I agree with Bruce! I'll add a couple of observations, though: 1. A fresh battery works wonders. You'll need a teensy Philips screwdriver to get the thing apart, but then it's easy.
2. I suspect that other sources of infrared light might interfere; it seems to be becoming more reliable with compact fluorescents replacing incandescent bulbs.
