Additional information

The DPI-011-850 IR Covert Illuminator is a compact and rugged solution designed to enhance vehicle operations requiring improved visibility when using night vision technology. Featuring advanced infrared lights, this illuminator provides wide and long-range coverage to support safe driving at both low and high speeds without producing any visible light.

Its precision optics deliver a broad, glare-free beam for short-range navigation while maintaining long-distance reach for improved situational awareness. Built to perform in the harshest environments, the DPI-011-850 includes a versatile mounting system that fits a wide range of military vehicles.

This infrared lighting solution is also available with various customization options, including different wavelengths, adjustable intensity levels, and a selection of mounting and finishing choices to meet your specific operational requirements.

Drone Application

For aerial platforms and unmanned systems, the Covert IR Illuminator is also available in a lightweight variant specifically designed for drone lighting applications. This configuration can be supplied in various wavelengths from, from NIR to eSWIR, while reducing the overall housing weight and profile, making it ideal for UAV integration.

Its low power consumption and compact dimensions minimize impact on flight time and gimbal load, while still providing effective IR coverage for night navigation, surveillance, and tactical reconnaissance. Because the light emits no visible signature, it is perfectly suited for covert aerial operations where discretion and payload efficiency are critical.

Whether used for law enforcement, military, or search-and-rescue missions, these compact drone lights offer mission-ready infrared support from above.
