## Description

Die XB5 von Nightfox ist eine leistungsstarke Taschenlampe, mit der Sie den Sichtbereich Ihres Nachtsichtgeräts erheblich erweitern können. Um die XB5 zu verwenden, benötigen Sie ein Nachtsichtgerät und 1 x 18650-Batterie (nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten). Die meisten Infrarot-LED leuchten rot, wenn sie in Betrieb sind - diese Diode mit einer Wellenlänge von 940 Nm gibt nahezu kein rotes Licht ab, sodass der Benutzer äußerst schwierig zu entdecken ist. Ideal geeignet für verdeckte Aktivitäten. Die 5 W und 4725AS LED von OSRAM mit 940 Nm dieser XB5-Version ist ein innovatives LED-Modul, das mehr Leistungsfähigkeit als jedes andere 940-Nm-Modul auf dem Markt hat. Sie sind selbst weniger sichtbar UND haben einen erweiterten Sichtbereich. Die XB5 ist robust und langlebig mit einem Gewicht von nur 195 g. Sie hat eine spritzwasserfeste Dichtung mit O-Ring sowie eine schnelle Fokussierung und Dimm-Funktion von Nightfox, um den Lichtstrahl präzise einzustellen. Sie können die XB5 mit allen Nachtsichtgeräten oder -ferngläsern verwenden. Für das ultimative Nachtsicht-Erlebnis empfehlen wir Ihnen jedoch die Modelle 100V, 110R oder Swift von Nightfox. Bringen Sie die Taschenlampe mit der Zubehör-Befestigung von Nightfox problemlos an diese Geräte an.

Review: 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: I have bought quite a few infrared flashlights over the last few years and I've started to work more with night vision and have been doing some infrared photography and, as a result I went out and bought a couple of "cheaper" infrared flashlights to use and try...they worked...then I upgraded to the Nightfox XB5. Honestly, this is by far the best infrared flashlight I've ever used! It provides the best options and light I've ever used in infrared! It has beam options from a wider angle to spotlight, and it lights stuff up in such a way as it is easily seen via the night vision or infrared scope or film, but is not so bright or obvious as to give away a position or location as it can be seen by the naked eye like some infrared flashlight. This has quickly become my go to for night vision or infrared use! My only complaint is it does not come with the batteries, which on their own, with a charger are not cheap, and there is no option to charge them once in the flashlight, but still overall this is the best infrared flashlight I've ever used, and this one issue would not cause me to recommend this light less, it's simply a need to know. If you are looking for a good infrared flashlight, the XB5 is one you should research and consider!

## Features

- The Nightfox XB5 is a powerful IR flashlight designed to massively increase how far you can see with your night vision device. The XB5 emits 850nm infrared light which cannot be seen by the human eye, so must always be used with a night vision device. 1x 18650 battery required (not included)..
- Most infrared LED diodes glow red when turned on - this 940nm wavelength diode has nearly no red light, making the user very difficult to detect. Ideal for covert operation.
- The 5W 940nm LED in this edition of the XB5 is a groundbreaking LED module with more power than any other 940nm module on the market. You'll be less visible AND see further.
- The XB5 infrared flash light is durable and long-lasting despite weighing just 6.9oz, O-ring sealed to be splashproof, and features Nightfox’s Rapid Focus and Dimmer Switch technology to fine-tune the beam.
- You can use the XB5 940nm IR illuminator with any night vision scopes or binoculars. For the ultimate night vision experience we recommend the Nightfox Swift 2, Prowl, or Vulpes. Attach it to these devices with ease using the Nightfox Accessory Mount.

La luminosité peut-être ajustée à l'aide d'un bouton qui contrôle un PWM (Pulse Width Modulator), un système qui allume et éteint la lampe plus ou moins vite. Le problème avec ce modèle est que même à pleine puissance, le pwm ne s'arrête pas, alors qu'il le devrait. Du coup, on n'atteint jamais la pleine puissance, et la lampe clignote tout le temps (attention aux effets stroboscopiques avec des caméras IR). Si vous avez besoin d'une source de lumière infra-rouge stationnaire, ce n'est pas ce produit.
