Led Lights

[leeroy 29]

I have been looking around at the Led lights for scope mount. I want to put it on a 22.250 so need a tight beam. I have a few Lightforce lamps but am looking to cut down on the size and neaten up the rifle and just make it a bit easer to handle. I started off looking at the Lazer ND3X50 subzero but am not sure if any good , some say it is and some say not. So I have had a look at the Led torches that are around. Idealy I want one that you can plug into a power pack so not eating batterys any ideas?. I dont mind paying if its good. Any help would be great cheers.

if the lazer you were looking at was the one that throws the green beam i would steer away from it my freind had one dropped on him by a bloke who bought it new to test it i personally think there dangerous you could blind some one with it and they strain your eyes but thats just my opinion

The ND3x50 subzero isn't available in the UK yet - the standard ND3x50 is.

 

I started another post on this equipment last week, as I'd also like a scope mounted light.

 

Opinions seem to vary lots, however I've spoken to someone that's pretty experienced with NV equipment, and who has also used the ND3x50.

He reckons it's much better that Gen1 NV kit, but has the added benefit of being able to be used as a 'light' when looking for foxes.

 

What's clear is it is very powerful and the concept is sound, however insufficient reviews have been done to make an objective decision.

 

Predictably, folks who have spent £1000's on NV equipment, are anti this equipment, so I'm continuing to examine the benefits & dis-benefits.

 

So far, I'm leaning towards getting one !

Thats good info I must say I am thinking of importing one, I keep looking at the Led lights but the beam looks to have a lot of spread and eats the batteries. I dont want to go with NV if I can help it If you find out more please let us know Thanks

This is the nearest I can find to an independent report: (sorry about the scan quality)

 

It'd be nice to see technical comparison between this and a Gen 1 NV mind !

Thats not a bad write up im still not sure though I must say if I could go and see one working it would make it a lot easer to make my mind up. In the USA they do a 30 day money back its a pity they do not do that here I would order one to try. There has got to be some one out there that has one I will have to have a look to see where the nearest stockest is at least could have a chat and a look.

Just thought about a downside using this or any scope mounted light - pop up scope covers !

 

Suppose they could be angled ....

I'm sure I've seen these torches mounted on the side of a scope.
