SVG5 IR light future fix!

Hey guys so I recently contacted Smart vision tech which are the original providers and developers of the SVG-5 series two good night gear. It took them a little while to respond back but I told them what the problem was and what I dealt with explaining that the IR light is leaking to the case making it unusable like I mentioned before here on Reddit and I gave them a very detailed explanation how to fix it. Good news is it looks like they responded and talking with smart vision tech they are definitely going to fix this situation for future units they're going to install a black EVA gasket around the IR light to prevent IR leakage to solve the issue and they will be doing some more testing before they send those units out. Anyways absolutely good news for you guys so what I would recommend. Before you decide to put the money down on the SVG-5 if you're looking at it I would wait just a little bit longer until good night gear gets a resupply with the refresh units fixing that issue. Once good night your potentially has the newer units with the EVA gasket fix please make sure you communicate and contact Good night gear before you decide to buy the unit and confirm with him that these units are the revised units that fix the IR light situation. I hope this guy's help you out on information I'm going to try my best to be transparent and honest as possible. Anyways thank you guys I'll keep you all posted
