Maketheone IR Torch 3 Watt 850NM Infrared Light Night Vision Flashlight Torch - Infrared Light is Invisible to Human Eyes - to be Used with Night Vision Device(NOT Include Battery)

Bought two of these on the off chance they may be of use and having used a visible white light version of this flashlight and been impressed.The IR version works well, in fact very well, I have used it with both Gen 1 and Gen 3 night sights. The 3 LEDS give a decent amount of illumination, the zoom function also works well giving a concentrated beam out to about 250m, this is more than acceptable and this torch performs as well as some illuminators I have used at ten times the cost, for the price of this product you are not constantly worried about losing it or breaking it and its very economical to run, it is the only illuminator I have seen that does not run off the painfully expensive CR123 but just one AA! I haven't changed the battery yet!I have used this for observing into dark patches and also to illuminate animal eyes at night to assist in owl spotting and locating the dreaded farm yard rats, and yes it works well with the sights on my rifle.It does give out a gentle red glow from the LEDs which is unobtrusive and not ridiculously bright as I have seen on some budget IR torches.In summary a very robust, effective and sensibly priced product I would not hesitate to recommend.

Got it for late-night sessions on Meta Quest 3, and it works great.It lasts for several hours of continuous use on a single battery.Removed the lens for eye safety.

I initially gave this 1 star for the poor range. I have since been and bought a proper night vision monocular and tried it out again (instead of with just usual digital recorder which pics up ir) and behold the range is a lot better and it illumines quite well. Only tried it up to 3 meter or so, I’ll be trying it outdoors and at a greater ranger later on but for now I’ll be increasing my rating from 1 to 4. Use this torch with the proper equipment meant for night vision and infrared and you’ll see how good this little torch actually is. It is well made and sturdy, feels well worth the money and it does work. I was too hasty in my first review thinking it didn’t work when I wasn’t using it with the right viewing equipment.

Does not work. I tried either new battery, either way. What does work is a red light shows up when you look down into the bulb, but no light shines out. Waist of money. For improved results, have ordered infrared torch from Tiktok.

This is a IR Torch Infrared Light with 850nm wavelength! If your using a normal camera thinking this will work to light anything up. It's not the IR Torch.This takes 1xAA battery that are around 1.2V if you think this is going to light up a whole football pitch or a city skyscraper. It's not the IR Torch.If you see violet or blue/white light and it's not very strong your camera is NOT night vision. You don't need to go back 20 years to get a night vision camera some panasonic and sony camcorders still have a IR mode. Your iphone does not have a IR mode!The photo for this does not do it justice the matt paint job is really smart looking. It gets warm fast i can see why they designed it with cooling fins. Works perfect for indoor use and is great for seeing what is in front of you at night or if you need to look in your bag etc. I would say you get around 10 useful Meters from the torch when you try to focus it just turns into a laser point dot (this is where their claim of 30 meters comes from). It takes 1AA batt this is the only IR torch i have found that takes normal batteries. I have another that uses them bigger batteries and one exploded. So AA is the way to go!Thing i don't like.The lens has a very big curve on it and sticks out so the plastic lens scratches easily. Maybe add a lens cap to the end. The belt clip is screwed into place the holes for the screws go all the way through the body. Am not sure if this has made it less splash proof. The screw on end cap is way to small and hard to put back on with no grip.I wish i could find a 2xAA battery IR torch just make this one longer and give it a better lens. It would be perfect.

Great little IR torch.

good quality product, allows for main IR unit on NV gear to be off which can sometimes be visible to others, and the torch is barely visible at all and provide adequate light in extreme dark, output could be brighter for 850lm but all in it does the job.

If you have nightvision this torch is great, it looks like a spotlight, but dont expect it to work like that using you phone camera you will need analog night vision or a good digital night vision camera for it to work well, im using the runcame night eagle 3 and it works tremendous
