ATN IR850 Supernova Long Range IR Illuminator - High-Power LED, Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery, Black Aircraft Aluminum Body, Includes Mount

The ATN IR850 Supernova Long Range IR Illuminator is a high-power infrared light source built for hunters, tactical operators, and night-vision users who need to illuminate targets without alerting game or compromising position. Unlike visible-light flashlights that spook wildlife and broadcast your location, an infrared illuminator paired with night-vision equipment lets you work in complete darkness undetected. The IR850 delivers serious range and output in a rugged, purpose-built package designed for field duty.

Built around a high-output LED emitter, the Supernova produces enough infrared brightness to extend your night-vision capability across extended distances. The housing is aircraft-grade aluminum with hard-coat anodizing—the same finish standard on military-spec gear—to handle rough hunting conditions, vehicle mounting, and weather exposure. The unit is rated IPX8 waterproof, meaning it won't fail in rain, snow, or water crossings. Power comes from rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, so you're not burning through disposables in the field; the included charger gets you back to full capacity quickly.

Four operating modes give you flexibility: dial in the output you need for your specific hunting situation, glassing distance, or tactical scenario. The IR850 ships with a rail-mounting system, so integration with your night-vision scope, weapon, or mounted system is straightforward. The removable grip ring lets you adapt the illuminator to your setup, whether that's helmet-mounted, weapon-mounted, or handheld.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with the ATN IR850 illuminator?

The IR850 ships with a rail-mounting system for attachment to night-vision scopes and weapons, a battery charger for the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and a removable grip ring for flexible mounting options.

Can I use the IR850 with my night-vision scope?

Yes. The ATN IR850 is designed specifically to work with night-vision equipment. The infrared output is invisible to the human eye but visible to night-vision devices, allowing you to illuminate your target without revealing your position to others relying on visible light.

How long do the rechargeable batteries last?

Battery life depends on which of the four operating modes you select. We don't have the runtime for each mode, but the lower-output modes will extend battery life between charges compared to maximum output.

Is the IR850 waterproof?

Yes. The IR850 is rated IPX8 waterproof, which means it can handle heavy rain, snow, and water exposure without failure. It's built tough for serious field conditions.
