I first learned of SiOnyx by walking by their booth and talking to their reps at Shot Show 2020. Color nightvision was something I became aware of recently. Being an owner of both night vision and thermal vision scopes, I figured I just HAD to try out the SiOnyx's Aurora. The low $399 price didn't hurt either. I've been experimenting with mine in different lighting conditions. Being a Boy Scout leader, my Troop often go camping in areas where it gets really dark and the foliage soaks up the light from our flashlights. What I really like about the color nightvision is I found it really enhances the power of my flashlight. By using the two together, I can see so much more in the dark, especially in the peripheral areas where the main beam of the light don't shine. Makes it safer and easier to avoid roots and tree branches when walking around in densely foliaged areas. The micro USB charge port means I can use the cell phone charging batteries to keep my Aurora topped off out in the field.
