We use several FLIRs here at MidNite... Invaluable tool for LOTS of
reasons.
You can by a FLIR E4: 80 x 60 resolution brand new on Amazon for $925.
There are other deals for less than this as Marco pointed out, too.

Yes, Bill…I’d recommend going with a Flir. You should be able to find
a Flir 4 for something around $1,000 on eBay.
This tool is invaluable when it comes to identifying hot spots. Now
getting the manufacturer to do anything about it without pulling the
mods out of the string and testing the *&^% out of them….that’s a
separate issue.

Fellow Wrenches,
Has anyone made use of any InfraRed (Thermal) cameras for diagnosing
module performance faults?
Thanks,
