Arken Zulus 3-12x : The difference betweenLED IR to Laser IR

What happens when you take the Laser IR from the Zulus 520 and put it on the Zulus 3-12

THANKS GOD. Dude, I received my 3-12 a few days ago and was about to mail my seller to tell him my scope has probably a problem cause I can't see shit past 100m when on KZbin ppl could see at like 400m. I finally know why, this is just this crappy LED IR instead of laser one. Thanks a lot for this video, I thought I was going crazy but no, this is just this IR that sucks. Greetings from France !

Hi there yes the LED is less effective than the laser but the scope itself is capable of far more .

So I have had the 5-20 Zulus since April and I am wondering if it has the laser IR or LED IR? How can I tell? Arken doesn't give that spec that I could find on their website? If it doesn't have the laser you think they will swap what I have for a laser unit?

@Albiemanmike not sure as Arken now have been bought over by DNT, however the 520 was inly sold with the Vscel laser IR so the likelihood hood is that your fine . What makes you think you have the LED IR? Welcome to send me a video of the IR at work. Remember the IR is zoomable, range has to be also focused on the scope and you have different intensities as well as screen brightness on the scope.

Could you take a photo of the two ir units showing the part numbers you are referring to please? I am in Australia and I think our version of the 5-12 zulus may have the led version. I am not getting the image quality you are getting out of the laser unit.

I can put up pictures . The models I have are the ZHD520R and the 3-12R the 3-12 I have us supplied with 850nmL led Ir and the 520 has 850nm laser

Mine is the 5-12 lrf also, but the picture quality is not like yours

[@FieldsportsScotland]

@chrismann9411 you must have the LED IR if you contact Arken they can replace it
