This is the toy, up on the top of the landy. It is a simple remote control lamp with the reflector removed and a light sensative camera fitted with an adjustable lamp and 10 ir led's/
This is it turned on, the camera on my phone is seeing the IR as red, my eyes could not really see it. All i could see was a really dull glow.
A hill ride, in total darkness, again our eyes could only see a black hillside, though the full moon did show some features. It works better in total darkness with no moon. To give you an idea what outside looked like, the screen is in front of the windscreen, so the background is what we could actually see outside the windows.
Thermal imaging a sheep, total darkness. The imager is awesome, a quick scan reveals whatever is in the field. we are quickly finding it shows us what is there and when a field or the his is empty. We clearly saw one roe with our eyes earlier, but the IR and the TI revealed there were actually two!
The sheep could not see my son, sneaking up on them! I am sure some will find this useful!

The kit is awesome, we are really enjoying using it. We are seeing loads of wildlife, deer foxes and badgers, in places we have never seen them before.
The landy now has a split charging system and two batteries and alternators to power it all, but it is so worth it!
