(...) I imagine that - even if using such an IR LED as a beacon - roomlight etc. will still be the major problem. So, I'm pretty sure that a quite simple means at the detector side would simplify such a project dramatically: an optical IR filter. (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well, I do now! I bought three last night. I got a GaAs IR LED that was clearly made for a remote control application.
