Yes!

The light makes all the difference in the world!

Two things about a good light... really there's three.

1) Ability to focus the beam of light to the center of your viewing screen.


There's cheap ripoff Chinese lights out there that have mounts that do not allow the light to be pointed anywhere but the set ridged position of the mount. It is very important to be able to point the light to the point of aim of the scope, then tighten the mount. If you can't do that, you'll be left in the dark with your viewer.

2) Ability to go from spot to flood with the IR light beam.

Spot for brighter focused light at long distances, flood for a more even, wider field of view when up close.

3) Ability to dim and brighten the IR light.

This is important when hunting in brush, trees, through fences, etc. High humidity as well.


A decent light should have all the above!
