If you have already tried one out , then your sorted .
Im over the moon with mine .
Which IR torch for the Alpex 4k?
- Thread starter Yorkshire Viking

Im over the moon with mine .
So Clive, if I understand correctly, blade will fill the field of view even when Alpex 4K is at base magnification?
My Solaris srx GEN1, fills maybe half of Alpex field of view.
That is why I really prefered HIKMICRO IR TORCH, when I was testing Alpex 4K.

Hi Dari,
Yes the BLADE will fill the field of view on base mag on a 3.5x scope.

Just off the back of this please Clive, I’m looking at the Blade myself and wondering if the 940 or 850 gives the better image quality on the Alpex?

It's what I use on my Alpex and it really is brilliant (and very small)

It really isn’t, theres a new kid on the block that transforms the Alpex.
Do share, then.

I didn't say it was the best....
But I stand by that the image produced by blade is brilliant & it is very lightweight.

The Wraith ESL.
I’d been using the Blade on my C50 to good effect, when it came out it was a revelation as it was so much smaller and lighter than the Yukon lensed big heavy torches that wherever you mounted them made the set up want to fall over off the sticks or bipod due to their weight, the Blade solved this.
When i bought my first 4K Alpex i thought i wouldn’t have to worry about a torch but its more sensitive and picks up far more artefacts and “dirt” than the C50 did.
I ended up taking it off and used an LED for a while because the Blade was so dirty. Ive tried a few of the bigger torches and none of them
are perfect and i’m buggered if im
using one that big any more.
Then i got a heads up from someone in the same situation and he put me onto the ESL, like me he’d gone through quite a few, its so much cleaner, 2 means of adjusting the pill/beam so you set exactly how much screen you want to fill and then still have the ability to from flood to spot.
Id say it has LED clarity with laser performance.

Is it worth changing my Sirrius Reach for the Wraith in your opinion ?
We've not heard directly from any customers about this issue, but it may possibly be caused by component variance. This is what it should look like with the 4K:
Happy to check your blade over to make sure it's working as it should.

Thanks @Pellet Pinger .
The Ludicrous Lumens ESL is what I'm already using.

Is the flood to spot smooth as my Sirrius Reach is quite stiff ?

Personally speaking yes, if for nothing else than the fact its lighter and more compact, only you can say though, some people don’t tend to chop about once something works especially if they only go out now and again.
Some folk like to get the absolute max out of their kit, i get FOMO with kit so like to try stuff to rule out thinking i need this or that lol.
My advice would be to do what i did and send Andy at LL a message asking him if its ok to return if your not happy, that way you can have it side by side out in the field with the Sirius for a direct comparison, thats what i did with the Blade/ESL.
Yes, like butter
it's good . a bit big and heavy especially if you do a bit of walking, still prefer the blade ,
I've just started using a Ludicrous Lumens Wraith (thanks, PP) and have found it to be the best IR I've used to date. It's very light and produces a very clean picture. last night the conditions were not ideal but with the ESL and the Alpex I could clearly see rabbits at over 300 yards.
