steve_b_wales Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) I've got one of these add on NV's, which has worked well in the past. I tried it earlier, and after attaching it to my scope, switched it on and all I could see was a bright light which obliterated the reticule. It was as if a torch was shining through the other end. This add on NV relies on IR to work, and I cannot understand why I am seeing this light shining, which can also be seen when it's dark with no additional light source. Any idea's, or who I can contact with view of them looking at it for me? Thanks. Edited April 28, 2022 by steve_b_wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where this 'light' is coming from. Looking through the NV/Scope and all can see is a bright circle. Even altering the contrast etc on the NV doesn't remove it. Looking through the NV when it's off the scope, I can see whatever I'm pointing at, albeit a bit blurry. Do you know what type of NV this is? I had it off Daren Morgan, who I think you know?

I don't recognize it TBH. I know of a Darren but with a different last name I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 It may be daft but have you tried it on another scope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I tried it on a few, to no avail. It never used to be like this, I just clamped it to a scope, switched it on and it was okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reindeer Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Does this add on have an integrated IR source or do you use an external illuminator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reindeer Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Did you try to use an external illuminator? Might be that the IR from the illuminator is strong enough to give you a clear image. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be that the IR from the illuminator is strong enough to give you a clear image. I No, just tried it without any IR light. I will try it again though and use my Solaris SRX to see how it goes. This NV is a few year old, I don't use it now as I've got a Vulpine Mk 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
