If you are talking about the Pulsar Digex, then yes looking pretty good so far but limited testing done because of lockdown. Additional IR in the form of a LL 940nm Wraith with 2x lens makes it even better. Still waiting for DE`s to come from Clive Ward for comparison.

DE`s are back from Clive and tested. Can confirm that 940nm is the way to go with the Digex and nothing between the DE and Wraith.

For anyone who's interested, a 3D model is currently being worked on. Once that's been finalised, it will get 3D printed to test fit and function. Once that's successful we'll go forward with production. Will update when we have more information. 

 

Well done, keep up the good work.

Both spoken for again now.

Just got back in from testing the pard 008 with the wraith x2 850nm and I thought it would be good, works brilliant and doesn't hardly need the power turning down at all closer in, 300+ yds was well illuminated and pretty clear on 6x but you lose a bit of clarity when you zoom to 13x.

Sounds about the same as I have found with the DE on the Pard008.

Hi blueroll, yep it might be to much, and I thought the same when we tried it alongside the photon rt but it worked great with that when the power was turned down at closer range then really good when turned back up at long range, exept everything is small at long range with the rt and when you x up the picture gets a bit crap but it was well illuminated, we tried a pbir on the rt one night and that just whited out at all ranges.

I'll try the wraith 850 x2 with the pard 008 tonight to see how it works with that.

The Dark Engine 850nm is brilliant with the Pard008 so I expect the Wraith will be just as good.

Interesting. Is your Digex the N450?

What distance advantage would you estimate the Ludicrous Lumens Wraith gives you over the supplied illuminator? I would happily consider a LL product but gave up trying to deal with Clive Ward years ago!

Yes mine is the 450 (its only the supplied IR that is different between the 450/455). I have only been able to try out the LL Wraith 940nm out the back window but is easily illuminating trees at a known distance 254 yards, compared to circa 100-150yds with the supplied IR. Also the big advantage with the LL Wraith is the LACK of light spill/reflection back off the moderator, which is terrible with the supplied IR.

Hi 17rem, I bought a LL wraith 850nm x2 for the drone, it is brilliant, has a switch which is reasonably quite compared to others, and a you can turn the power up and down to suit and avoid white out, tried it with my mate's photon rt aswell and it was really good on that also when turning the power level down.

I've not tried the 940nm like blueroll, but can tell you that the wraith 850nm x2 is great , and Andy at ludicrous lumens was a pleasure to deal with, answering and replying to emails pretty much straight away, and was happy to send out mix and match parts(payed for)  to send back for refund after deciding which works best😃, not that I did that as I was sure the 850nm x2 would be good for the drone, and it sure is😃

 

 

Can only say what I have tried so far im afraid but I have a feeling the 850nm Wraith from LL will be too much for the Digex and cause whiteout.

blueroll speaks much sense. 

I've not tried any other illuminator on mine, but have shot 9 foxes in less than three weeks with it and the supplied illuminator. 

The LL wraith 940nm x2 lens is looking to be the best at the moment, but still waiting for 2 DE`s to arrive from Clive Ward.

Blueroll i found a post about Pard008 with 50 dark engine , Is there any videos of this combo i have a 50 blacksun i quite like is the dark engine any better ?

The Pard008 is very good, I have the LRF version which I use with the DE (the DE is much better than your 50 Blacksun) but only use it as a spotter/range unit for confirmation of a doubtful thermal target before shooting with the Thermion and pre-ranging hedges/trees when waiting for Fox. I don`t intend to use it as a weapon sight because I need it for what I have already mentioned, also the mount system and its alleged POI shift, although I am aware of someone on the NV forum who is in the process of bringing a reliable mount onto the market.

Hi i am looking to change from normal scope to a dedicated nv scope on my 17 Hornet , Upto now i have looked at Sightmark wraith and ATNxsight 4k , Any suggestions on these two nv or any other nv to look at .?

Many thanks Furyan

Bit more expensive than the two units you have mentioned but I am currently testing a Pulsar Digex with various IR illuminators and its looking very promising.

No I haven't looked through a Pard 008lrf / dark engine 

 

I suggest you try a Pard 008/LRF and even better if its got a Dark Engine mounted on the side rail.

2nd dibs - in need of a dozen or so to make up for lost ones so I have more convenient batch sizes. 

All sold sorry.

In my opinion the order of  Digital dedicated nightvision is this 

The Ward  Digital with rangefinder 

The mark two Drone with ten times mag ( Best day light scope performance) 

The mark one Drone with the doubler 

The mark three Drone with fifteen times mag ( just narrowed the field of view too much ) 

The Pulser 870 

The Ward sun ranger  illuminator greatly improves all the above  

 Or you can make a massive jump in money and buy a really good quality thermal scope. 

 

I guess you have not looked through a Pard 008LRF/ Dark Engine combo then ?????
