[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1951111, member: 109327"] We are talking about different things. Your talking about an IR illuminator and whether there is a detectable light at the bulb and if it can be seen without night vision/the naked eye and I agree with what you are saying with different wavelength illuminators some give off a glow if they are in the near IR range and ones above this do not, I have a few different personal IR illuminators with different wavelength bulbs. However, I'm talking about night visions ability to see the laser from a rangefinder to ensure you are lasing what you think, thermal doesn't have this ability. Most common laser rangefinders have a laser in the 850-1050 nm range and some higher end/military rangefinders have up to 1550 nm wavelength lasers, all are visible with night vision, not a beam but the splash where it is hitting. I shoot a lot at extended ranges at night and having an accurate range to your target is necessary. I've seen many weapon mounted range finders knocked off their co-witness point and no longer ranging the spot you think. Being able to see the IR laser splash on your intended target before dialing or holding your elevation gives me one less thing to worry about before pulling the trigger [/QUOTE]
