IR Lights and Flashlights
An IR flashlight puts out infrared light your eyes can't see, but a digital night vision scope or monocular can. Point it down a field and your night vision picks up the eyes and outline of a coyote or hog that would be a black shape without it. Most of these mount to a Picatinny rail and have more than one brightness setting.
What we carry
- Sniper Hog Lights Hyperion 66, 50 and 40 Gun Hunters Packages: each comes with your choice of 1 to 5 light colors, so one light can cover scanning and shooting.
- 30LRX: as a full flashlight package or as the light with a flashlight tail cap.
- 50KAP Headlamp for hands-free work at the truck or while dragging a hog out.
- Rix Long Range 3-in-1 IR Light (Light-01) for RIX and other night vision setups.
- Modules and parts: the Coyote Cannon LED Module, LED X Module, an IR light diffuser, and 21700 5000mA and 18650 3500mA batteries for Sniper Hog lights.
How to choose: a larger head like the Hyperion 66 throws light farther down a field, while a smaller head spreads it wider for close brush. If you shoot digital night vision, an infrared flashlight for night vision is close to required past short range. If you shoot thermal, you don't need IR at all, though many hunters still carry a visible color light for confirming targets. Swappable modules let you change the beam without buying a second light.
Spare cells and chargers are on our batteries and chargers page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an IR flashlight do?
It lights up the dark in infrared, a wavelength your eyes can't see but a digital night vision device picks up clearly. With a night vision scope, it works like a spotlight that only you can see. Many IR lights, including the Rix 3-in-1, mount to a rail and let you change brightness or focus.
Which IR flashlight should I choose?
Pick by distance and the gear you run. For long fields with digital night vision, a big head like the Sniper Hog Lights Hyperion 66 reaches farther. For tight cover or a lighter rifle, the Hyperion 40 or 30LRX is easier to carry. Call us at (309) 781-8421 and tell us your scope; we'll match a light to it.
Can my phone camera see IR light?
Often, yes. Many phone cameras show an 850nm IR emitter as a faint purple or red glow, and front-facing cameras tend to show it more than rear ones. It's a quick way to check that an IR light is on. Your phone won't show the whole beam like a night vision scope does.
Can deer see IR light at night?
Deer don't see infrared light the way a night vision scope does, so an IR beam on the field won't light it up for them. An 850nm emitter can glow faint red at the lens when you look straight at it, which some animals may notice up close. Check your state's rules on lights and night hunting before you go.
What color light is hardest for deer to see?
Red is generally the hardest for deer, since their eyes are less sensitive to long wavelengths than to blue and green. That is why many hunters use red or green lights at night. The Hyperion packages let you pick from 1 to 5 light colors, so you can carry the color that suits your game.
