Thank you @Gordon for the clarification. That was the snippet I was using.
Now for the tough part. How to troubleshoot IR detection, when one is unable to see infrared output. Sorry, only born with super human strength and X-Ray vision.
Have an IR pair circuit with three inches separating the detector and emitter, as in a beam break circuit. When the beam is broken, a colored LED illuminates. This works as expected.
However, when I substitute the Puck for the emitter, [Puck visible LED side facing detector] there isn't any apparent detection.
ahhh ha!! . . . Forgot the old cell phone video mode trick. That device does make the IR LED transmission visible.
Wondering what the Puck IR emitter range is? In my circuit, I seem to need to be quite close. e.g. One inch. Are you able to point me to a spec sheet? Any experience with an expected transmission distance?

Should your click event 'turn on a cheap IR lightbulb is' be different, than when clicked I get:

Should your link be working, I wonder if browser caching is partly a cause. I'm using Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115
or, . . . as we suspect here in the States that all web traffic is intercepted and stored in the massive Zettabyte storage site in Utah USA, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center
and the returned link became corrupt from their tampering somehow.
