So I made the dive and bought one instead of going cheaper route since I know I will get it sooner or later. So far, very impressed with the quality just doesn't make sense that it doesn't have a on switch instead of having to press "fire" everytime I want it to light up. I hadn't fully sat down and read the whole manual, just a couple minutes of fondling it. I been busy with work so I hadn't had time to check it out. Please tell me I'm wrong. I have the tape switch wire which will help but what if I want to keep it light up without the tape switch?

Thank you sir! I will have to check it out more tonight. I had to work overtime to fund that thing!

That is a super powerful IR Illuminator and probably the best that I have used, but most of the time I don't need one that super bright...good thing it has a low setting.









It is a nice unit though, you will like it....

I hope so too! Do you use the tape switch remote or just use the 5 minutes feature? I know this is stupid question but do you leave the batteries in when not in use? I read the manual and it states not to leave batteries if unit not being used for a certain period.

I use the tape switch and remove the batteries if I am not going to be using it for two week or so....

skypup- what nm ir pass filter do you think would be best to stop the visable red light emission? 800, 850, 900?

Speaking of that. Is there one for the SPiR? I know the spir have a strap cap on it so I wouldn't think there would be a filter for the light.... Let me know if there is one! I know most likely the animals won't see it unless they are looking directly at it! Most of my hunting is in a tree stand so unless the hog happen to look up, he's not going to see it but i still would love one for my spir.

800nm would be best if you can find one, however anything over 760nm is going to start to decrease the IR emission considerably.

850 or 900nm filters would totally negate any output from the device.
