gaz-loc Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hello all Just wondering if anybody has tried an infrared filter with the lamp to aid quarry id at longer distances using the NS200? Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi Gaz, I've not use the light force with infra red but did purchase an x searcher (next one up from the night master and throws a tighter, cleaner light) to try and boost the nitesite range. To be honest the results were a little disappointing. I could only manage to extend the shootable range of 150 yards at x10 to 200 yards or so. It seems the nitesite just isn't sensitive enough to IR light for any additional illumination to make much difference. They will shortly be releasing the ns400 to address this and you will be able to upgrade your old unit. I built my own in the end, it works out beyond 500 yards even when the rifle scope is at x14.

gaz-loc Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thanks for the response. I have got a piece of ir filter sheet I will cut to shape for the lightforce and post the result. Not expecting magical results, just enough extra to get an id at 200. As for the ns400 upgrade, that sounds very appealing. Anyone know when this is out?
