The Magnalight RL-85-3W1-IR Infrared LED Pistol Grip Spotlight is an extremely rugged and effective IR spotlight designed to give users in operations requiring infrared illumination a powerful, durable and easy to use source of IR light. This IR spotlight produces an infrared light beam approximately 1,800’ long by 175’ wide in the 850 to 940 Nm range depending upon configuration, requires no tools for servicing and runs for 16 hours on a single 2 hour charge.

This light weight, infrared LED spotlight is ergonomically designed to produce a well balanced and easily managed handheld infrared light source that can withstand abuse under tactical conditions and operate for 16 hours on a single charge of its integrated lithium ion battery pack. This light contains a single infrared LED which is paired with a patent pending reflector design to produce an infrared light beam that reaches 1,800 feet in length and 175 feet in width. This beam is strong enough to allow operators to read signs, license plates, addresses and other similar markings at the far end of its total range. This pistol grip spotlight is designed for durability with a handle constructed of high impact nylon and an LED fully potted within a lamp assembly constructed of machined aluminum. The LED lamp assembly is protected by a thick Lexan lens and the integral lithium ion battery pack provides long battery life rated at 1,000’s of charge cycles.

This IR spotlight and the materials it is constructed from are water, UV ray, impact and vibration resistant and designed to be easily field serviceable. This unit requires no tools to remove any components and the internal connectors are accessed through a snap in base at the bottom of the handle.

The Magnalight RL-85-3W1-IR handheld infrared spotlight from Larson Electronics was chosen as an Editor's Choice product by Military Embedded Systems Magazine and is featured in the Editors Choice Products column of their July/August 2011 edition.

Lithium Ion Reliability: This pistol grip IR spotlight contains an integral lithium ion battery pack for the highest reliability and durability possible. This unit charges in 2 hours and provides 16 hours of runtime when fully charged. The lithium ion batteries used in this unit do not require special charging practices to preserve their effectiveness or longevity and can be recharged when only halfway depleted or only charged to a fraction of their full capacity and will not suffer from degradation or battery memory issues. This means you do not need to wait until the batteries are fully depleted before recharging them, nor do you need to allow them to fully recharge before using the unit. This unit can be partially recharged, used, then the recharging process can be finished later as time allows without any loss of battery life as would happen with NiCad batteries if they were used in this manner. This allows users to use this unit at any time without having to follow complex or highly inconvenient battery charging procedures. Finally, these batteries hold their charge for up to 12 months, allowing users to avoid the need for constant maintenance charging.

Durability-Convenience: The RL-85-3W1-IR Infrared LED Pistol Grip Spotlight contains a single infrared LED that is fully potted within a machined aluminum lamp housing and protected by a thick Lexan lens. This LED has an expected life span of 50,000+ hours and the entire LED lamp housing can be removed and replaced. This light is constructed of UV, water and impact resistant materials including a handle constructed of high impact nylon for extreme durability and resistance to damage from vibrations, shocks and impacts. The machined aluminum lamp housing is finished with an anodized coating for corrosion resistance. 16 gauge wiring is used to connect the internal components and an integral lithium ion battery pack provides 16 hours of runtime and requires 2 hours for a full charge. The included universal smart charging unit is compatible with any voltages both domestic and international and plugs into any standard wall outlet. The smart charger that ships with this light operates automatically and will top off the battery and quit once the battery is fully charged, even if the light is left connected to the charger once fully charged.

Versatility: The entire unit weighs only 14 ounces and comes with an included wrist lanyard for added carrying security. This light can be ordered in either 850Nm light output configuration for use with older and more common night vision devices or 940Nm light output configuration for use with the latest 4th generation night vision equipment. This light has a 3/8-16 inch brass nut fastener imbedded in the base of the handle to allow mounting this light to a tripod or magnetic base like our MM-2 or MM-5. We also offer permanent mount bases, which can be screwed into the base as well. This unit is fully field serviceable and requires no tools to disassemble or reassemble. This unit is ideal for military, security and law enforcement as well as hunting and any application that requires an extremely durable and effective source of infrared illumination.
