ATN IR850 Supernova

1. Optimized Wavelength: The 850 nm wavelength of the IR850 Supernova is ideally suited for maximizing brightness and clarity in analog night vision devices by providing excellent IR illumination. While offering a brighter image, it produces a faint red glow visible to the naked eye. Digital night vision devices, capable of detecting up to 950 nm wavelengths, also benefit from its powerful output.

2. Enhanced Stealth Considerations: Be aware that IR illuminators with wavelengths under 875 nm, if pointed directly, can be detected by wild boar and deer at moderate ranges (up to 50 meters). For ultimate covertness, a higher wavelength or laser emitter is preferred, but the IR850 Supernova offers a great balance of power and visibility.

3. Advanced Illumination: For superior performance, the IR850 Supernova utilizes a high-efficiency LED emitter. While laser emitters generally offer a more focused beam and higher power density for longer ranges, the LED in this model provides a broad, even light spread, making it highly effective for various scenarios.

4. Robust Construction: Built for rugged use, the IR850 Supernova features a durable casing, ensuring it withstands harsh outdoor conditions. Its robust design contributes to reliable operation, making it an excellent accessory for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

ABOUT THE ATN IR850 Supernova

The ATN IR850 Supernova stands out in its class by offering a powerful external infrared light source specifically designed to dramatically improve the performance of night vision devices, both analog and digital. Unlike integrated, lower-power IR illuminators, the Supernova provides significant reach and intensity, ensuring clearer images in total darkness. Its core strength lies in its 850 nm wavelength, which is the most common and effective wavelength for traditional image intensifier tube (analog) night vision and also highly compatible with digital night vision sensors. This enables users to extend detection and recognition ranges significantly. While the 850 nm wavelength provides superior brightness, it produces a faint red glow visible to the naked eye, which game animals like wild boar and deer might detect if the beam is pointed directly at them within 50 meters. The illuminator uses an efficient LED emitter, known for its robustness and broad beam. Although laser emitters (typically found in higher-end products) can offer more concentrated power, the Supernova's LED design provides ample light for most hunting, tactical, and observation needs. Its durable construction ensures reliability in demanding environments.
