Overview
Built for users who need a modular infrared illuminator that can adapt to different setups, this unit is intended for handheld, helmet, weapon, vehicle, or aircraft use when paired with compatible mounting hardware. It offers four programmable power levels and includes beam diffuser options to help adjust beam power and divergence for changing conditions. The design is compatible with common CR123 300 series white light bodies and existing aftermarket remote switching options, which can simplify integration into a familiar setup. As a Class 3R laser device with 850NM NIR output, it is a specialized tool for serious night-vision applications rather than a general-purpose light.
