Victor's Review of ADE Advanced Optics NUWA PRO Motion Awake Ultra Micro Green Dot Sight
FIRST: All the reviews show a different model than i received. the listing shows some pictures with a sawtooth model, which is what i got, and some without. the listing also says this should be a green circle dot, but i got a plain green dot. it came wrapped in a bag with scotch tape holding it closed too, so hopefully they send the correct item, with the circle dot, when the replacement arrives. pictures of what they sent me are included for reference...
SECOND: Got the correct optic. It fits properly, and looks good... However it doesnt have a NV setting that is invisible to the unaided eye. The listing says it does. It also doesnt turn off completely whether using the long button press or time elapsed auto shutoff function. It just switches to the dimmest setting, which is still visible. I emailed ADE and they told me to expect about 2000hr battery life. It is advertised as 5000hr and also as 10,000hr in the item listing, but the ADE rep told me 2000... Disappointing. That means I'm going to be changing batteries every 3months if I'm lucky. Probably going to pass. If I do keep it, the battery is coming out for storage, and it will be a range only toy, since it is obviously not a serious use optic.
UPDATE: Decided to see how long the battery would last with intermittent use, on the second brightest setting. May 11th would have been approximately the 2000hr mark, and just a couple days ago, it started getting dim automatically. Today is about 18wks past that 2000hr mark, with intermittent occasional use. Not too bad. I'm more happy with the fact that it "lets you know" the battery is getting weak by running at a dimmer setting. I can still manually make it brighter, but the shake-awake defaults to a lower level. Pleasant surprise. Bumping up to 4 stars.
