Summary of FLIR TG165 for only 299EUR – it is a bargain!
The FLIR TG165 is an affordable imaging thermometer combining a 24:1 IR point thermometer with a Lepton chip camera. Priced at 299 EUR in October, it offers visual temperature distribution for inspecting electrical and mechanical components without the high cost of traditional thermal cameras. While exact temperatures are only precise at the center, it effectively identifies hot and cold spots.
Parts used in the FLIR TG165 Project:
- Infrared point thermometer
- LeptonR chip
- Visual imaging sensor
- Central thermometer
Now for only 299EUR and limited time. Do not hesitate, this price is valid only in October! Infrared thermometer or infrared camera? A typical dilemma, which device to choose can be solved very simply – by a purchase of imaging thermometer Flir TG165!
Thermal imaging camera is a great thing for various industrial segments, as we described to you for example in our article „Even hidden faults can be found with FLIR thermal cameras”. Perhaps the only disadvantage of quality thermal cameras are their prices. Especially for a casual usage perhaps majority of us will consider the 1000+ EURO investment for such a device.
The price of this perfect device now dropped to 299EUR!
A good job can be also done by an IR thermometer but by its usage we´re missing a unique feature of visual imaging of a temperature distribution in a given device. In reality perhaps nobody is able to make for example 3600 measurements ( 60x60px) within few seconds and consequently to make an idea how it looks with a temperature in a given device.
From this point of view – the novelty of company Flir – TG165 is a unique device intended for everyone, who wants to have a visual idea about temperature for an affordable price. TG165 is a combination of a quality IR “point” thermometer (24:1) with an IR camera with a new Flir „LeptonR“ chip.
Without a useless “going around” it can be straightly said, that the imaging functionality of TG165 has a fix-set range and that it´s not possible to exactly determine temperature from a displayed image (except a middle of the image, where it is measured exactly by a central thermometer). However, usually in praxis it doesn´t matter at all, because such imaging is sufficient to discover warmer/ colder places and consequently – it´s possible to focus a center of a measured field on a given “suspected” place.
In result, we get a device, which is in praxis fully usable for a visual inspection of distribution boxes, motors, compressors, PCBs and other for a roughly half price of a usual thermal camera.

- What is the main advantage of the FLIR TG165 over standard IR thermometers?
It provides visual imaging of temperature distribution which standard IR thermometers lack. - How much does the FLIR TG165 cost during the limited time offer?
The price is 299 EUR valid only in October. - Can you determine exact temperatures from the displayed image everywhere?
No, exact temperature determination is only possible at the middle of the image where the central thermometer measures. - Does the device work well for inspecting motors and PCBs?
Yes, it is fully usable for visual inspection of motors, compressors, distribution boxes, and PCBs. - What makes the FLIR TG165 unique compared to other thermal cameras?
It combines a quality IR point thermometer with an IR camera using a new LeptonR chip at half the usual price. - Is it possible to take thousands of measurements quickly with this device?
Unlike devices that can make 3600 measurements per second, this device focuses on visualizing temperature distribution rather than rapid individual point counting. - Why might someone choose the TG165 instead of a 1000+ EUR thermal camera?
It allows users to discover warmer or colder places and focus on suspected areas for roughly half the price.
