Battery Life And Brightness Settings Conclusions… Just as with the Crossfire, the daylight brightness settings get very bright and you shouldn’t have any problem seeing the reticle even on a sunny day.Īnd even though most people won’t end up using the 2 night vision settings, some people will take advantage of them, and I like that Vortex includes them at no additional cost. 10 of those settings are for daylight brightness and 2 of them are for night vision. Now the SPARC has a total of 12 brightness settings. ![]() The SPARC AR uses one AAA battery which is able to power the sight for 300 hours on the maximum brightness setting and 5,000 hours on the lowest brightness setting.Īgain, that’s not the best battery life you’ll find on a red dot sight, and it’s considerably less than the Crossfire, which lasts for 7,000 hours on the medium brightness setting. …and if you ever intend to run your optic with night vision equipment, then just be aware that this isn’t the sight for you. Unfortunately, there are no night vision settings on the Crossfire, but the truth is that most people won’t need them… The medium and high brightness settings get very bright, and I don’t think you’ll have any problems seeing the reticle even on a sunny day.

They’re also both waterproof and shockproof. Durability And Toughness Conclusions…īoth of these sights are made by Vortex, so naturally, they’re going to be similar in terms of materials and construction…īoth of them are made from high-quality aluminum and both have a sight housing that protects the windage and elevation turrets. All in all, it is also a very durable red dot sight. The SPARC is also waterproof and fog proof, so using it in rainy, snowy, or wet conditions won’t be a problem…Īnd last, it’s shockproof and can easily handle the recoil from high powered rifles, shotguns, and pistol caliber carbines. In addition to that, the sight housing is built up around the windage and elevation turrets…Īlso, just like with the Crossfire, the sight housing is built up around the windage and elevation turrets protecting them from being snapped off or spun accidentally. To start off with, the sight housing is made from high-quality aluminum, and it has an anodized finish that helps protect it from the elements.
