I just purchased an Infiray Tube TD70L V2 NV Scope, took it out on a walk and was focusing it in at 50m, cant fault the clarity of picture etc, but the IR torch when turned on seems to be blinking/fluctuating which makes it very annoying. I will be getting a new IR torch soon just wondering if anyone has come across this. Video of this linked below.

I think low battery power causes it. Or else a bad connection somewhere.

Try cleaning threads on tail cap. Bad connection possibly.

New decent battery required, and cold temperature can effect it too

Could be that the IR light is to strong for the camera and needs turning down. The cameras is trying to compensate for the brightness.

I had a PBiR, great torch. It will melt a hole in a black garbage bag.
