The simplest way to improve night vision performance is, of course, to use an infrared laser illuminator. The X-Hog illuminator in the advanced Pro version allows you to select light wavelengths, has a smooth zoom adjustment and a replaceable VCSEL laser diode. Low power consumption and a perfectly symmetrical light beam with a range of over 1000 m make the X-Hog Pro an excellent choice for demanding hunting. Unlike illuminators with a classic laser diode, the VCSEL diode does not heat up intensively during operation.

The illuminator uses VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) diodes with a wavelength of 850 and 940 nm. The ability to select the range means that the illuminator light can effectively support the night vision sight, without scaring the game or being visible to other hunting participants, or work with the highest possible illumination efficiency.

The VCSEL diode used is characterized by a low dependence of the emitted waves on temperature and good current-optical efficiency. An important feature of the VCSEL diode is the low dependence of the emitted waves on temperature. Unlike regular LED emitters, 3 W is enough to power the VCSEL diode, so the illuminator does not heat up excessively during use. It is worth emphasizing that in the X-hog Pro laser illuminator we can easily and, most importantly, replace the laser diode module ourselves.

Infrared radiation of 850 nm has a long range - over 1000 m, making the illuminator perfect for hunting and long-distance observations. The 940 nm radiation range guarantees the highest discretion, while visible light - the ability to conveniently illuminate the hunted game. The X-Hog Pro illuminator is compatible with popular digital night vision devices, e.g. Infiray TD50L, Pulsar C50, Hikmicro Alpex, Pard 008.

The flashlight uses a convex lens and a variable focal length (zoom), which allows for a smooth change in the width of the infrared beam. Depending on the situation, we can precisely focus the light at a distance of 1000 m or use a diffused beam to illuminate objects up to 100 m away. We adjust the beam focus by extending the head. The hunter can also precisely adjust the light output from 2% to 100%. The light intensity can be changed smoothly using the rotary switch at the back of the device. The X-hog Pro Laser Illuminator is also equipped with a LED battery level indicator, allowing you to approximately check the energy reserve of the 18650 battery (not included).

The body and head of the flashlight are made of T6061 aircraft aluminum alloy, which is characterized by low weight, high resistance to mechanical damage and insensitivity to weather conditions. The flashlight is handy and weighs only 170 g (with battery), so when mounted on a weapon it does not noticeably increase its weight and can be conveniently carried on the belt. The illuminator has an IPX6 waterproof rating, which means the device can be used in any weather conditions.
