Hi Jock, What IR are you using with it? Lots of IRs have spill from the main beam which then ends up reflecting off the moderator or barrell. This is then picked up by the sensor which adjusts it's exposure to compensate and the resulting rubbish image is what you have experienced. To...

I would imagine that the Alpex (like every other day night scope) has an IR blocking filter that sits in front of the sensor to correct the colours during daylight. When switching to night mode, this filter should move out of the way. It sounds like this is stuck on your scope so IR is being...

Hi Griff, The Dark Engine BLADE will work very well with that. https://www.nightvisionstore.co.uk/black-sun-dark-engine-blade-ir-illuminator-c2x40038869 It's the smallest, lightest full power IR on the market. And by full power, it is at 95% of the maximum power legally allowed to be sold to...

Just buy the BLADE. The BLADE is a VCSEL Laser and outputs 95% of the absolute maximum power allowed to legally be sold to consumers. Power isn't an issue. You will get a good image to 500 yards and a good enough image to 1,000 to check your backdrop if needed. The lens is designed to match...

Sorry Gunner223, we were away at IWA in Germany last week. All the back orders are now complete and will be into the post today for delivery tomorrow. Cheers Clive

The COVERT 940nm are most popular in Europe where wild boar are sensitive to 850nm, to the point of aversion. The standard 850nm is the one to go for in the UK. There is no spill from the beam, so only something directly on axis will be able to detect it (if it's biologically capable). The...

Hi Gunner223, In standard form (850nm) it's a decent image to 500 yards and a good enough image to 1,000 to check your backdrop. The COVERT 940nm is exacltly the same output power, but the NV device will see it as around half the power as it's less sensitive the further you go into the IR...

Hi Drew, We don't do any of the UK mixed audience shows. Sorry. Easiest way to get one is to just order via the website. They are in stock at the moment. Cheers Clive

Hi All, Once again all the back orders are clear and the BLADES are back in stock ready to go. Cheers Clive

Hi Lee, The Dark Engine BLADE is optimum. It will give you a good image out to 500 yards and a good enough image to 1000 to check your backdrop. https://www.nightvisionstore.co.uk/black-sun-dark-engine-blade-ir-illuminator-c2x40038869 Mount it at 45 degrees towards the rear of the scope on...

Hi Colin, With the Alpex 4K you should get a good image to 500 yards and a good enough image to 1,000 with the BLADE, so something seems off there. First thing to check is that the tail cap threads are clean. They can get dirty over time and cause resistance. Give the body and switch threads a...

The push button Innomount is for on and off one rifle only. All rails have differeht tolerances so you would have one that is clamped correctly and another that's too loose. For swapping between several rifles you need the 'Zero' version of the Innomount which has built in torque limiters on...

Hi All, All the back orders are cleared and the BLADES are back in stock. Cheers Clive

Hi Colin, Not at this very moment. We are clearing a large backlog of orders currently, but this should be completed by this coming Tuesday where we will then have stock again for immediate despatch. Cheers Clive

The Dark Engine BLADE works very well with an add on. If used with an add on, let us know before you order and we can make the adjustment to the beam focus range for you, or download the manual and do it yourself. It will light up a tree line at over 1,000 yards and do long range at very high...
