Common Concerns Answered
I need a light for nighttime visibility. Will this work?
This light emits 850nm infrared, which is invisible to the naked eye but designed to amplify existing light for night vision devices and cameras, not for general visible illumination. Ensure your application specifically requires infrared spectrum output.
Is this light truly waterproof and durable for marine use?
Absolutely. The Black Oak Pro Series 3.0 features an IP69K rating, the highest standard for protection against dust and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, ensuring exceptional durability in harsh marine environments.
I'm not familiar with IR lights. What's the main benefit?
The primary benefit is covert operation and enhanced night vision. This 850nm IR light allows you to see clearly at night with compatible devices without emitting visible light, making it ideal for stealth or observation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 850nm infrared light used for?
850nm infrared light is primarily used for illuminating scenes for night vision devices, such as night vision goggles or cameras, to enhance visibility in low-light or no-light conditions. It is invisible to the human eye, making it ideal for covert operations.
Can I use these IR lights with night vision devices?
Yes, these lights are specifically designed to be compatible with and amplify the output of night vision goggles and cameras, providing enhanced visibility in darkness.
Are these lights waterproof?
Yes, these lights feature an IP69K rating, which signifies the highest level of protection against dust and high-pressure, high-temperature water ingress, making them exceptionally waterproof for marine applications.
What is the beam pattern of these lights?
These lights utilize flood optics, providing a wide beam pattern for extensive coverage rather than a concentrated spot beam. This is ideal for illuminating a broad area.
What is included in the box with these lights?
