IR camera or a simple CCD one in low light ...dark room.

Power the led and point horizontal... put the camera vertical above it at 20-30cm from it... then spray around some stuff... like e.g. some deodorant spray thing.

The aerosol stuff made of thiny particles will scatter IR photons you''ll see at camera ... that way you'll see the conic shaped "beam" so the angle.

At meters this kind of propagation will make you "illuminate" several square meters of soil... cause these things are not lasers... their use is mostly for remote controls and it's good for remotes having such large diffusion of IR light, otherwise you'll have to aim the remote to the VCR/DVD thing... (like in cheap chinese stuff, very annoying ! )

If wanna a narrow spot you MUST use a laser module...

So I don't understand which concentration you're talking about ?

As always...

Kind regards,
Max
