Review: High quality IR torch - Very impressive torch - very high quality and well made but at a reasonable price, simple to operate and nice to have the option to alter the range and focus of the beam - the 'ON' indicator light is also super helpful given this is IR. Works perfectly with the Prowl monocular and provides plenty of IR light while saving the battery on the monocular itself. Doesn't come with a battery but I used a button topped 18650 type and it fit with no issues at all. Pleased and impressed with my purchase - would recommend! Review: A must have for night shooting - Incredible for shooting. Can easily see across a 6 acre field with this. ## Features - POWERFUL 5W COVERT IR ILLUMINATOR – The Nightfox XB5 940nm is a handheld infrared torch that dramatically extends the range of any night vision device. At 940nm, the LED produces near-zero visible red glow, making it extremely difficult to detect. Must always be used with a night vision device. - SEE FURTHER, STAY INVISIBLE – The XB5 940nm is built around a high-output, professional-grade LED module that maximises range while keeping your position completely concealed. Near-zero visible red glow makes you exceptionally difficult to detect. - DURABLE & SPLASHPROOF – Built to withstand field conditions. O-ring sealed for splash resistance and weighs just 195g, so it won't slow you down in the field. Requires 1x li-ion battery (not included). - PERFECT FOR AIRSOFT NIGHT OPS – The XB5 940nm is the ultimate covert airsoft IR illuminator. Near-zero visible red glow means opponents without night vision have no idea you're lit up – giving your team a decisive advantage while keeping your position completely concealed. - COMPATIBLE WITH ALL NIGHT VISION DEVICES – Use the XB5 with any night vision scope or binoculars. For the ultimate covert experience, pair it with the Nightfox Prowl, Swift or Vulpes. Attach easily using the Nightfox Accessory Mount. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B087C75442 | | Batteries are Included | No | | Battery Description | 18650 lithium-ion battery | | Battery Type | Lithium Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | 30,979 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 197 in Standard Torches | | Brand Name | Nightfox | | Bulb Base | GU24 | | Bulb Shape Size | B10 | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (294) | | Finish | Polished | | Fixture Features | Durable | | Included Components | Bulb | | Item Shape | Cylindrical | | Item Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Light Output Maximum | 500 Lumens | | Light Source Special Features | Infrared Light Emission (940 nm) | | Manufacturer | Nightfox | | Manufacturer Part Number | XB5 | | Material | Aluminium | | Model Number | NF-XB5-940 | | Mounting Type | Handheld | | Number of Lights | 1 | | Power and Plug Description | Battery Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Enhancement of low-light or nighttime visibility | | Runtime | 2 hours | | Set Name | Nightfox XB5 940nm | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specification Met | IPX-8 | | Style | XB5 - 940nm Wavelength | | Type of Bulb | LED | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 100 Volts | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Wattage | 5 watts | | White Brightness | 500 Lumens | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Black - **Light source type:** LED - **Material:** Aluminium - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Special feature:** Durable ## Images ![XB5 940 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+TVlVeh9L.jpg) ![XB5 940 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21gcgIgipyL.jpg) ![XB5 940 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KTU8yJqoL.jpg) ![XB5 940 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EYbuvfrnL.jpg) ![XB5 940 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qTyMtxjRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality IR torch *by C***K on 30 May 2025* Very impressive torch - very high quality and well made but at a reasonable price, simple to operate and nice to have the option to alter the range and focus of the beam - the 'ON' indicator light is also super helpful given this is IR.
