Nightfox XB5 Pro Infrared LED Torch - 940nm

The Nightfox XB5 Pro is a purpose-built handheld infrared torch crafted to dramatically extend what you can see with night vision gear. Designed to pair seamlessly with night vision devices, this 940nm IR emitter projects an invisible beam that remains unseen by the human eye, helping you illuminate distant scenes without giving away your position.

Choosing 940nm means a subtler, less noticeable glow than 850nm—great for stealth operations. There is a trade-off, however: 940nm typically delivers a shorter viewing range compared to 850nm. If stealth and image integrity are your priorities, the XB5 Pro’s wavelength is a smart choice.

New for 2024: Ready-to-use power right out of the box

As part of a refreshed design, the XB5 Pro now ships with a quality 18650 3200mAh LG-cell battery installed as standard. When you need a recharge, simply plug the included USB cable into the torch and restore power on the go, keeping downtime to a minimum.

Crystal-clear infrared illumination

Inside the aluminium body lies a high-performance 5W OSRAM 4725AS LED. Coupled with innovative circuitry, the beam remains non-flickering for stable, consistent illumination, ensuring your night vision device renders a crisp, reliable image at distance.

Durability without compromise

Built from sturdy aluminium, the XB5 Pro weighs just 195g, balancing portability with resilience. The body is o-ring sealed for splashproof protection and carries an IPX-6 rating, so rain, splashes, and rugged environments won’t slow you down.

Precision control for any environment

Fine-tune your beam with Nightfox’s Rapid Focus and stepless Dimmer Switch. Rapid Focus lets you lock onto a target distance for razor-sharp clarity, while the smooth dimming control lets you adapt brightness to ambient light, NV device sensitivity, or stealth needs.

Mounting simplicity and compatibility

When you’re ready to mount, attach the XB5 Pro to the bottom of your night vision device using the included Nightfox Accessory Mount Kit. This creates a compact, single-handed setup ideal for quick deployments in the field or on patrol.

Versatile wavelength options

The 940nm variant delivers stealth-focused illumination that integrates smoothly with most night vision scopes and binoculars. If you need extended range and are less concerned about visible glow, the 850nm version is also available as an alternative.

Who this is for and practical uses

Ideal for wildlife enthusiasts, security professionals, search-and-rescue teams, and anyone operating at night who relies on a reliable NV image. Use cases include long-range scanning of terrain, covert wildlife observation, perimeter monitoring, and nighttime surveying where distance matters and visibility to others must be minimized.

What to expect in practice

With the XB5 Pro, you gain a compact, robust infrared tool that supports extended NV work without bulky gear. The combination of durable build, steady beam, and effortless power management helps you stay focused on the task at hand—whether you’re tracking, surveying, or securing an area.

The Nightfox XB5 Pro is a powerful handheld infrared torch designed to massively increase how far you can see with your night vision device. The XB5 Pro emits 940nm infrared light which cannot be seen by the human eye, so must always be used with a night vision device.

940nm wavelength LEDs produce less visible red glow than 850nm LEDs, increasing stealth, but there is a sacrifice to viewing range. Click here to see more about the difference between 850nm and 940nm.
