This is a KL1 with the TIR optic modified with a high power Osram Golden dragon IR emitter. The emitter is driven at 1A per spec below. It will run off a single 123, 2x123, 3x123, 1 or 2 RCR123, 1 or 2 Li-ion cell, anything between 3 and 16V. It will run in regulation close to an hour and a half from a single 123 cell.
This is better suited for long range type viewing, especially with latest generation NV equipment. This will illuminate objects well over 100 yards with Generation 3 tubes. Because of the amount of IR emitted with such a narrow focus, using indoors is not recommended unless you bounce the IR off the ceiling or use a diffuser.
Data sheet for the IR LED here:
Osram SFH4230 data sheet
The 4230 emits at 850nm with spectral width of 40nm and emits a VERY faint red glow. It is not totally invisible so it cannot be used for covert applications. However the TIR optic narrows the beamwidth sufficiently that one cannot detect the faint glow unless one is almost on axis.
The radiometric power output is spec'd at 440mW. THIS IS NOT A TOY and should be kept away from everyone but a knowledgeable operator Because there is virtually no photons emitted, you cannot rely on normal "blink" reflexes if one were to turn the light on accidentally while looking into the business end. KEEP THIS AWAY FROM CHILDREN I cannot emphasize enough that this is a potentially dangerous but also very useful tool.
(E1L and tailcap not included)
Next shows some "beamshots" using ATN-PS14 Gen III, 64lp resolution tube
Same picture but with IR (range is 45 yards according to my range finder)
Same as above but at 121 yards aiming for where arrow head is.
If you've read this far and heed the warnings ...
I'm asking $130 shipped. I can take paypal cash only or money order. I post a lot on candlepowerforums (screen name CM) and have had many positive transactions there doing custom modifications for others.
Thanks for looking
