Review: HOW TO MAKE A MOUNT FOR YOUR NVG-7 GOGGLES! - This is a great product and works flawlessly. Sturdy build and powerful unit. But, I could not fiind a mount to put this on my NVG-f Goggles from ATN. I fabricated one in about 2 hours. Since the Goggles have a "Shoe-type" receptacle on top of them to connect to a Rhino mount, that is the first hurdle. I took and cut a 4"(approx) by 11-12mm wide piece of 0.093"(thickness) 'optix' brand plexiglass. Any non-flexible plastic will work. The thickness is important since it must slide inside the 'shoe' on the Goggles. Then take a sanding block with 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide sand paper and bevel the top edge of your strip of plastic so it will slide in the shoes' groove. You may have to sand the width a bit too so the strip will slide in TIGHTLT/FIRMLY! Once completed, you are on your way. The strip is your platform for attachment of a piece of POLYMER Picatinny Rail. YES POLYMER. Take a piece of rail which is smaller than your Plexi platform. NOW you need to use your sanding block to sand down the edges on both sides of the rail so the entire assembly will 'clear' the top portion of the 'shoe' when you slide it in. (The bottom of the rail.) DO NOT SAND THE CENTER PORTION OF THE BOTTOM OF THE RAIL...IT IS GOING TO BE ATTACHED TO THE PLATFORM YOU MADE. After you have sanded down the bottom -side portion of the rail and have checked that it will not hit the top of the 'shoe' you are ready to Epoxy the rail to your platform. Center your rail on the platform and glue with GOOD EPOXY(Not crazy glue)...perfectly centered. You may have to sand a little more off the bottom of the rail if it does not clear the top of the shoe. Purchase a set of 1" scope rings that fit onto Picatinny Rail and you are all set to secure this light into the ring and then attach this assembly to your home-made mount. Works super duper!.
Review: Works great - Bought this to use with my Sightmark WRAITH digital night vision scope. Wanted a unit powered by 18650 lithium batteries that also provides more intensity adjustment than the factory illuminator's 3 power levels provides. I got a chance to use it in the field this past weekend and am well pleased with the purchase. It appears to be as bright as the original illuminator easily lighting trees at 240 yds. I especially like that it runs either a single 18650 or a pair of CR123A batteries allowing me to hit the field with a charged 18650 while having convenient single use backup if needed. The smooth change of intensity from full bright to barely on is a great benefit, low level to spot eyes and silhouettes then once lined up raise the intensity for final verification of target before shooting. And the price is right. Only owned for a week, but so far so good. I do recommend this product.

## Features

- The Nightfox XB5 is a powerful IR flashlight designed to massively increase how far you can see with your night vision device. The XB5 emits 850nm infrared light which cannot be seen by the human eye, so must always be used with a night vision device. 1x 18650 battery required (not included)..
- Most infrared LED diodes glow red when turned on - this 940nm wavelength diode has nearly no red light, making the user very difficult to detect. Ideal for covert operation.
- The 5W 940nm LED in this edition of the XB5 is a groundbreaking LED module with more power than any other 940nm module on the market. You'll be less visible AND see further.
- The XB5 infrared flash light is durable and long-lasting despite weighing just 6.9oz, O-ring sealed to be splashproof, and features Nightfox’s Rapid Focus and Dimmer Switch technology to fine-tune the beam.
- You can use the XB5 940nm IR illuminator with any night vision scopes or binoculars. For the ultimate night vision experience we recommend the Nightfox Swift 2, Prowl, or Vulpes. Attach it to these devices with ease using the Nightfox Accessory Mount.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap strong light
*by T***Y on November 10, 2020*

If you're just trying to light things up while playing with night vision, does great. Only gripe at all would be that when you focus the beam all the way it turns into a square made of lines I'm assuming because you're seeing individual LED strips or something. Not a deal killer, but I can see why some people would be frustrated by something like that.
