Unique Fire 1508 850nm IR Illuminator Light for Night Vision Scope

Night vision (NV) devices have become increasingly popular for night hunting. To engage in night hunting with NV, one requires a night vision scope paired with an infrared (IR) illuminator to see targets in complete darkness. The UniqueFire Night Hunter series of IR LED torches, including the T20, T38, T50, T67, and T75 models, emit invisible 'black' light in the 850nm or 940nm range, making them well-suited as IR illuminators for those with NV gear such as rifle scopes, binoculars, goggles, or spotting scopes.

The large head and good distance between the IR LED and aspheric lens of the UniqueFire IR LED torches allow them to function as powerful IR illuminators, significantly enhancing the range and clarity of existing night vision equipment. The UF series IR hunting lights make excellent companions to digital night vision devices, with a beam focus that enables clear identification of objects at distances exceeding 100 yards.

This IR flashlight is well-designed and constructed, offering exceptional value for those seeking to add an IR light to their night vision setup. Key features include an upgraded 850nm IR LED, a 38mm aspheric convex lens, 'O'-ring sealed waterproofing, a glow-in-the-dark switch, and a 3-mode system with a memory function.

The adjustable focus, achieved by screwing the head rather than push/pull, makes the UF-1508 more resistant to recoil when mounted on a firearm. Additionally, the quick-change LED pill system allows for easy color changes between red, green, white, and infrared without the need for specialized tools.

Users should be aware that not all infrared cameras and night vision scopes are compatible with 940nm IR light, as it is further from the visible spectrum and harder for camera sensors to detect. Therefore, it is essential to ensure compatibility with the camera equipment being used.

The UF-1508 IR LED flashlight is suitable for use in a wide range of night vision applications, including Yukon, Photon, Pulsar, Armasight, and NiteSite products, as well as DIY night vision rifle scopes, binoculars, and spotting scopes. It is also designed to function well in cold weather conditions, with a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.

With its powerful illumination range of up to 200 yards in spot mode and 100 yards in floodlight mode, the UF-1508 is an excellent choice for enhancing the capabilities of Gen 1 night vision goggles when hunting coyotes, foxes, hogs, wild pigs, varmints, and predators. Users are advised to use high-quality batteries and avoid disassembling the sealed head, as this can potentially damage the flashlight.

In summary, the UniqueFire UF-1508 IR LED flashlight is a versatile and well-designed IR illuminator that can significantly improve the performance of a wide range of night vision equipment, making it an invaluable tool for night hunting enthusiasts.
