Thread: IR illuminators

Hmm, those models are using a laser which is meant to be way better than an LED. Convoy have only announced an LED version, so unsure whether it'll be good or not. If there's a big enough market I could look into laser modules, but this is all very unfamiliar territory for me. I've only ever looked through my Dad's thermal once, and that's as close as I've come to anything NV.

Fraser at Owl Optics will be able to guide me to what's decent, he comes out to the farm occasionally if there's pigs around. Using an LED in the L21B would be better than the Nitecore models though, but for cheap.

Planning on giving forum members a discount on new stock. All hunting torches are being modified at the factory now, so I can afford to drop pricing for you all. Not sure how I'll stop the coupon from spreading outside of the forum though, maybe require the NZHS username at checkout. This will be a trial for X months to see if my sales increase. I'll have to look at Facebook and Google ads as well, that seems to be what everyone with their own website is recommending.

This Covide situation is killing sales big time, might have to look at continuing as a hobby and get a job if these lockdowns continue.
