I have a question for the experts in this forum:
I have an old xenon weapon light with infra red lens on it for using with gen 2+ weapon scope.
I tried to change the xenon light to a led light(cree C8) and the IR filter blocks 80% of the light.
I should mention that cree C8 has much more throw and delivers much more light compared with the xenon light.
What kind of led light should I use with IR filter?
Guy.

IR LED with no filter. Colored LED dosen't produce any IR at all, so filter will just block all the light instead.
