Nightfox XB5 940nm Low Glow Infrared LED Flashlight

The Nightfox XB5 is a compact 5W handheld infrared torch designed to dramatically extend the reach of your night vision gear. Its focusable 38mm aspherical lens lets you tailor the beam from a broad flood to a precise long-range spot, ensuring your night vision setup is always tuned to the scene you’re scanning.

940 nm infrared illumination for discreet night viewing

The 940nm wavelength delivers less visible red glow from the LED, helping you stay inconspicuous in low-light environments. While 940nm IR light typically offers a shorter range than 850nm, the trade-off is worth it when stealth matters most—the light remains invisible to the naked eye and only becomes meaningful when viewed through a night vision device.

Seamless compatibility with your night vision gear

Use the XB5 with any night vision scope or binocular. For Nightfox binoculars, attach it quickly and securely with the Nightfox Accessory Mount Kit, turning a compact torch into a versatile NV enhancer. The 5W output provides a tangible boost to your NV images, helping you discern detail in challenging nighttime environments.

Real-world use cases

• Nighttime wildlife observation: illuminate subjects without spooking them, preserving natural behavior.
• Security and patrols: extend your device’s effective range for perimeter checks after dark.
• Outdoor exploration and camping: navigate terrain with improved visibility when ambient light is scarce.

How to get the most from the XB5

• Fine-tune focus on the 38mm aspherical lens to balance beam width and distance for your environment.
• Test with your specific night vision device to optimize IR sensitivity and contrast in your chosen scenario.
• Keep the lens clean and free of smudges to maintain beam quality and stated performance.
• When pairing with binoculars, use the Nightfox Accessory Mount Kit for secure, stable alignment.

Why the XB5 stands out

Unlike generic IR flashlights, the XB5 is purpose-built to enhance nocturnal viewing. Its compact form fits a pocket or pack, yet the combination of 5W infrared output and a focusable 38mm aspherical lens delivers a reliable improvement to your night vision experience. The 940nm option prioritizes discretion without compromising the practicality of extending your NV range, making it an essential tool for serious night watchers who value both performance and stealth.

The Nightfox XB5: A compact 5W handheld infrared torch, used to greatly boost the range of your night vision device. Featuring a focusable 38mm aspherical lens, the XB5's infrared beam will be a welcome boost to any night vision device.

The 940nm wavelength typically has a shorter range than the 850nm wavelength, but emits less visible red glow from the LED. If your priority is not revealing your position, the 940nm wavelength is a better choice for you.

The torch emits infrared light which cannot be seen by the human eye, so must always be used with a night vision device.
