Where IR Beacons Earn Their Place

Team movement at night

A tactical IR beacon identifies separate teams during open-area movement through woods and structures.

Helmet identification

An IR strobe light for helmet mounting keeps every operator trackable by NODS, overwatch, and air support.

Marking gear & positions

Stick-on markers like the SPARK flag equipment, vehicles, and rally points in any environment.

Training & range nights

Constant-on modes cover low-light training, with reusable markers as a simple alternative to chem lights.

Choosing an IR Signaling Device

Match the beacon to the job: a helmet strobe with visible and IR modes covers duty use, while a compact IR beacon light like the SPARK or V-Lite handles marking and identification at lower cost. Check color and IR options per model, since several run red, green, and infrared from one housing. Unsure what your unit needs? We will sort modes, mounting, and quantity in one conversation.

Strobing is a mode, not a different device. Most beacons here run constant-on for steady marking and a flash or strobe mode for attention and tracking.

Helmet strobes like the HEL-STAR 6 LE are designed for tracking by NODS, night vision overwatch, and overhead helicopter cameras.

Yes, civilians can buy and run them. Some night vision related equipment carries export restrictions: we only export for government agencies and do not handle exports for individual buyers.

The HEL-STAR 6 LE mounts to helmets with integrated tie downs, the SPARK uses hook-and-loop backing with an optional cage for webbing or magnetic attachment, and the V-Lite's flexible silicone body adapts to curved surfaces.
