Sorry to bore you all again with nv questions but does anyone know of a high street shop that would sell an infa red torch?

[milegajo 595]

Nope, I'm sure if there was you would have to pay accordingly...I.e big bucks!

Your best bet is to find a good old camera shop and get some ir plastic in there, i got some yeares ago two pieces 6x4 iirc and over lapped them slightly and taped to my LF lamp was a bit ghetto but it worked well!

Or ebay ir sheet.

So what you are saying this ir sheet can be cut and used on a normal lamp, say tactical 400 lumens??

[ghillies 209]

my earlier tests (about 10 year odd ago) showed LED's were pap with IR filters on. but.. that was then and CREE's are now lol. (i'll try it out when i find the filters).

 

there has to be a part of the light spectrum with IR wave legnth in it, most of the earlier stuff was a pure 600k light or what ever, i.e. only one wave legnth, and non of the 850 Nm part. (the filter blocks all other, not converts it into).

[ghillies 209]

just tried two cree ones with an IR filter and a board cam, .01 lux..

 

100 lums is better at 3 feet, 300 lums gave a dwindly lamp shade a visable apearence an 9 feet....

Yea i used it on a ghetto set up with a sony handy cam with night shot, the camera and light force lance 140 enabled me to see at least 50+ yards ideal for bunnies

why? ripped off and a luvly after sales service that rhymes with f.e.ckoffsky? reallly bad firm, bar the odd sale or being so desperate you dont care. their moto should be ''why pay less for more..when you could pay more for less''

 

the local branch has this help desk, it's purpose is to shift what ever theyre 'pushing' this week, cid, joe or mindy will be in on wednesday, they know alla about it.. go in on wednesday and oh you missed them yesterdat, tomorrow or what ever day you wernt in..

next is, employee;s will disapeer if caught helping truthfully... but only 6 peopke on the trot to my knowladge.

 

lastly though, in all fairness, thery are good with orders, and do ring you when it comes in....

 

personaly, based on personal dealing and knowing the difference.... theyre T..W..A..T.s in general with the odd person worth bothering with, alias the disapeered.

 

truth of the matter is, can you get them things from any where else? if the answer is yes then do so. if its no...my condolences.
