Newly Enlightened
A friend purchased a consumer grade Night Vision Monocular that had a very weak IR Illuminator. I purchased a Convoy C8+ IR 850 NM flashlight so we could experiment outdoors. We were very careful to not get direct exposure to our eyes and we were careful about near reflections. What other measures do we need to do with a light of this intensity? Simon is working on an IR driver that will allow for lower levels of output. At 100 percent power we were able to view objects that were over 300 yards away and shadowed from the moonlight.
I reached out to some friends with formal training in NVG from military and LE. Their training is that anything that they were issued was eye safe. They did not know about any dangers from a LED emitting IR at high power.
Any and all information, links, is appreciated.
