UniqueFire 2002D Vcsel 850nm IR Illuminator Flashlight Lights for Night Vision,Fresnel Lens Zoomable Infrared Illuminator IR Spotlight,Rapid Dimmer Switch, Max Lighting 1000M

I do a lot of night time videography and was looking for a good IR Illuminator that could reach out to 200 yards or better. This little guy fits my needs perfectly. I have this illuminator mounted in a mic mount on my Canon XA11 and it works great in this configuration. Having the ability to zoom the beam in and out is a huge plus for me. The brightness is amazing and several orders of magnitude better than the IR light on my camera. Battery life is excellent also. After a full charge, I left the light on while filming over night (about 8 hours) and there was still plenty of charge. In fact, This one charge has lasted about 15 hours and still has some juice. The only negative thing I have to report about this product is the totally useless 5.5" x 4" piece of paper supplied with the light that is titled users manual. While it does have a graphic showing the correct orientation of the battery, it says nothing about how to charge. After fiddling with it for a few minutes I found the charging port for the battery. It's actually on the side of the positive terminal of the battery itself. So, pull the battery out of the light, plug the charging cable into its slot and then into a USB charger. On either side of the positive nipple on the battery there are two tiny little LEDs that flash green indicating charging. These LEDs turn solid green indicating charging is complete. Initial charge time was a little over 2 hours.

I gave this T20 a try, the first one I ordered had a defective cap switch. It only flickered and was very weak. I contacted the seller, and to my surprise, they knew about the potential issue and quickly sent me one that was tested and working. It arrived a few days and bam, this one worked great. Good IR light throw, 3 levels of switching modes. Now I can mount this on my AR15 when using the NV Scope. The T20 can throw out a little further than the scopes built in IR. Pretty good product for the price and great customer service. Thanks.

The Vcsel does work but is not noticeably brighter than a standard 850 nm IR torch

*Update* after fixing the faulty product on my own, it worked well. Now (after little use) it only weakly flickers. Do not buy, the manufacturer will not stand by the product and the support worker told me that she would be fired if I left a bad review. Product was defective upon arrival.(very week light even with good battery, and flickery) when contacting the seller, their initial response was for me to troubleshoot the issue on my own and they would send me parts. I just want a working product that I paid for without having to take it apart and spend my time on it. It has potential and I will upgrade to 5 stars if the light is replaced with a working one.

Works great with the adjustable focus and most important to me the three modes of illumination. Too much light is almost worse than not enough in the forest or my hog shooting lanes. Easy half touch to the switch gets brightness just right.

This is a very bright IR without a doubt. It is great when you tighten the beam, i can see 400-500 yards with my wraith 4k no problem. however, the back end of the flashlight is already loose from the front of the light causing the rear end to "sag" and since the bulb is attached to the back half of the housing, the beam is no longer focused on where my scope is looking. After 2 weeks, this light is bright and has good battery life, but is very poorly made. Other higher quality options should be considered before buying this illuminator.

Ok price... no batteries included. If you need I.R. for stealth purpose this will do. Maglight with red lenses work better... however the beam is visible where IR is nearly invisible. Also the focused beam is square with shadowed parts... have to use more towards flood side. Visibility clear out to 150yds, kinda dim at 200yds... may also be limit of my nightvision.

Excelente calidad de materiales.

This IR light comes in a small black case and includes a USB-C plug to recharge the battery. When used with my IR camera it lights up very bright and works well. The build quality seems great as well. For those wondering on where to plug it in, you remove the actual battery and plug the USB C cord into the battery itself. Never seen that before but it works. I’d recommend this if you’re in the market for an IR light.

Really works well to extend visible range of my night vision monocular .

Nice item good construction. Comes with no batteries or mount which is a pain. Also at this price point should come with a pressure switch.

great light
