Hunting Lights & IR Illuminators
Night Master NM1 CL
The Night Master NM1 CL is the most compact model out of our hunting light range, at just 152mm in length and 182g in weight the CL is best suited for a user trying to keep their set-up as lightweight as possible. Thanks to a combination of the latest LED technology and ultra-clear 35mm convex lens the NM1 CL has a beam distance of 600m for detecting eye-shine, perfect for short-range pest control with airgun or rimfire.
Night Master NM1 SL
The Night Master NM1 SL is the most popular scope mounted model out of our hunting light range, while staying fairly lightweight and compact at just 173mm in length and 262g in weight the SL can be best utilised mounted directly onto your night vision device or riflescope for long range illumination. Thanks to a combination of the latest LED technology and ultra-clear 50mm convex lens the NM1 SL has a beam distance of 900m for detecting eye-shine, perfect for everyday pest or fox control with airgun, rimfire or centrefire.
Night Master NM1 XL
The Night Master NM1 XL is the most powerful model out of our hunting light range, mostly used as a handheld long-range spotting lamp. The NM1 XL is the largest out of the NM1 range at 175mm in length and 342g in weight. Many users will pair this with the Hunting Light Grip Handle to keep the traditional feel of lamping. Thanks fo a combination of the latest LED technology and ultra-clear 65mm convex lens the NM1 XL has a beam distance of 1200m for detecting eye-shine, perfect for long-range fox control with rimfire or centrefire.
Night Master NM1 models have been designed specifically with night hunting in mind, with controls that are close-at-hand. Beam focus, brightness control and all other functions are operated from the tail-switch. This means when the hunting lamp is scope mounted there is no need to reach any further forward to adjust the brightness or focus.
The NM1 models have a large range of focus, with this you can adjust the beam of the NM1 to throw out a tight, concentrated beam for the longest distance possible or open up the beam to a wide flood from a simple twist of the tail cap. All NM1 models feature interchangeable 'easy-swap' LED modules, this means you can change the colour of the light within seconds without any tools required.
The tail-switch is quiet and brighntess control is smooth with the rotary dimmer, an indicator light can also be set to glow when the beam is active. Finally a lock-out function prevents accidental activation when not in use for an extended period of time and a soft-glow indicator pulsates when the battery power reaches 10%.
Night Master Trident
The Night Master Trident is one of our most powerful and versatile hunting lights yet. The Trident offers a unique feature of TRI-LED technology, this means that by using a dial on the side of the light you can switch between three different coloured LEDs (such as White, Red & IR). The Trident is a great choice for those looking for one light to do it all, you can easily swap from using this as handheld spotting lamp to mounting this onto your night vision device within seconds as an IR illuminator to enhance your image. Thanks to a combination of the latest LED technology and ultra-clear 65mm convex lens the Trident has a beam distance of 1000m for detecting eye-shine, perfect for long-range fox control with rimfire or centrefire.
The Trident has a large range of focus you can adjust the beam of the trident to throw out a tight, concentrated beam for the longest distance possible or open up the beam to a wide flood from a simple twist of the head.
The tail-switch is quiet and brighntess control is smooth with the rotary dimmer, an indicator light can also be set to glow when the beam is active. Finally a lock-out function prevents accidental activation when not in use for an extended period of time and a soft-glow indicator pulsates when the battery power reaches 10%.
Night Master IR Illuminators are completely legal and safe to use, for more information on illegal lasers click here.
How Tight is the Beam?
Generally, the concentration of a beam on its tightest setting increases with the size of a convex lens. Consequently, for achieving the tightest long-range beam, the NM1 XL or Trident models are most suitable offering a very tight beam which stretches out over long distances. On the other hand, if a wider beam is desired, the NM1 CL model would be the optimal choice. The NM1 SL model, positioned between the NM1 CL and NM1 XL & Trident models, provides a moderately tight beam along with a long-range capability.
Which Scope Mount is Best?
We offer a basic scope mount known as the 'High Scope Mount', this mount is designed with a straightforward yet highly efficient figure-eight configuration, enabling the secure attachment of a hunting light with a body tube measuring either 25.4mm or 30mm to your day scope or tube-style night vision device
We also offer a much high quality scope mount known as the 'QMD Quick Multi Directional Rail Mount', the QMD allows you to adjust the beam position of mounted hunting lights or IR illuminators in seconds. The QMD is designed to secured onto a picatinny rail with the side screw and its ambidextrous design means it can be operated with either hand. The QMD comes with two inserts; one to fit 25.4mm (1”) flashlight bodies and one to fit 30mm bodies.
As this is designed to secure onto a picatinny rail this means the QMD is a great choice for mounting an IR illuminator to a night vision device. Don't worry, if you have a new tube style night vision device such as the Pulsar Digex C50 you can still use the QMD, you would just need to buy a Scope Ring with Rail which allows you to attach a 1" length of picatinny rail onto your day scope or tube style night vision device.
