IR Flashlight Review

We review three IR (infra Red) Flashlights and one Weapon Mounted IR Laser to compare their effectiveness on distant objects. We used a PVS-14 Night vision device and a Digital Camera for filming this test.
There was no moon on a clear night in the mountains above Tucson at 4500 feet and 38 degrees

We tested;
a Surefire M1 Infrared Illuminator
and a High Powered 3W InfraRed IR Drop-in Module inside a Surefire G3 that cost under $20
and a 12-LED IR InfraRed Flashlight that cost under $10
and a Laser Devices DBAL A2 IR Laser / Illuminator / Visible Laser

Hey can u post a link to the second light in the video? i cant find where to get one

[saltocaza]

what type of Infrared IR flashlight are you using, i live in Uruguay (South America) and i love hunting with my night vision but i am looking for a good Infrared IR flashlight, can you please send me the model, thank you very much for your time, have a nice day.

[satsunuku]

@newbreed494 Yes, it is. I played at a big 14-hour overnighter last August with the drop-in lamp with an ATN NVD and it still worked out pretty well.

I'm looking at a similar (or the same) drop in for my Surefire 6P. I believe that the peak wavelength is about 800 nm. Can anyone comment about how well this will work with 1st generation night vision?

[turftamper]

Great video! Nice night vision. I have a Sony SR-11 camcorder that has. I'm just wondering which would give the best light output a 3 watt light with a red lens or a 3 watt IR light?

[RuffRyding]

where could i get a IR flashlight thats got decent range and isnt really visable to the naked eye
