At TNVC, we take pride in the products we offer. To insure our customers receive the best gear for their mission, we take the time to work/train with every piece of kit we sell. In doing this, we like to review the gear we offer. So, without further ado, here is our initial review of the Surefire Vampire Series Dual Spectrum Lights!
If you are interested in purchasing one of these lights, we have them available here:
Questions…
Have you done a side by side comparison of the Vampire vice a regular Surefire IR filter cap, vice the IR illuminator on a PEQ-15?
Pics?
Thanks.
There really is no comparison between the Vamp and an IR filter cover. IR filters are a stop-gap and have never really functioned all that well. They are close range devices only.
As for the PEQ15: no we have not done a comparison yet. My experiences with the PEQ15 IR Illuminator (low power) have given me less throw than the Vamp. Generally, ATPIAL Illuminators (low power) have been good out to about 100 yards. But, the 30mw high power setting blows the vamp out of the water.
