12 Best Ir Light For Sightmark Wraith (2022 Updated)

I had originally bought this for a Sightron Night Scope but quickly realized it had way too much power. It actually washed the view out to the point I could not see. I have a set of Gen 3 PVS 7’s so I thought I would try it out with them.

I have a hunting lease in a very rural area with no real ambient light. One night when there was no visible moon I went out to try this IR light. The IR light on the PVS7’s is for close up use only but will work for 10 yards in a pinch.

I stood 500 yards from the end of my road and turned on the PVS7’s there is a no trespassing sign at the end of this road. When I turned on my that IR light it completely lit up the road, both sides into the woods and the sign at the end.

Now I could not clearly see the sign for the simple fact that the PVS7’s just do not see clearly out that far with out a magnifier. But I could plainly see it was a sign and the fencing with it. I used it to light my way through the woods to my blind.

You cannot and will not beat this for the price. At close distances it is almost too much. I will be back out this weekend with this light and my new 3x magnifier and do this same test again. It should be even better this time around.

I bought this to pair with digital night vision. It works amazing as a long range light, more like a spotlight. I went out in the dark with my night vision and turned the IR light on. I was blown away at the intensity! The purpose of this light is for long range spotting.

Out of the box, its not suited for use as a standard night vision light, as its beam is too focused. To use the light for navigation, I modified it by taping a piece of wax paper to the lens. That kept the light very bright yet diffused enough to not cause the night vision to white out.

The wax paper modification allowed it to function as both a long range and short range light. I rate this 5 stars since its small, and can serve as both a long and short range light, perfect for navigation and spotting.

The light works great and better than the one that came with my ATN scope. My only issue is that it doesn’t come with a remote switch. You have to purchase the remote separately, which I did. I mounted the switch and then found out that it’s a momentary only switch, which means I have to hold the switch while I try to aim my rifle.

I returned the switch.

I bought an ATN Thor and after 2 months of fooling with it to try and get it to work correctly, it doesn’t and eats batterys if I don’t remove them each time. I thought I would try a new X Sight 5X20 since they are new and surely will work right.

I bought the scope, the ABL and the upgraded $300 light and got them all mounted and firmware updated. Sighted the scope and it worked right except it locked up and no buttons would work. Per advise we tried updating firmware again and took it out again the next week.

I paired the ABL, zeroed it and put all ballistic info in the scope and started sighting it in. After getting it almost right the scope showed an ERR message up top and then said target unreachable. I was holding it on a target at 100yds.

It wouldn’t show yardage and continued to pop up TARGET UNREACHABLE on the screen. The reticle disappears when this happens so after pushing the menu button 8-10 times in a row to get the message off, then I have no reticle.

Bottom line – I have a $1700 Thor 4 from a year and a half ago thet’s brand new and a brand new X-Sight 5X20 with ALL the adds that totals $1500 and neither will work. Anyone want to buy this stuff cheap?.

First off, this is a BIG improvement over the stock illuminator that came with my X-Sight 4K Pro. Mount adjustments are good too. Only issues that I’ve had are not deal breakers. The body spins in the mount when I try to adjust the focus.

All 4 screws are tight, so it may be tolerances in the ID-OD fit. Not noticeable unless I’m adjusting focus. The other issue that I’ve had is the lens body will unscrew from the battery body when adjusting focus.

I’ll fix this with a drop of loctite soon. Battery life seems to be okay. I’ve taken it on 3 hunts and it’s done it’s job so far. Recharge the battery when I recharge the scope.

I bought it to use with my night vision scope. It works amazingly as a long range light. I went out in the dark with my night vision scope and turned the IR light on. I was blown away at the intensity! The purpose of this light is for long range spotting.

If you hunt hogs or other animals at night with a night vision scope you NEED this in your kit, trust me, the best money you can spend for night hunts.

I usually don’t review but this light is where it’s at. Ive had and handled a lot of trashy and higher-end flashlights. Fenix, Surefire, Nebo & other competitors with nitecore are specifically my focus here.

