I just took a night time navagation course and am wondering if you can set a bearing with this without the use of a flashlight?

yes you can the tritium glows very well it even comes with a card that tells you how to figure out how many clicks so you can set it to any degrees you need it set at
243525
Yes, it will be easier if you have it pointed north because then even if you can't see the glow you can turn the dial and each click is 3 degrees.

No you can't. But don't worry. The flashlight portion will break after a week anyway. It's a piece of junk.

A side wheel is available as an option. I got one and it works great making adjustments much easier without accidently turning on the illumination.

I would not recommend it for that. There is more specialized equipment for that. This is primarily for the detection of luminaires. I use it in construction because when doing night work you have to meet a certain criteria.

Yes, of course you can. I'm using this feature from time to time and it works just fine. The only inconvenience is than I have to check my position periodically because I don't have mount point on my kayak.

This handy little tool is useable with or without the light on. This magnifier needs two (2) AAA batteries (not included) to light the two9@0 bright LED lights. You can use it as a normal magnifier without turning the kights on.Fair Winds and Following Seas!stam peden

I agree with David, invest in a better tach for your application unless you're always close to shore. This (and similar items) is NOT a high quality precision product. It's a cheap solution to track non-critical service revs. Besides, I would highly doubt the readout would be bright enough on the water based on mine.

Sort of. The nav light doesn't rotate but it turns off when the spot is engaged. When you turn off the spot, the nav lights come back on.

If you remove battery, you could use the magnifier w/o the light. There is no on-off button for light. My earlier review said light didn't work. I tried again and it worked. Still think the uses for this are very limited.

Yes, to conserve the battery you can use the rangefinder without turning on the GPS. Note the battery is rechargeable and last for a few rounds even with the GPS turned on.

I have one of these with light. I would think you could buy one without the light. I assume it comes with a light kit

Hi. I don't see why you could not. I use mine to mark fossil spots in the badlands, then walk back to them. Because GPS is based on satellite locations, being on water should make no difference. At least that is my opinion. I have not used mine for fishing. Hope this helps!

Yes you can but it may take you some time to adjust. Depth perception up close is a little off. You can see things close in a wooden area with no moonlight. You are limited to about 100 yards. I would give yourself to time to practice before completely relying on these for a night hiking experience. Personally, I would not hike at night unless I absolutely had to.

I don't carry my flashlight it's in a tool box, but i have had one made for another light, years ago, by a friend of mine. You might have to do the same.

You can use it without an attachment on it, so yes, you can use it like a flash light. Don't think it'd be as bright, though.

Yes in 2 sets if you will. To turn it on (Ambidex) there are 2 pressure points at the back top corner that you pinch to together and hold for 3 seconds-that turns it on. Then there a 3 small squishy buttons- 1 turns on the laser, the next the static light, 3rd laser and static light. For laser/strobe light hold laser and light. When the unit is turned on but not shining any light/laser there is a small blue nightlight visible from shooters perspective only-won't ghost your position. Except for Night Vision-ha. There is no external chord with a button you place on this.

There is no reason why you couldn't. The directional lights will make it easy for you to illuminate exactly what you want. You can even do the simple Velcro installation in lieu of screwing it in, since you don't have gravity working against you.
