Pard Ir Light 850Nm Ir Illuminator

The Pard IR Light 850nm is a dedicated infrared illuminator built to transform your night vision capability in complete darkness. Whether you're running a night vision scope for hunting, tactical training, or professional surveillance, this compact IR emitter delivers the invisible light your thermal or night vision optics need to see clearly when the sun goes down. The 850nm wavelength is the standard choice for most night vision systems, offering excellent range and reliable performance across temperature extremes.

Built around VCSEL technology, this illuminator produces a focused 850nm infrared beam that reaches effective distances up to 350 meters—enough to light up a target far beyond typical hunting ranges. Three brightness levels let you dial in the exact output your situation demands: maximum power for distance work, medium for balanced range and battery life, or low for close-range hunting where you want efficiency. The quick-release mount means you can attach and detach it in seconds without losing zero or wasting time in the field.

Runtime scales to your power level: six hours on the lowest setting, three hours on medium, or two hours running full brightness. The built-in rechargeable 18650 lithium battery keeps you off disposables and ready for back-to-back nights in the field. IP67 waterproofing means rain, fog, and creek crossings won't kill your hunt, and the temperature range of -20° to +50°C means this illuminator works whether you're glassing in alpine cold or sitting a summer ambush.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What night vision systems is this IR illuminator compatible with?

The 850nm wavelength is the industry standard for most night vision rifle scopes and monocular systems. Check your night vision device's specifications to confirm it accepts 850nm IR illumination; most modern units do, but some specialized systems may use 940nm instead.

How far will this IR light reach?

The Pard IR Light delivers effective illumination out to 350 meters with its 5W output and VCSEL beam design. Actual range depends on your night vision optic's sensitivity and the reflectivity of your target, but 350 meters covers the vast majority of hunting and tactical scenarios.

Can I use this illuminator in the rain or wet conditions?

Yes. The IP67 waterproof rating means the illuminator can handle rain, creek crossings, and wet vegetation without failure. It's not designed for full submersion, but it will survive the moisture and weather you'll encounter in the field.

How long does the battery last between charges?

Runtime depends on your brightness setting: six hours on Level I (lowest), three hours on Level II, or two hours running at full power (Level III). The rechargeable 18650 battery keeps you off disposables and ready for multi-night hunts if you pack a charger or spare battery.
