Okay, at this point I'm just talking to myself, but here's the main issue as I see it.
Say you can generate standardised amounts of near IR light using the above mentioned LED's, the source will likely *not be flat across all frequencies.
To measure that curve requires something that *is sensitive to IR light, like say, an astronomical camera. Only problem is that also has a sensitivity curve.
So the question really becomes; "can you compensate for the emission and detection curves of the source and the sensor with enough accuracy to generate a reasonably accurate plot of the human eye's response?"
I don't know if I'll actually get around to experimenting with this. The datasheet also says this thing is pretty bright and not to look directly at it. I also know that prolonged exposure to IR light causes cataracts, so something to be wary of.
Okay, I'll stop talking to myself now :-D
