I'm not actually sure... with a laser transmitter the range is huge, but I'm not sure what range you'll get with IR leds. I'll do a little test tomorrow using a TV remote control tomorrow.

Don't worry. its ok. the most important think is that you all are giving your valuable time in it. let see what i can do. i'll post it here, what i may do.
 
The range of an ordinary TV remote to the IR receiver IC in a TV is at least 10m. Mine works at a range of 15m when I shine it on the rear wall and it bounces to the TV in front.

The TV remote BLASTS IR with peak current of about 1A.
