IR headlights

[byrdman1312]

Greetings everyone!
My occupation requires me to sneak around in the darkness. I need a pair of IR headlights. Anyone know where I can find some?
Many thanks,
Keith

If you can't find any in time, take some dark blue gels and layer them... 3-4... with 1 or 2 basic reds and put the stack over the lamp.

Uh, you do know that the revenuers are now using night vision goggles, right?

That 'said' (and laughing too) check superbright LED's web site, they may have what you need. I know that IR illuminators are available in LED versions...

Magnalight Golight, Explosion proof lights, Magnetic Spotlight, 24 volt & 12v Military Spotlights, HID & LED lights, Remote Control. Look under the military light section.

I like these, but a lot of $$$$

I have IR lights (not for sale) on my contact truck (not for sale either). They definately turn night into (green) daylight! Interesting driving with NVGs.

I have some PM me for info.

 

[Aswayze]

got a whole box of them as well. If Dragonman doesn't have what you need drop me a line.

Yes I knew that, and so are the gamewardens.

Thanks, I'll check for the LEDs too.

Do some research on the LEDs. Most of them emit a significant amount of visible light as well.

When LEDs are right, they are VERY right. When LEDs are wrong, you just paid a lot of money for red headlights...

Get the milspec ones shown on the front of 319's contact truck. I use those but I have clear and IR lenses. When I want to use IR, I just replace the entire front fixture. 4 screws for each and I'm either IR or white light.

IR headlights are 24v
Your sneaking around at night in an MV? Which one has the "silent" mode?

I saw a huge box of them for sale on GL not to long ago . Are the bulbs on these replaceable ? I have one on my m548 that is not working .

 

[Aswayze]

Yes, the covers come right off the front and you can get to them easily enough.

I have not looked for a replacement bulb since all mine are good but I am sure they are out there.

As far as sneaking with an MV, it can most certainly be done, we do it at East Wind all the time.

Yes, can be pricey though. I'll dig up the info.
This is the least expensive I've found so far.

They are a standard (Par 36) diameter sealed beam so a 12V can be used.


Love that M548!

Standard Par 36, so it can be had in 12v. Wattages will be different though.

 

[ODdave]

What is expensive?

What is expensive?

I checked a few parts stores and online for the GE 4811 or equal, and prices ranged from $10 (see above post) to about $40.

 

[ODdave]

I just want to make shure to get the correct mil spec wattage and 24v

I have been doing some research on this subject the last few weeks. I like them all and efficient when you look at the specs. The first 3 are kinda pricey, but made for different applications. All 3 are 12/24vdc...

The 4th one is the new LED replacement Blackout lights for all our trucks.

Mogger/Steve was over with his Monocular Night Vision and we tested the difference between the standard black out lights and the new LED.

The LED was 4 X brighter and cleaner, no haze. Sorry no pictures.
