    Infrared LED?

    Thanks for the reply, I just noticed radioshack carries IR led's, they say that they are 5mm (high intensity), but since IR isnt measured in candles or lumens how much output would that be, and how hard would it be to build a led light?

    Infrared LED?

    Anyone have any recommendations for a <50$ IR flashlight or strobe. It is to be used with a gen1+ Night vision device.

    braced in a shooting position, it takes some real talent to line up the dot on a target 200-300 yards away for 1-2 seconds. It just really seems like this was blown way out of proportion...

    Inova green X5 vs T3 Images

    Ok I messed with the camera and this pic is from 10 feet away. I'm starting to think maybe my experience with tac flashlights is skewed because I tried out my dad's and it was incredibly blinding. It was a surefire something.... anyways thanks for all your help, but what about the rechargeable...

    Inova green X5 vs T3 Images

    Well, I'm pretty sure its a Inova T3, it came in the box, looks exactly like it and came from batteryjunction.com. they are pretty reputable right? I'm wondering if my perception is just screwed up because of the lighting in here... so tonight I'm going on a night hike to test it out in complete...

    Yet another "Green laser shined at aircraft"

    Maybe I'm just one of those dumb people, but is this a highly powerful laser? I have a red aiming laser attached to a rifle scope, and I really can't image how this thing could possibly pose any threat to an aircraft. Is there something about the glass that would magnify or spread the beam or is...

    Inova green X5 vs T3 Images

    Here are my batteries. I'm really confused about the volt thing... the only warning I noticed was not to put them in a surefire. But I didn't buy a surefire and figured they would be fine. If it helps the beams look the same using duracell ultra's. Will these rechargeables burn out my lights...

    Re: Inova green X5 vs T3 Thanks for the fast replies. Ok so here is what I did. First I used the default duracell ultra's that came with them, then I switched the sets between the two. Later after my 4 RCR123a's had charged I used those between them as well. When used against my roommates...

    Inova green X5 vs T3 Images

    Ok, so I just got an inova x5 green led and a T3. My question is, as far as I can tell the x5 is much brighter than my t3? It projects much farther and is brighter overall... is this because the t3 is a white led, and the green x5 just shows up better?
