Pulsar Ultra X940 Infrared Illuminator

• 940 nm invisible IR output: The Pulsar Ultra X940 Infrared Illuminator works in the 940 nm band, giving digital night vision devices extra illumination while remaining far less noticeable than shorter-wavelength IR options. That makes it well suited to discreet observation at short and medium distances.
• Made for digital night vision: Designed for digital NV use, this illuminator helps maintain a clearer image when ambient light drops away, so compatible Pulsar devices can keep showing detail in overcast conditions or full darkness.
• Manual intensity control: Adjustable intensity lets the user match output to distance and surroundings, helping reduce washout and backscatter while preserving a more usable image in changing field conditions.
• Compact accessory format: With dimensions of 103 x 38 x 53 mm and a weight of 130 g, the Ultra X940 adds infrared capability without making a compatible night vision setup unnecessarily bulky or front-heavy.
• Field-ready construction: Its waterproof, fogproof housing and -25 ° / + 50° C operating range support dependable use in cold, wet, and variable outdoor conditions where night vision equipment is often used.

About the Pulsar IR Illuminators Series

Pulsar IR Illuminators are external accessories developed for digital night-vision devices that need additional infrared light when natural illumination is too weak for a clean image. Within Pulsar's accessory range, this series serves a practical role: it extends the usefulness of compatible digital optics in deep twilight, heavy cloud cover, and full darkness without changing the core handling of the host device. The line includes versions with LED or laser emitters and wavelengths such as 805, 850, 915, and 940 nm, allowing users to choose between greater discretion or stronger long-range illumination depending on the application.

In the series, 940 nm models are intended for short- and medium-distance use, where a less visible IR signature matters more than maximum reach. Pulsar also built the range around compatibility with its night-vision platforms, so these illuminators function as purpose-made add-ons rather than generic accessories. Across the family, the design focus is straightforward field use: compact dimensions, direct mounting to compatible Pulsar devices, and controls that let the operator adapt IR output to the scene. That makes the series relevant for hunting optics and observation setups that rely on digital night vision after dark.

About the Pulsar Ultra X940 Infrared Illuminator

The Pulsar Ultra X940 Infrared Illuminator is a compact external IR unit built to give compatible Pulsar digital night-vision devices more usable illumination in darkness. Its defining feature is the 940 nm LED emitter, which operates in an invisible range and is therefore chosen when discreet observation is more important than maximum long-range throw. In practical use, that makes the Ultra X940 a sensible match for short- to medium-distance scanning and target identification where a digital night-vision image needs support but the illuminator itself should remain unobtrusive.

The illuminator uses manual intensity adjustment, allowing output to be tuned to the environment instead of forcing one fixed brightness level. This matters in the field because too much IR can flatten contrast or create glare from nearby vegetation, mist, or reflective surfaces, while too little can leave the image dim and lacking detail. The stated 13.3 ° beam angle supports broad scene illumination rather than a tightly concentrated hotspot, which is useful when maintaining awareness across a wider part of the image matters more than pushing distance.

Physically, the Ultra X940 stays easy to integrate into a night-vision setup. At 130 g and 103 mm long, it adds capability without heavily affecting balance. The plastic housing, waterproof and fogproof construction, and 10.00 h battery life all support practical field use in poor weather and extended night sessions. For users running compatible digital night vision, this IR illuminator is a focused accessory: simple, discreet, and built around improving image quality when ambient light is no longer enough.

About Pulsar

Pulsar traces its history to 1991, when a group of enthusiasts began making observation devices. The brand itself launched in 2009 with the Digisight N550 digital night-vision riflescope, and it is part of Yukon Advanced Optics Worldwide, a high-technology group headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania. Pulsar focuses on optical and electro-optical devices for daytime use, digital night vision, and thermal imaging.

Its range covers riflescopes, binoculars, monoculars, clip-on attachments, and multispectral devices, showing a clear specialization in observation and aiming equipment for low-light and no-light conditions. Important milestones in the brand's development include the Quantum, introduced in 2012 as Pulsar's first thermal-imaging monocular, and the Apex, introduced in 2014 as its first thermal-imaging riflescope. Product families such as Thermion and Digex further reflect Pulsar's established position in thermal imaging and digital night vision.
