I am a Lineman for a Power Company. I have used the FLIR VP50 for years as a tool to determine if the power line is energized. With this tool it can be used from a safe distance.
You can be walking near a overhead power line and detect that it is on. This is not a replacement for proper tools and procedures, but will give you a quick reference when running a Primary line outage.
We always, always test with other means before we go hands on. A no indication situation does not indicate the power is off, but is a extremely quick for test, especially in the middle of the night while running several miles of line.
The FLIR VP50 will also give indication of a live power line through the windshield of a truck while passing under a live line.
Under No circumstances would you ever depend on this method for your safety, but saves a lot of time and driving to get several people back in lights.

I use my FlirVP50; often in my troubleshooting. Having to deal with low voltage often , It is nice to know In don’t have to pull out my heavy duty tester to check for voltage . Excellent for troubleshooting thermostat wires.

OMG!...This pen rocks! Have tried many brands, and always find something I don't like. Not this pen. Where have you been all my life! High sensitivity is good for early warning, while in your pocket. Also good for finding or tracking lines behind walls. Love it, love it, love it! Thank you FLIR for such a great product!

I have many other FLIR products and some of their IR cameras. I appreciate the light on the end of this unit, it is bright and works well especially in tight areas. The High setting is VERY sensitive, often picking up stray voltage a foot away, so I find I don't use it often. It seems durable and comes with a lifetime warranty from FLIR, can't go wrong with the price.
