[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is there a tape switch to operate two independent ir devices?

Posted: 11/4/2018 12:45:25 PM EDT

I am a (new) believer in simultaneous operation of IR laser and ir illuminator. I know they offer integrated units that utilize this concept, but what if I like the laser unit from one company and an ir illuminator from another company?

For example, what if I liked the dbal without an illuminator, but wanted to use a tnvc torch with it. Is it possible that a switch could turn both on at the same time? The only feature I would need is momentary on at the high setting.

TNVC/Unity TAPS Pro would do this I believe

Great! Will the taps work with a holosun laser? Like this one https://www.opticsplanet.com/holosun-compact-laser-sight.html?_iv_code=28Y-LS-HLSCMLST-LS117IR

According to this FAQ the holosun's socket is proprietary https://www.opticsplanet.com/questions/questions-holosun-dual-laser-sight-with-ir/1a49ef80-6fb9-11e8-867a-005056875b91.html

You could splice it though.
