Refurbished Nightfox XB5 850nm Infrared LED Flashlight

The Nightfox XB5 is a compact, 5W handheld infrared torch designed to dramatically extend the effective range of your night vision gear. This unit is refurbished and has been thoroughly tested at Nightfox HQ to ensure every function works as intended. You may notice minor scratches or scuffs on the body or box, but these cosmetic details won’t impact performance. Each XB5 ships with all standard accessories and the trusted Nightfox Warranty for peace of mind.

Why the XB5 stands out

• Focused infrared power – A 5W handheld IR light delivers a bright, concentrated beam that helps your NV device resolve detail at longer distances.
• 850nm wavelength – Emits infrared light invisible to the human eye, letting you observe discreetly with your night vision gear.
• 38mm focusable aspherical lens – Fine-tune beam width and distance for close-range scanning or distant targeting without wasting light on the surroundings.
• Compatibility and versatility – Designed to work with any night vision scope or binocular. For Nightfox binoculars, simply attach the XB5 with the Nightfox Accessory Mount Kit to create a seamless NV enhancement system.
• Refurbished reliability – Rigorous testing ensures performance parity with new units, while delivering tangible value and backed by Nightfox Warranty.

Practical use cases

Ideal for wildlife observation, security patrols, and nocturnal scouting, the XB5 adds dependable illumination where you need it most—without spooking animals or revealing your position to the human eye. Use it to:

• Extend the effective range of your night vision scope during late-night wildlife surveys or predator monitoring.
• Enhance search-and-rescue or patrol operations by illuminating distant terrain while you maintain NV focus.
• Set up quiet, hands-free observation with a compatible night vision binocular in stand or hide scenarios.

How this fits into your Nightfox gear

Pairing the XB5 with Nightfox equipment unlocks a cohesive, field-ready NV setup. If you own a Nightfox binocular, attach the XB5 using the official Accessory Mount Kit to create a balanced, light-controlled observation system. For non-Nightfox NV devices, the XB5’s standard infrared output remains compatible wherever your device accepts external IR illumination.
