Zenitco Klesch-1IK Infrared LED Flashlight (Gen 1.1 / V1.1)
Genuine Zenitco | Infrared (IR) band only | Compact D16T aluminum body | Constant and boost modes | Two interchangeable end caps (long-arm and handgun) | Black
Please note: this model emits infrared (IR) light only - it is invisible to the naked eye and is intended for use together with night-vision equipment. It does not produce visible light.
In short: the Zenitco Klesch-1IK is a compact infrared illuminator in a one-piece D16T aluminum body. An IR LED delivers at least 350 lux in constant mode and 500 lux in boost mode at 5 m, for observation and detection in darkness through a night-vision device. It runs on two CR123A cells and ships with interchangeable end caps for different platforms.
Overview
The Klesch-1IK V1.1 emits in the infrared band only. Without a night vision device you will see nothing at all, which is exactly the intent: it lights the scene for the device and leaves it dark to the naked eye.
Everything else follows the Klesch-1 pattern. Output at 5 m is at least 350 lx in constant mode and 500 lx in boost, from two CR123A cells running no less than 1.2 hours. With the sidearm cap fitted it measures 78 x 38 x 37 mm and weighs 82 g without cells.
