About half of the Bar West field in the Large Magellanic Cloud was scanned at 2.2 μm (K) and 3.5 μm (L) in an attempt to find luminous asymptotic giant branch stars with Mbol's brighter than -6.0 to -6.5. At L no sources were detected brighter than L = 7.0. The scans at K which are complete for sources brighter than 11.0, revealed 85 sources of which 57 could be identified with previously known M and C stars. The remaining objects comprise both early M stars and blue early-type stars, that could be foreground stars. It is concluded that there are no objects in the area searched with Mbol < -6.4 and TBB > 700K.
