Hi ,i am new here so if this has been up before please forgive me .
So ,,i have this cheap nightvision 1G type ,,and really, without some extra light it is not worth much
A friend has a ATN 450mw IR iluminator nice but pricey
Then i on ebay i bought a Huntlight 1 WAT IR flashlight
Well its actually god ,,but it throws the beam to wide for my use sins i have a 3x lens on the NV
Soo after looking here i did remember that i did have a colminator lens
Took the Huntlight apart .the colminator did fit perfect ,and now it has a nice beam about what my friends ATN has when on full focus
BUT it is not so powerful as the atn (didnt expect that either )
On Kaidomain they have a 3Wat IR diode ,i have ordered one already ,just to see how it is (not here yet )
I know about Deal extreme ,but they only have a 0,5 wat
On ebay one has a 5 Wat but is asking $32 :duh2:
I know the Wat number wont tell me how many lumens i will get ,i really would wish they did put the lumen numbers on instead/also of wat
So has anybody made a Ir flashlight ,,it has to reach out to about 130 meters
Where to buy a god powerful Ir diode and driver that fits .it dosnt need strobe or sos .but different settings would be nice
And what would be best reflector ,colminator (my best bed)or lens ?
I have been thinking of one of those 3x or 4x colminator lenses
I am located in Europe so it dosnt matter custom vise( got to pay ) if it is from us or asia
Ps ,,very nice forum here :thumbsup:
