steve_b_wales Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't own a Pulsar Challenger, but once owned a N1000ap, and have to say that it was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Nm800 seems to out perform lasers with the bonus you can change the led colours and use them as a conventional lamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadioles Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I use the Nightmaster 800 with the IR module and it beats my more expensive laser hands down. Would not use anything else now on my Pulsar Sentinel G2+ or my Pulsar Challenger GS Swapping the led is easy but not something to do routinely.

You have got me worried now. I use the Nightmaster 800 every week with my Pulsar Sentinel G2+ and only used it a couple of times with the Pulsar Challenger GS. With the Challenger it was used at only 25 yards and, given your comments, I am wondering if there is a problem that I have not noticed. I shall re-visit that combination of kit and see what happens at longer range and if there is a wavelength compatibility issue. Certainly with the Sentinel G2+ the NM800 is far better than lazer but I am only shooting rabbits out to my 50 yard zero at night with this combination. With the limited magnification (5.1x) that is as far as I can head shoot a rabbit. The clear visibility and length of the beam far exceeds that and if I was after foxes and happy with body shots my guess is that you would see clearly in excess of 150 yards. One of the biggest advantages of the NM800 is the clarity of the beam, none of the "spotty blotchy" effect that lasers tend to give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 its weird its the first negative I've heard of them, I use mine with an archer and it works very well to 200 yards plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1in9 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 If you want a cheaper option, you can get a 5w Cree IR LED Ultrafire of ebay (search 'Ultrafire 5w') for the princely sum of £27.50 on ebay, just fine out to 100yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be 850nm same as the NM800IR unless stated as 950nm - then the IR won't carry far ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
