Best Night Vision for Lighting

use a surefire light with ir filter or ir led flashlight for better results.

unlike gen1 devices, the digital ranger is not subject to optical damage when exposed to bright light.

pros: works great in low light, is very easy to operate, bang for your buck.

you get a green low-light view of the world thru a monocular not the glow-in-the-dark ir effect you may have seen on tv in police chases.

field of vision is a little fuzzy around the edges, but the infrared feature works great in complete darkness and if there's a little bit of ambient light, you don't even need the infrared.

for what it's worth, the explorer is sufficient, but the infared light to see in darkness is quite annoying.

i wanted something good enough to enable clear, comfortable viewing - even in the darkest light-conditions with a powerful lens at a low, low price.

no problem if it worked, but it did nothing but light up indicating it was supposedly turned on.

able to see objects with ambient light at night (stars or moonlight).

i can see so well in almost 0 lum, i barely ever need the ir light.

also the weight is fantastic-- very light.

to save power, turn it off, and it will still provide an image with the available light for almost 5 minutes.

glass optics good light gathering abilities.large objective lense with nice metal screw on lense protector.

the built-in infrared light source allows one to see in pitch black.

it works good with or without the ir illuminator activated (the ir illuminator gives better/brighter picture out past 150 feet, and makes reflective surfaces such as license plates and nocternal

the lighting is amazing and if you turn on the built-in ir, there's nothing you can't see.

passive is quite good, but ir source light shows a dramatic difference in visibility and clarity.
