Comparing IR torches via PARD008LRF, inc' the Ludicrous Lumens Night Saber Wraith: 850nm & 940nm

Filmed at night in midsummer, here I compare four add-on IR torches with the 008LRF’s own IR Lamp, then conclude by comparing the Ludicrous Lumens Night Saber Wraith with both 850nm and 940nm IR pills (bulbs).

My apologies for any shakey freehand filming, since recording this I now have a twin Picatinny rail tripod plate thanks to Bruce, so my upcoming (Jan 2021) torch review videos will use this for increased stability.
• Tracer LEDRay IR torch (850nm): now discontinued.

Hi Russell
Nice video thank you.

The wraith now has the option for a led tail cap indicator for your information 👌

Hey Russ. Great video. What kind off mount for the torch do you use and where do you by it ?

[thenextproblem]

Hey Russ, thanks for the video. Im looking for a torch (or any alternatives) for my scope with a range up to 1500meters. Do you have any recommendations?

Happy new year Russ . Great informative video.

Can't fault ludicrous lumens customer services .some others could learn from Andy.

Excellent 😊 I'm in the market for a new IR Illuminator, a couple of my perms the quarry is a little lamp shy due to being shot with IR NV for years.

I'm looking at getting a 940nm and the black sun dark engine was one I was looking at.
I'm gonna enjoy this one russ 👌 top notch just the job mate 👍

Hi Russ.

You understand VCSEL lasers for Pard very well. Can you tell me: How much less noticeable is the light source on the Solaris SRX to handcuffs than the original lamp on the Pard 007 (first series). I think that the original lamp on Pard is much more noticeable ???

The problem is that I can't buy a good 940nm VCSEL in my country, and I can buy a Solaris SRX. Is it less noticeable than a Pard lamp when set to the same power and visibility as a Pard lamp (for example 2 power levels and the strongest zoom )

Thank you very much in advance for your response.

Cheers. Ivan

Russ thank you very much for doing this review. I still don't understand much ir led flashlight, ir laser, you can help me by recommending a night vision with a flashlight and also the laser. It is to look at the sky at night. Thanks Russ

Nice video, i spray painted my card and battery cover yellow on my pard just in case i drop either making it easier to find.I also like the look of that adjustable torch mount, i quite fancy one for my pard.

Hi Russ, great video, thanks very much. You have text on screen at 10 minutes saying as always I've corrected the Pard footage from 16:9 to 4:3. I am looking at either the Pard NV007 or the Sytong HT-66 and saw a side by side comparison of them on a German video titled "Sytong HT-66 vs Pard NV007a Test & Vergleich 13 Vorteile HT-66 zu NV007 - Neuheit 2021 von 5m - 500m"
The footage there at about the 2min50s mark seems to show round rolls of paper looking distinctly oval on the Pard. I thought it was just an editing error, but when I saw your text on screen it's got me wondering. Is the footage recorded by the Pard just 4:3 stretched out to 16:9 or does it record properly in 1080p with round things looking round?
All the other footage I've seen from Pards looks right in 1080p, but maybe everyone is reformatting it before uploading? Just asking before I part with my hard earnd cash!

Thanks again, your videos have been really helpful as I start my journey into night vision.

If that's a cat you need to start shooting cats, that's definitely a fox 😉 🤣

[Alex-gism]

Thanks for the good video.

Regarding the larger 3x lens for the wraith, it is the same as on the Sirius XTL. Does anyone know, who makes these lenses? They are obviiusly not made for torches but for some night vision device. Thanks.

What people have to remember russ t he presision nv laser you can get from aliexpress for £17 quid for size and price it's the best for up to 300 yards and who wants to shoot more than 300 at nite nice vid though

[jonaswahlman]

Please arrange better microphone set up and a more clear articulation. :)

[brianseeney]

When you make a crappy video and watch it back for yourself to that is crappy why don't you do it over again to make a nice video?
