Maketheone IR Torch 3 Watt 850NM Infrared Light Night Vision Flashlight Torch - Infrared Light is Invisible to Human Eyes - to be Used with Night Vision Device (NOT Include Battery)

Really powerful IR Illuminator for the price. Would work best in a handheld or helmet based set up. Almost too bright, and does end up autogating my Gen 3 Elbit WP tubes. Provides better IR Illuminator performance than most Full Power IR Laser/VCSEL set ups.I doubt it would handle long term shock from a Carbine, but definitely could be interesting to test out. Would also need to be installed really close to the muzzle, or else the end users will more than likely experience autogating.Extremely lightweight, takes AA batteries, and fits easily into a pocket. Perfect accessory or gift for the average NVG user.

Bought for traveling in sketchy areas. At price it's a quality product with- good optics- easily carried.- Lens caps permanently attached so they don't go astray!- threaded insert for tripod head mount holeConnection to phone not solid if moving (handheld, car, boat or plane) - okay on solid base but use 3 second timer.Single handed use with focus on top.

I do not understand the high reviews this thing has received. It is garbage.First, there is no way to tell with the naked eye if this thing is on or off. If you don't pay attention, you could drain the battery down to zero while it sits wherever you store it. It should be a huge red flag when the designers didn't even think to put some kind of power on indicator. A colored ring, a sliding switch instead of a pushbutton. Something.Second, I work with thermal cameras. The most powerful in the world, so I had a perfect test environment and I can tell you this is a weak IR flashlight. Really, really weak. Beyond six feet, it is useless.

I bought this IR Light to use and an "Umbrella" light on my helmet. the first two pictures are of my counter top, 1 pitch black zero loom bleed, and the second is the same conditions but the light is being pointed at the celling. ignore that the camera is not focused through the tube, however you can see the light provides a huge change in available light in the environment. the next pictures are outside; conditions no moon, clear sky with a low amount of light pollution. one picture is no illuminator just the NVGs, next is the illuminator at its widest setting pointed at the building ~75m away. next is the illuminator at its furthest focal point aimed at the side of the building, and the last is the zoomed illuminator pointed ~20m in front of the device. closes points would be for a supplementary illuminator for IDing and engaging targets in the open as you can see it suffers greatly. however as a low ambi indoor and inclosed space device the low out put allows for enough light exposure that you can identify fine details without over powering and white washing the intensifier tubes. these pictures were taken on my S22 through an OMNI 3 thin film green phos. intensifier tube.

At night with my infrared goggles I turn this thing on it turns night into daytime as wide view and zoom and works great

It provides ir light, but the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery.

Great IR flashlight for using my video camera in nightvision mode. It's very bright and goes quite aways. I noticed someone left a bad review stating that you can't tell when it's on. I almost didn't buy it because of that review. It turns out that was false. All you have to do is simply look at the lens when it's on and you can clearly see the square red IR light with your own eyes. Now I'm ready to go out and film Bigfoot once all the snow melts.

Incredible IR light. The focused beam lights up 200+ yards really well, and the broad beam is great. Absolutely fantastic IR light with great build quality especially at this price point.
