I was under the impression you don't need them. I've heard supposedly it's designed to pick up light. I had a friend of mine looking to use is Wii on a huge screen but he wasn't happy with the placement of the bar, so I told him to put a light above him on the sealing and some reflective tap on both sides of the screen in the center. He said it worked like a charm even better the the sensor bar. I've never tried it myself so I don't know if it actually worked.
I've also hear that even candles on both sides of the tv would work.

So I don't think they have to be IR.
