Sightmark IR Compact Illuminator

Sightmark has introduced a compact IR Illiminator for use with night vision weapon scopes. The best part is that it runs on standard AAA batteries.

From the press release:

Operable with two AAA batteries, the Sightmark Infrared Illuminator offers two power options, a low output at 70 miliwatts and a high output at 100 miliwatts for a more powerful and brighter experience. Featuring a battery life of 20 hours, the Infrared Illuminator also has an adjustable beam focus to widen or narrow the stream of light.

The adjustable beam focus is perfect for not only user preference, but for adapting to long and short ranges and indoor/outdoor use. For closer ranges or indoor use, where short distance target acquisition is more important, the wider beam will cover a field of view. For close range, focus beam on high power for maximum distance. The design of the IR flashlight is great for handheld use and the location of the on/off switch makes it easy to operate with the thumb. The Infrared Illuminator comes with a standard one inch weaver mount that fits most AR15s and average rifles and also comes with nylon carrying case for easy carry and storage.
