Nightfox XB5 Pro Infrared LED Torch – Refurbished 940nm Illuminator for Night Vision Devices

The Nightfox XB5 Pro is a purpose-built infrared torch designed to dramatically extend what you can see with night vision gear. Refurbished and rigorously tested at Nightfox HQ, it delivers a dependable, high-performance IR beam with all the essential features you rely on, backed by the standard Nightfox Warranty. While there may be minor cosmetic marks on the unit or box, these do not affect how well the torch performs.

Why the XB5 Pro stands out

• 940nm infrared illumination delivers a covert glow that is virtually invisible to the naked eye, preserving your stealth while maximizing compatibility with most night vision devices. Note: 940nm prioritizes stealth over raw range, compared with 850nm—there’s a trade-off you’ll feel in distant visibility.
• Non-flickering beam with new circuitry for crystal-clear infrared light, ensuring stable performance for long observation sessions.
• 5W OSRAM 4725AS LED—one of the best IR emitters available, delivering strong, reliable output for your NV gear.
• Rapid Focus and a stepless Dimmer allow you to dial in the exact brightness and beam width for your environment, from close-up inspection to distant scene scanning.
• Active battery technology in 2024: a 18650 3200mAh LG-cell battery is installed as standard, with easy USB charging using the included cable.

Rugged, reliable design you can count on

Constructed from durable aluminium, the XB5 Pro weighs just 195 g and is built to withstand real-world use. Its casing is O-ring sealed for splash protection and carries an IPX-6 rating, making it capable of withstanding rain and splashes during fieldwork or late-night patrols.

How it integrates with your night vision setup

Designed to pair seamlessly with night vision scopes and binoculars, the XB5 Pro is easy to mount to the bottom of your NV device using the Nightfox Accessory Mount Kit. Whether you’re scouting wildlife, conducting perimeter checks, or performing search-and-rescue tasks, you’ll enjoy a stable, hands-free infrared light source that complements your existing gear.

What you get and who should consider it

• Refurbished Nightfox XB5 Pro Infrared Torch with all standard accessories and warranty
• 1 x 18650 3200mAh LG-cell battery installed
• USB charging cable for convenient recharging
• Compatibility with Nightfox Accessory Mount Kit for NV devices

This product is ideal for night vision enthusiasts, wildlife observers, security professionals, campers, and search-and-rescue teams who need a compact, dependable IR light with controllable brightness and a stealth-optimized wavelength.

Practical tips and real-world use

• Choose 940nm for stealth missions where you want to avoid drawing attention, then switch to full brightness for fast scanning when needed.
• Use Rapid Focus to quickly switch from broad-area illumination to a focused beam on distant objects.
• Dim the beam with the stepless dimmer to reduce glare in sensitive environments or to extend battery life during long sessions.
• Regularly inspect the O-ring seals and keep the connection points clean to maintain IPX-6 protection.
• If you require maximum range with a visible glow, consider the 850nm option (available separately) which prioritizes distance at the expense of stealth glow.

With its robust build, precise beam control, and battery-forward design, the Nightfox XB5 Pro Refurbished IR Torch is a practical, all-season tool for anyone serious about night vision performance. Embrace extended visibility, reliable operation, and professional-grade features without compromising on stealth or portability.

Refurbished: all features of this product have been tested at Nightfox HQ to ensure effectiveness. There may be slight scratches or scuffs to the product or box, but nothing that will affect performance. Refurbished products come with all accessories and the usual Nightfox Warranty.

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.
