From Nitecore
As a new member of the NU Series specially designed for military operations, the NITECORE NU05 MI is a Mini IR Signal Light available with IR light (wavelength 940nm) and green light of totally 4 modes. It can be attached to the helmet for operations in dark environments and enable quick identification or location on different team members combined with night vision devices.
The hook-and-loop attachment on the back ensure a firm and secure attachment to the helmet or the outfit of K9s (police dogs). The slots located on both sides can also strengthen the attachment by fixing the helmet cord or bungee to avoid accidental loss due to shaking.
The green flashing and constant-on functions are able to indicate different grouping or to enable quick identification on team members of specific positions.
MSRP: $24.95
