Features
- 360-Degree Signal Coverage: The crosslight format ensures following vehicles can maintain visual contact from any approach angle, critical on winding routes and in urban terrain where convoy vehicles are rarely in a straight line
- Visible and Infrared Output: Available in both visible LED and infrared configurations, with IR output matched to NVG performance characteristics for night operations without producing a detectable visual signature
- Custom Connector and Cable Options: Multiple connector types available as standard, with fully custom configurations for direct integration into existing vehicle wiring harnesses
- NATO Color Options: Available in NATO green, desert tan, and black to match vehicle livery across different operational theatres

Built for Convoy Operations
Convoy operations demand lighting that performs without compromise. A single lighting failure in a blacked-out convoy creates a dangerous gap in vehicle spacing awareness that puts the entire column at risk.
The steel and aluminum alloy construction of these convoy lights withstands the shock and vibration loads of armored vehicle operation, while the IPX7 sealed rubber housing protects internal components in driving rain, river crossings, and sustained dust exposure. The operating temperature range covers everything from arctic deployments to desert theatre conditions without any change in performance.
For infrared convoy operations using night vision goggles, the IR output is calibrated to provide sufficient vehicle-to-vehicle visibility through NVGs while producing no visual signature detectable by observers. This allows safe spacing to be maintained in complete blackout conditions. Check out our article on STANAG 4831 for full compliance.
For broader platform requirements, our full range of blackout lights and infrared vehicle lighting covers the complete convoy lighting stack.
Frequently Asked Questions
They provide coordinated low-level lighting visible only through night vision, supporting safe vehicle spacing without revealing positions to observers. STANAG 4113 mandates their use.
Infrared lighting illuminates for NVG-equipped drivers while minimizing visibility to the naked eye. It reduces risk and maintains stealth.
Yes. The product supports multiple voltage systems and connector types and includes universal mounting for various vehicle profiles.
