Nightmaster
Night Master started life in 2010, and like many other products and brands, it all started with an idea. The initial idea was to have a different type of hunting light, one that would be:
This is when the Night Master 800 v1 was born, which revolutionised lamping for many night hunters. With the NM800, there was no need for big lamps, separate battery packs and coloured filters. The NM800, with its internal battery and changeable LEDs, would fit neatly into a jacket pocket. But despite its small, lightweight construction, it could pick out eyes up to 800m and allow identification up to 500m. It was the original... small torch, epic beam!
The NM800 v1 quickly became a hit with shooters and within weeks we were inundated with phone calls from gun shop owners who wanted to stock Night Master. At first, we refused to distribute the product because our intention was to sell direct to end users. However, we started to receive calls on a daily basis and so decided to do business with gun shops.
Since the v1 model, we made some design changes based on customer feedback and our experiences with using the torch, and then created the v2 model. With the new v2 model, the torch was easier to focus; it was quicker and easier to change LEDs; and different size heads/ lenses could be used.
More recently we have been working on the v3, which is the latest model that incorporates a rotary dimmer switch and dimmable LED, allowing the user to quickly adjust the brightness of the torch, eradicating any issues with white-out (it’s especially effective with the IR LED and a night vision device). As well as the new NM800 IC (Intensity Control), we also created the NM400, Venom Strike and XSearcher – all also available as infrared models for use with night vision.