Ive had small ones, medium ones, big ones, focusing ones, customizable ones, headlamps and so on. Ive had several nitecores and my previous favorite was the p12. This one is a significant upgrade from that with some features.

Im very rough on my equipment I use for work and out in the woods. This thing can be put through hell and still works great! The thing I love about this light the most is the fact I can recharge it via cable.

I can use a small battery pack for this and don’t have to pack several batteries for a week or two long trip in the bush. All in all this light is my favorite I’ve ever owned and it gets a full 5 stars from me.

Produces good candela at full power, shines far, still, I wish it was even more concentrated beam of light for even better long distance performance. Buttons are small for operation wearing a glove, I wish they were bigger and higher off the body of the torch.

Hard to operate with one hand as on/off button is at the back end. The LED behind the buttons is very weak, hard to see the blue light when charging. Overall very happy with the purchase. Charging is a weird procedure – the torch has to be turned on BeFORE one connects the charging cable to the power source, otherwise the buttons will quickly blink which means bad battery or damaged flashlight, which is not true.

Do, turn the flashlight ON BEFORE you connect it to power source, it will then turn off and the buttons will blink slowly which means flashlight is charging.

As a maintenance tech. this flashlight fits the bill for everyday use. I appreciate the the compact size and holster that comes with the flashlight. The holster really helps free up pocket space and hooks on to a belt nicely with its adjustable holder.

The beam sheds nice light and I find myself using the medium setting the most. The flashlight does also come with a clip if you choose to keep it in your pocket or bag which is nice. The only downside is that when putting the flashlight in the holster it can turn it on because the power button is on the side vs on the end but not a deal breaker.

I would recommend.

I like that it is made in the USA! Not hard to put together but instructions are lacking. Worst part is getting the bulb in kinda rediculous the way it’s designed but if you have any mechanical knowledge you’ll be fine.

Would be nice if it had a timer also!.

I’ve owned several of these and over 15 years this one is better designed. Starting with the rubber wheels. They roll much smoother. Seems to have a better on and off switch.

The older lights used to come right on. Mine died after almost 10 hard years. These new ones take about 3 minutes to get up too temp. Which I personally find annoying, however… they do work well.

Bought 2 150 watt infrared bulb. 1 for each of my lizards, both blew a week after having them. Had tiny shards of glass in each of their tanks. The second one blew and almost caught fire. Do not recommend.

I had just recently bought and am learning how to take care of a Gecko. We started with just the heat mat under his two warm hides one moist, one dry. The other is on the cool side of the tank. The mat was not bringing the temp up quite enough.

Since I have installed the 75 watt light above top of his warm houses the temps in his hot houses are 90. 5 and in the cool one is running 71. I use an infared thermometer to check the temp and this light is just right.

Jerry the Gecko is also coming out more and seems to not mind the red light at all. I have been leaving it on 24/7 and the temp is staying very consistent in tank and in hides. perfect just what I was needing, will need to stock up.

The bulbs put out great heat, but the quality is not there. I ordered my first bulb and it only lasted for about 2 1/2 months. I thought maybe it was just a bad bulb so I bought another and the second one only lasted a month.

I used to use these bulbs a lot and went back to them, needless to say I’m very disappointed in the product.

All colored lights need to be banned. They are bad for reptiles!!! In the wild would any animal be exposed to colored light?!?! NO Ceramic Heat Emitters are better if the enclosure is dropping below desired temps.

There are many people that complain about the longevity of these bulbs, or any heating bulb, for that matter. What most people don’t know is that they cannot touch the bulb directly or IT WILL BURN OUT QUICKLY.

The oils from our hands disrupt the bulb, causing it to burn out. I was told this by a very helpful employee at Petco and it has saved me a bunch of money. I have been using one 100W Infared bulb for almost 6 months now, and it has not even flickered since I put it in.

