IR Illuminators Compared (2019) 

A lot of work went into this video, I appreciate it.

This is exactly the type of video I’ve been wanting to see!

Great vid! Thanks for taking the time to do this comparison. The Ci7 seems like it would be infinitely more useful if it could be focused.

This is by far the best comparison I’ve seen yet

The best comparison video on the Tube. Thanks for sharing, brother

Nice work JW!! We appreciate all your time and effort putting this together buddy. 👍👍

Great information. Thank you for taking the time to compare these devices.

This might be one of the best videos I've found on this topic!

That was a great video,seeing all the different ir illuminaters with beam projections an adjustments.

This is the same background music your english teacher put on when its time to independently read To Kill A Mockingbird lol

Thank you! I am sure there was a lot of work to make this. Its appreciated sir!

More comparison videos should be done like this.

Ive been wanting to see someone make this video for a long time. I have the d2 and love it. I would have liked to seen the prices of these units in the video and also the holosun options.

This is what I’ve been looking for, thanks!

All of these are nice👍

Nice vid. Thanks. Should have thrown a Luna ELIR-3 in there. It will roll with the LA 5's Illuminator all night long and is actually nicer because you can quickly adjust the power setting from 0.1 mW up to 90 mW. Slave a Luna to any of the Civi PEQ 15's or Dbals and with their 0.7 mW pointers superimposed on the Luna ELIR Illuminator and you are bad to the bone with a fine point that is not all bloomed out. Full power PEQ and Dbal units all have High/High settings and the pointers are all bloomed out unless you run a Neutral Density Filter in front of those pointers. The full power units need a Low/High setting were the pointer is on say 0.7 mW and the Illuminators are running at 45 mW and higher.

Great comparison vid. I can't help but feel old with my antique 10 watt light vs the new 10,000 milliwatt versions available now....

You should check out the IR illuminator that comes with the Sightmark Wraith Night Scope. You are going to be pleasantly surprised.

Wow, I was really wanting a MAWL but now I’m kinda torn between the D2 and a PEQ

Great vid! Thanks for the info!

I have a Xenide Aex25 searchlight with an 960nm IR filter.. wondering what monocular or rifle scope I can buy without an illuminator..how would you use it?

That's lit

Thanks. Question. Video was shot on gun range at night, but are you shining the lights through a window pane? Or is everything being done outside? Please describe setup a bit more if you would. Thank you again for such a great video!

there's a review of the Nitecore ci7 out there that claims its actually shining on a 850nM band and that they're false advertising their product

Did you have to use the alt mode on the MAWL for your photonis tubes?

ZenitCo Perst series compared?

Using picture on the wall?

Is that the Civilan legal D2 or the full power unit?

Which one would you say preforms best?

Me too.

Could you compare these to the ngal?

So incredibly annoying. Why are you moving around so much?
