Got my IR illuminator in Sunday. Opened it up tonight... Viridian V210 manual zoom IR.
$158 on clearance for $29... I couldn't resist. I did cheap out on the manual zoom. Power zoom was another $20 I think. Totally worth it I'm sure.
I knew they make good stuff. I didn't realize I was getting a whole kit though. Came with the light, rechargable lithium battery w/charger, weapon mount, and pressure switch tailcap.
The build quality of this thing seems very high. Tight fit, smooth operation, positive control buttons...
Interesting side note, my phone camera picks up the spectrum slightly... All you can see with the naked eye is the chip glowing red.
My weapon mounted NV module has a small illuminator on it. I can see pretty well out to 25yds or so, maybe more. With this thing I can see clearly 100yds easy and at full zoom it puts a square IR light out a helluva ways. Bright AF...
Going to spend some time playing with it. I'll try to get some pics through the optic when I get a chance. Also need to dig out my NV monocular and see how much better it is with an illuminator...
