Natural Light Light bulbs, Track IR

[polecat]

I have not seen this mentioned but I have found that my trackIR 3 Pro w/ Vector is negatively effected by natural light style light bulbs.

I Have a small desk lamp behind me that has a 40 watt Natural Light style light bulb in it. If this light is on while TIR is enabled the tracking goes haywire and jumps around. This does not seem to be a problem with other normal light bulbs but the natural light ones cause the TIR to go crazy.

Thought you might like to know.

I have problems with all natural backlight and have to close curtains. When my wife lights a TL light, it also degrades TIR performance (chaotic respons and movements). Maybe adjusting light filter settings help, but not for me alas. So I sit in the dark, and during the day I cannot use the TIR (Pro 3).

What I have done is to put a small bedside lamp on top of the monitor, then turn off all the lights in the room. I also make sure there is no light source behind me.
Works so much better and can still read the keyboard.

Since the sun is the whole day on my computer room i just close the curtains when i want to play a game. Always does the job for me, though usualy i need to track down the spots the sun is coming through.

And in the night i can just play with the lights on since it doesnt seem to affect the tir, then again my lights are mounted on the roof and are aimed at 2 different walls.

Would the idea of the LED pointing to the TIR unit solve this issue as well?
