A few nights ago I was messing around with my PVS14 and found that throwing a bit of IR out there made it so I could see very far and clearly when there wasn't much natural light. I had this Go Light sitting around and wondered if I could rewire it for an IR light and be able to pan and tilt using the remote so I could use it for navigation while in the field.

Here is what I came up with, and it works amazing, I can easily see 200-300yds and I've got right at 100$ in it.

For the most part, I combined these two items and all I had to do was some soldering and drilling and tapping some small bolts to hold the IR head to the Go light.
