Hi All,

 

I've done some testing of laser illuminators over the past week. Results here:

Very interesting Clive, surprised by the results on the variable Dipol.

 

Have you ever tested any of the Laserluchs range??

Clive what would you say is the best available IR laser for a US gen 3 scope ?

Hi Steve,

 

I wasn't expecting a huge output from the Dipol as it uses several lenses, but I did expect a little more than the 40mW they were putting out, quite poor for an IR that is advertised as 90mW!

 

I haven't tested any of the Laserluch IRs yet or a Starlight Firefly. If anyone has one of these I would gladly put it on the power meter and test it for our collective knowledge.

 

 

Cheers

Hi Mick,

 

We'll have a Gen3 specific IR available shortly. Give me a shout in about 6 weeks time and I'll send you one to try out.

 

Until then anything with adjustable power will be more than enough.

 

 

Cheers
