The AGM Sioux940 is an 800mW LED infrared illuminator with an invisible 940nm wavelength. It's indispensable in situations with little to no residual light. The Sioux940 is compatible with any night vision device with a Weaver/Picatinny (side) rail, but you can also use it handheld. This product comes standard with an IR mount, a rechargeable 18650 battery, and a battery charger.
This 940nm IR emitter provides:
• that you can still see when there is no residual light
• An invisible infrared glow for humans and animals
• significant increase in viewing distance of up to 600 meters
• an increase in accuracy in identifying objects
• much better recognition of the smallest details
The infrared beam has a wavelength of 940nm. Its main advantage is that the infrared glow is invisible to humans and animals. You can adjust the power (0-100%) and the infrared beam angle (4 to 35 degrees). This allows you to illuminate a larger or smaller area of the environment.
Using the included adapter, you can easily attach the IR Illuminator to any Weaver/Picatinny (side) rail. The device is powered by the included rechargeable 18650 battery. You'll also receive a charger to charge the battery and a carrying case for safe transport.
Application AGM Sioux940 Long-Range IR Illuminator
This infrared illuminator is ideal if you want to be able to see with your night vision device/night vision rifle scope even in low or no ambient light. With this 940nm IR, both the infrared beam and the infrared glow are completely invisible to humans and animals. Moreover, you increase your viewing distance by up to 600 meters. An IR illuminator has a wide range of applications, such as tactical ones. But it's also an indispensable accessory for hunters, survivalists, or general nature observation. The human eye cannot detect IR light, but night vision devices allow you to see the illuminated area.
Infrared light: 940nm vs. 850nm
When comparing infrared heaters with different wavelengths, you can generally use the following rule of thumb:
• Wavelength 940nm: The infrared glow is invisible. However, you do have to compromise on power/viewing distance compared to 850nm IR.
• Wavelength 850nm: Maximum power for maximum viewing distance. The red glow is visible up close.
