Extreme CCTV makes some nice illuminators.
http://www.extremecctv.com/home.php  They're expensive though.  It's not
so much the distance you want to "see" but the "field of view".  Pace
that out in the daytime and you can determine your requirements for
illumination from that.  I'm not sure what your application is, but a
cheap flood light motion sensor would probably serve you well.
