Best Infrared Illuminators? Looking for suggestions.

guncollector · Nov 26, 2002

I'm well aware of the Surefire M1 Illuminator (pictured below) which uses a dedicated infrared LED.

But, what are some alternatives (more potent, more economical, etc.) from any of the flashlight makers?

Also, does anyone have experience with the Surefire's Infrared filters (like the F16)? I figure that filtering is not as power efficient as using a dedicated infrared LED, so I'm curious.

Thanks!

Dog-

Actually, I had seen your post and considered "making my own".

But decided to go for either a purpose-built infrared-illumination unit, or possibly using one of Surefire's infrared-filters.
