Here is a review with pictures of several NV LED lights using standard NV devices...

PS: Also, here is a review of multiple generations of Night Vision devices plus a new one (Super Vision--more or less light a Sony NightShot CCD device). Not an IR light review-but does show how various NV generations respond to IR lighting, both close and at distance. -BB

PPS: That last link is not dial-up modem friendly... Lots and lots of pictures on one page.

Depends on your application. I have the surefire M1. It has the most operational flexibility. It is a small tactical light with lanyard that can be used with PVS-7, PVS-14, and IR illuminators mounted on your handgun. For long range, I have used an IR filter on a Hotwire Maglite. That configuration pretty much overwhelms even Gen 3 night vision. Buying an IR filter for a Mag gives you the most options.
