30-6 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 I've looked at a couple of websites for a 940 ir torch for nv use. Can anyone recommend me some sites to look at ? The ones I have found have been quite expensive. For what I need it for just need a simple straightforward unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Hello , led or laser ? what NV are you using ? I now use a nightfox torch , well made with dimmer and green light to show working and 5 W pil, mine is 850 but I'm looking at a 940 for short range, and more covert beam Edited December 1, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30-6 Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Well after I cancelled my order for an Alpex due to non existent delivery from the rubbish courier DPD, ( the seller was great and not to blame ), I have reordered it with a company who does Royal Mail, ( haven't got a lot of faith in them either but here's hoping ). So with the Alpex reviews of great in low light thought I'd try a 940. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hello, did you get a 940, ? How do you find it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted December 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hi again, I am rubbish at making decisions. I've been looking at the b and c models at about £50 ish. Then I seen the 3 in one model which would be covering everything at the turn of a switch but at £100. Probably will just go for a 940 on its own though. I zeroed the Alpex but haven't actually been out in the field yet. Too cold at the moment. I think now it's in my head I'll have to get a 940 out of curiosity. To be honest, the Photon XT has been spot on, but I'm sure the Alpex will be a better picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rim Fire Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Don't forget you wont get the same distance with the 940 as you will with 850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hello, there's an interesting post on the AGF on I/R torches and the red glow the led pils gives out for short range shooting, apparently using old X ray film or similar cuts out the glow but still gives the required range, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
