EI002 Illuminator

Fantastic product at a amazing price.
I had a hard time making out the recticle on my finder scope. This makes it very easy to see and use.

I picked this up to replace the failed illuminator I received with the Chinese made Orion 12.5mm cross hair EP years ago. I was hoping the threads would be an exact match, but I can only screw the light in about 2 threads. But that turned out to be enough. It works well and I'm very happy with it. Because of the slight thread mismatch I gave it four stars, but I would buy it again.

Works great. Not a perfect fit with my celestron EP but it fits well enough and works better than the other manufacturer's illuminator

Works exactly as advertised to make crosshairs visible in the finder even if the sky is very dark.

I modified this illuminator to work on my old celestron sct finder. It worked great just by popping out the old bulb in the housing and attaching this new illuminator to the old housing. This new unit is very solidly made.

This item is all machined aluminum and well made. It looks nice. My only issue is that it appears that the battery is not user replaceable. No instructions came with this item. I could not unscrew the knurled part as it was extremely tight.

Mark: Thank you for your input. I have placed instructions on the web page showing how and where to open the illuminator to replace the batteries. Thanks again for your comments.

Well made equipment, packaged very well & delivered on time.

Illuminates crosshairs evenly. Does what it’s supposed to.

Excellent product, good price and fast shipping. These days, fast shipping is hard to come by so I was pleasantly surprised when it showed up so quickly. Thanks Stellarvue!

I had a Meade 9mm double cross bull-eyed eyepiece that the illuminator quit working. I purchased this one and it fit perfectly into my existing eyepiece! It even came with the batteries, you can't go wrong with purchasing this.
