Cleaning a laser lens.

Hi Guys I know this may sound a bit stupid but can you advise me as to what is the best way to clean a laser lens for my night vision.

Any help would be good.

I have found that a cotton bud with a dab of car glass cleaner works well on my Archer Laser, especialy after drops of had been on it.

Do you use your night vision if there is rain in the air ?

Thanks guys but i don’t think i have put this over very well, what i need to know is not just what you use but the procedures you do it in such as do you turn the laser off before you clean if you are in the field if say you have rain drops on the lens.

I just use a lens cloth or tissue no cleaning solutions and yes i turn the IR off before cleaning/wiping esp when out in rain.

Hi I use at work PELTOR individually wrapped moist wipes. These are somewhere between a piece of paper and cloth and are relatively dry to the touch. They are suitable for all sorts of lenses and coatings so can be safely used on lasers or other optical devices. You can buy a box of 500 I think it is, for very reasonable money. Ideal for de-bugging motorcycle visors as well.

Yes turn the device off before commencing cleaning.

Cigarette papers are ideal, pick up all moisture, don't smear and are conveniently boxed.

that man knows his stuff!and if its quit you can roll a fat one and chill!

dont use your laser if its raining water on the lens will ruin the unit if switched on i keep mine covered with a plastic bag secured with a laggy band if it looks like rain.when you need to use it it only takes a few seconds to whip it off.
