Jahnke Phönix 2 Ultra

• Focused IR output: The Phönix 2 Ultra is designed to illuminate a smaller area with higher intensity, which suits open-field observation where concentrated infrared light helps extend useful identification distance.
• 850 nm LED emitter: Its 850.00 nm working wavelength is well suited to many night-vision setups, giving strong supplemental illumination when ambient light is too weak for a clear image.
• Adjustable beam focus: The focusable beam lets the illuminator shift from broader short-range coverage to a tighter long-range spot, so the light pattern can match terrain and target distance more effectively.
• Adjustable intensity control: With variable output and an intensity switch, the lamp can be tuned to conditions instead of running at full power all the time, helping preserve battery life and reduce unnecessary splash-back from nearby objects.
• Compact field-ready build: A steel housing, 89.00 g weight, and waterproof and fogproof construction make it easy to carry and dependable in damp, cold, or changeable hunting conditions.

About the Jahnke IR Illuminators Series

Jahnke IR Illuminators is a compact range of infrared lamps developed for practical night-time use with hunting and observation equipment. The series includes the Phönix Focus, Phönix 2, Phönix 5, and Phönix IR Compact Ultra, with each model aimed at a different style of use rather than a one-size-fits-all beam pattern. That makes the series easy to match to terrain, viewing distance, and the night-vision device in use.

Within the range, the Phönix 2 is intended to illuminate a smaller area more strongly for field use, while the Phönix 5 is oriented toward wider-area illumination at shorter distances in woodland. The Phönix Focus adds a continuously adjustable light circle for users who need to move between broad coverage and more concentrated long-range illumination. Across the family, the design emphasis is on practical ergonomics, compact dimensions, and beam control that supports real field conditions rather than fixed output alone. In Jahnke’s lineup, these IR lamps complement the company’s civilian night-vision equipment and give users a way to improve image brightness, contrast, and focus when natural light is limited.

About the Jahnke Phönix 2 Ultra

The Jahnke Phönix 2 Ultra is a compact IR illuminator built for users who need stronger, more concentrated infrared light over a defined area. That makes it especially suitable for open ground, field edges, and similar environments where a broad flood beam can waste output and reduce effective reach. By concentrating illumination where it is needed, the lamp helps night-vision equipment produce a clearer, more usable image at distance.

The 850.00 nm LED emitter provides supplemental infrared light for night observation without relying on visible white light. Combined with beam focus adjustment, it allows the user to tailor the light cone to the task at hand: wider for scanning nearby ground, narrower for directing more intensity onto distant subjects. The adjustable intensity function and dedicated switch add another layer of control, which is useful when moving between open terrain, reflective surfaces, and varying ambient conditions. In practice, this means less over-illumination at short range and more efficient use of the available output.

Physically, the unit stays easy to handle thanks to its 89.00 g weight and compact format, while the steel housing gives it a solid feel for regular outdoor use. Power comes from a CR123A battery, and the stated 200.00 h battery life supports extended sessions in the field. Waterproof and fogproof construction further suits the Phönix 2 Ultra to hunting optics and night-vision setups that are used in wet weather, cold air, and changing temperatures.

About Jahnke

Jahnke, operating as Nachtsichttechnik Jahnke, focuses on civilian night-vision equipment for hunting and outdoor use. The company’s background goes back to 1990, when founder Daniel Jahnke built an initial night-vision prototype. Jahnke manufactures its night-vision devices in Allershausen, Bavaria, Germany, and its product range covers clip-on night-vision devices, monoculars, binoculars, infrared lamps, and thermal-imaging equipment.

A notable part of the company’s lineup is the DJ-8 family, which includes monoculars, binoculars, and night-vision clip-ons. Jahnke also identifies Photonis as a supplier of image-intensifier tubes for its night-vision devices, reflecting the brand’s close connection to dedicated low-light observation equipment rather than general sporting optics. This specialization is relevant to products such as the Phönix 2 Ultra, which are built to work as practical support tools within complete night-hunting and observation systems.
