There are several ways to accomplish this. The first and most obvious choice would be to change out the current IRED for one with a higher lumen output, with a narrower beam divergence. If that's not practical, possibly a focusing lens system and even using a tube with lenses in it to create a different `depth of field` system.

The next step is to amplify the receiving signal, thereby creating a more sensitive receiver. That involves some additional electronics. You can also look for a more sensitive IR receiver diode, or a transistor amplified diode receiver pack.

Without knowing the distances you're trying to cover, I can't offer much more in the way of advice.

Which component can replace the infrared LED in any electronics circuit?

If a circuit requires an IR LED, it requires an IR LED, there is no replacement. If a circuit does not require an IR LED, there is no need to look for a replacement.


How do you use ir led?

IR LED will be having connecting leads same as ordinary LED. When ever we use IR LED, which works like a transmitter we have to connect a photo diode as a receiver (very near to IR LED). So as we know IR LED keeps on emitting IR radiations photo diode will keeps on receiving, it in a reflecting surface. In case if the surface not reflect IR radiation(Black surface obsorbs IR). the input to the photo diode becomes nil, and photo diode wont work and hence the circuit. inform.mayaprasad@gmail.com

Can you increase amps without having an increase in volts?

In general, increased resistance will lower current draw. See ohm's law (V = IR)


Circuit diagram of IR TV remote control using 8051 microcontroller also explain its working?

the 8051 is a micro controller the buttons tell the 8051 to do something there is an ir led on an output bit of the 8051 that shines on the tv ir detector it pulses a code the tv knows or window fan, ac , vcr, dvd the other output bits are used to scan multiple buttons like the difference between a rotary and touch tone Phone ive seen them with tms1000 and z8 thermostats may have 68hc11 it has 8 channel a/d right on it circuit diagram is very trivial its all in how you pulse the led
