On a 4-wheeler or atv, I’ve found that supplemental IR is not necessary...
YMMV |

On UTVs etc. I use a vampire head in an M-Ax mount on my helmet. In the truck I just run the amber parking lights.

Just WiFi to a SiOnyx Aurora mounted on a beefy magnetic camera mount with an iPad in a dash mount. duct tape a few 940nm led flashlights to it.

It seems bad enough swinging a rifle. I can’t imagine it’d be better traveling at 10-20mph but at least there’s no pan tilt to compound the effects. I imagine I could duplicate the effectiveness of that rig with a cheap wireless security camera & 850nm light for $500 less. |

It’s a rare night when I don’t have a want for supplemental IR from a vehicle no matter if I’m moving at a travel or scanning pace. If there are 2-3 people in a rig scanning with i2, helmet mounted illum is about the best way to have a rough night imo. I personally want a light bar or pods running for illumination in a rig because it never fails that someone running helmet mounted illum is going to blind the other guys looking at them or simply by reflecting it off the roll cage etc. |

That's a very valid point. I'm almost always solo, and when I do have a guest they are using my loaner gear that lacks a powerful helmet mounted illum. Great to get another perspective.

Probably wouldn’t want to do more than about 35 or go off roading. |

There are plenty of situations where I am located where supplemental IR lighting is needed. I run a single spot beam from Black oak led on my quad. I would NOT recommend them. The light works but everything is really poor quality. I have a set of Lightforce Spot beam pods on my truck and they are really good quality for the price and the lighting is great. There are a lot of times when there is little moon light where you wont see the road very well. Especially in the woods. YMMV

I usually do not need it, but I did get one of those Goblin Tactical light bars for my utv if it is reallly dark.

Same, I mounted it higher on the front of my quad to throw over tall field grass. That thing throws like 300 yds with no moon. I drunk purchased a plug and play bar with magnet feet and cig adapter for my truck. I just stick it to the hood and bomb along the back road. Good purchase. |

Turning them all the way off jacks up the brightness of everything else in the truck to the point I can’t see out the windshield and I’m too lazy to fuck with the electrical shit in the truck to change that.
