    What about making binoculars with a built-in/addon light?

    Seems like having a nice ‘throw’ LED/LEP light built into your binoculars might be a good idea? What good is a lot of light on a distant subject if it’s too far away to really see, especially if you are old. 😝 Like what good is a lot of magnification if it too dark to see? 😉 I wonder if you...
