NIGHTFOX XB5 Infrared Flashlight | 940nm Covert Wavelength | IR Illuminator Emits Invisible Light for Use with Night Vision Devices Only | 5W LED | Rapid Focus | Dimmable

I bought this to pair with a Triton IR scope. The integrated light on the scope was pretty good out to 100 yards or so, but I needed it to go 200-250, so I bought this. I was really happy with it. It easily went out to 220 yards with the beam focused. It does not come with the required 18650 battery, however, I lucked out that the Triton scope comes with an extra 18650 battery.

Bought this to use with my Sightmark WRAITH digital night vision scope. Wanted a unit powered by 18650 lithium batteries that also provides more intensity adjustment than the factory illuminator's 3 power levels provides. I got a chance to use it in the field this past weekend and am well pleased with the purchase. It appears to be as bright as the original illuminator easily lighting trees at 240 yds. I especially like that it runs either a single 18650 or a pair of CR123A batteries allowing me to hit the field with a charged 18650 while having convenient single use backup if needed. The smooth change of intensity from full bright to barely on is a great benefit, low level to spot eyes and silhouettes then once lined up raise the intensity for final verification of target before shooting. And the price is right. Only owned for a week, but so far so good. I do recommend this product.

Far better quality than I expected. Light throw is great for price. Overall materials are good solid. Dramatically changes effectiveness of my gen3 night vision.Con - switch is not waterproof. Easy fix, cover in small bag and band it in place.

I wanted this as a separate IR source from the digital headset so the batteries last longer. This light barely made any IR at even it's highest setting. The lights on the headset work great, but they must have put a different LEDs that don't emit the right wavelengths. It also produced a very noticeable amount of visible red light which is very different from some YouTube reviews I watched for this light. Not sure if this was a lemon or they changed something about them, but it just doesn't work right. I really wanted to use this as everything about the design was well done, but if it doesn't work at what it was designed to do, then it's useless.

This is a great product and works flawlessly. Sturdy build and powerful unit. But, I could not fiind a mount to put this on my NVG-f Goggles from ATN. I fabricated one in about 2 hours. Since the Goggles have a "Shoe-type" receptacle on top of them to connect to a Rhino mount, that is the first hurdle. I took and cut a 4"(approx) by 11-12mm wide piece of 0.093"(thickness) 'optix' brand plexiglass. Any non-flexible plastic will work. The thickness is important since it must slide inside the 'shoe' on the Goggles. Then take a sanding block with 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide sand paper and bevel the top edge of your strip of plastic so it will slide in the shoes' groove. You may have to sand the width a bit too so the strip will slide in TIGHTLT/FIRMLY! Once completed, you are on your way. The strip is your platform for attachment of a piece of POLYMER Picatinny Rail. YES POLYMER. Take a piece of rail which is smaller than your Plexi platform. NOW you need to use your sanding block to sand down the edges on both sides of the rail so the entire assembly will 'clear' the top portion of the 'shoe' when you slide it in. (The bottom of the rail.) DO NOT SAND THE CENTER PORTION OF THE BOTTOM OF THE RAIL...IT IS GOING TO BE ATTACHED TO THE PLATFORM YOU MADE. After you have sanded down the bottom -side portion of the rail and have checked that it will not hit the top of the 'shoe' you are ready to Epoxy the rail to your platform. Center your rail on the platform and glue with GOOD EPOXY(Not crazy glue)...perfectly centered. You may have to sand a little more off the bottom of the rail if it does not clear the top of the shoe. Purchase a set of 1" scope rings that fit onto Picatinny Rail and you are all set to secure this light into the ring and then attach this assembly to your home-made mount. Works super duper!.

Are there better IR Illuminators out there? Sure. Is this one a bargain? Absolutely. The IR glow from this is totally invisible, and I am able to effectively see coyotes fighting out at 600 yards through my AGM Comanche 22. Thinking about starting my own coyote fight club at this rate. Great piece of kit, use the focus adjustment to conserve battery life. I am able to get 8+ hours on the lowest setting, which is plenty enough for me.

I bought this because I have a Nightfox night vision binocular which is amazing for the money. However, the directions included for this flashlight are all illustrations with no explanations. It also takes a special 18650 battery NOT included (which is very unusual for a newly purchased device), so you have to put off using it and order it. Let's just say, I'm not impressed!

If you use any form of NVG this is a must have. A great product at a great price.
