PBiR or Wicked Light IR?

[DaveFerriman]

Looking for an IR to use with a Pard NV007. Has anyone had experience with either the PBiR or the Wicked Light?

 

[Herb64]

Not used on a Pard but build quality wise I’d go PBIR.

For the PARD NV007 you need a vcsel (laser) based IR
The PBIR-S, PBIR-X and Wicked lights are LED based so won't even be as good as the PARD onboard IR (which is vcsel based)
You need any one of these vcsel based IR torches
Sirius XTL from IRlightbuilds (aka PBIR-L)
Solaris SRX from Blackwood Outdoors
Blacksun dark engine from Night vision store
Night Sabre Wraith from Ludicrous Lumens

Cheers

PBIR do an L
I use one with a Pard and can see 500+ depending on terrain and conditions/beam focus

The PBIR-L and Sirius XTL are identical and made not far from you.

I have a sirius xtl and the blacksun dark engine, the latter is good but my only gripe is the head slop, the sirius is nice and smooth and goes one hell of a way far too far to shoot at night,regards wayne

maybe the same internals but external quality Ian’s are far superior,just my opinion

Thanks -- I'm just starting to look into the dark art of NV etc & & finding it a bit confusing LOL.

I have the Solaris Srx and its amazing on the 007 .The only thing ive to compare it to was the Nm 800 and it knocks it out the park .
It easily doubled the range and then some ,well worth the money imho

I am learning a lot from this forum but need some advice on an upgrade to my NV illuminator. I'm using an ATN 4K with an IR LED and I'm thinking the PBIR-L or the Wraith from Ludicrous Lumens is the way to go. Do or go 850nm or 960nm? Or both?

Hi I also use the solaris srx too with a pard 007 works great

 

[MagicLantern]

I'm confused - total information overload! Someone please break the deadlock in my noggin and tell me if these are laser (not LED) and which one to choose. Or do I go for the PBIR-L?

Solaris is laser a friend has the black sun dark engine laser 940nm which is the one that dosent glow red works well but not as much range as the Solaris srx

 

[Dann37]

The beauty of the srx is it has a red light on the back so you know its turned on makes it a bit safer too lots of them dont have that

He's asking for it for use on an NV007, the wicked lights is LED and garbage for high resolution night vision.
