.just to add a little bit; I remember a RIT publication where is stated
that black E6 film (the first part of your slide film, exposed and
processed) can be used as a IR filter, it will pass IR light (I checked
that with a spectrophotometer, it's correct). Th suggestion: tape this
black film on your strobe: voila a IR strobe!.. But beware, I also recall
that it caused a exploded flash tube, because of the heat of the strobe
which could not "move away" (clumsy description, don't no better right
now) Maybe WJ can fill in...