I would recommend these bulbs to anyone, but also advise them to use a cloth when screwing it into the light fixture. NEVER touch the bulb with your bare hands, you will waste your money, and it is NOT the manufacturer’s fault.

for the second time i ordered the round/eggshape glass infra red light. The first time i got a flat one in black that was hot after a while without glowing. The second time i got a flat one / heavy thick glass, again not the round one.

I tried to order 600 w outdoor heatlamps ( were around 65 dollars) but the transport is over 100 dollars so i am not impressed and not succesfull with E Bay.

Replacement bulb. Arrived well packed. Harder to remove old bulb than to fit new one.

I am very satisfied with the lamp, it does the job perfectly.

Excellent external light for my Cleveland Paranormal Supply Digital Video Camera. This LED light is perfect because it augments the camera’s internal built in regular LED and Infraredlights. Works great with 2 AA batteries.

It fits perfectly in the hotshoe slot.

Thank you for the prompt delivery! This LED V/Infared Light is very bright as needed and able to adjust from extremely bright to low with ease. I definitely recommend this LED V/Infared Light accessory for applicable devices as well as the great customer service to expect from B&H.

When working in the northern WI. area in the colder months (most of them!) this tool is a vital piece of equipment for anybody doing any paint and body work to get your metal up to temp before doing any filler work, priming or painting and after these products are applied to actually cure them.

I wouldn’t be without a couple these in my garage, at the shop or wherever a little extra heat is needed. Be careful tho, these put out a lot of heat in a small area, so be aware of your distances at all times!.

This light works very well in both white and IR mode- It is one of the very few lights of any size with a dedicated IR mode which I will grant is a small niche total flashlight market. I am darn glad Surefire did it too!!!! Modes are easily change by slightly pulling out and turning the bezel.

Modes are WH- OFF- IR This should be the way all flashlights should be setup to avoid it accidentally being turned on while not in use/packed for travel. Easy to activate on/off by with tail cap button.

Aviator might be my favorite surefire product. Well made, perfect size for hand holding and versatility yet still small enough to be portable anywhere. Colored led is 2 output and great spot shape for narrow beam that won’t bounce of anything around it and distract.

Surefire sets the bar for all other flashlight makers, and the Vampire light is no exception. Top notch light, very versital; Handheld, weapon or helmet mounted. I, personally, have mounted it on my Ops Core helmet to make it a hands free tool in conjunction with my Night Vision.

This product has worked well for us over the years and continues to do so. It enables us the option of having bright lights when and where needed. This is a huge benefit for someone like us living in a rural open range mountainous wildlife area.

We’ve found these bulbs to not only emit good lighting, but they have also have demonstrated long-life reducing frequency of replacement. Good product!.

Some years back I purchased a spot light base and had it installed by an electrician. The base is under an awning, so no rain issues. However, the light supplied in the kit was substandard and blew within six months.

The Philips light is substantially better and is well priced. So happy.

We use it as a warming bulb to keep our hummingbird feeder from freezing in the winter. Our last one lasted for several years with no issues, hope this one does as well.

i was initially hesitant to order the 240 volt if bulb but decided anyway. i had it shipped indirectly to my country where we use 240 volts electrcity. i only wrote my review now because i want to make sure these bulbs are working well.

now AFTER USING THESE BULBS in a 4 bulb set up FOR AROUND A YEAR NOW, I CAN DEFINITELY SAY THESE BULBS ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY I SPENT. THEY GIVE ME GREAT SWEATS AND USING THEM 3 – 4 TIES A WEEK FOR AROUND A YEAR AT AROUND 1 HOUR DURATION PER USE , NOT A SINGLE BULB HAS WORN OUT and they look and heat up without any change.

they work so well i am going to order a few more bulbs for a second sauna. greeat product alberto.

We cannot get the 250 W here in Australia so needed to order it with Sauna Space. The bulbs arrived safely and work well. I found that having 4 in fared bulbs in the tent was far too hot, so reduced to 3 bulbs – much more comfortable and a spare bulb.

Exactly as required, fits my existing fitting
