Traditional method of applying an infrared filter over a xenon light to provide supplemental infrared illumination has several drawbacks. One of the most critical disadvantage is during the transitioning from IR to white light, which often occurs at the most critical juncture, leaving little time for the operator to take the triggering finger off the trigger only to flip open the IR filter. Our MD2 Xenon NVGLight addresses this problem with an independent side IR LED illuminator, allowing the white light to be always available on demand when needed. Unlike the IR filtered xenon light which is weak and often inadequate, the side IR LED illuminator provides powerful IR light that projects a perfect spot out to 100 meters in distance. Similar to other MD-Series lights, the optimal placement of NVGLight is at 3 o'clock position on a rail with vertical handgrip. Although other positions are permissible, this position allows the direct activation of IR illuminator with the thumb of the grip holding hand, while allowing the remote triggering of the primary white light via the straight cord pressure pad at anytime. The primary xenon light provides 70 lumens of smooth light beam maximally-focused by our proprietary textured reflector for achieving the greatest distance and center brightness. The xenon bulb is protected by an anti-scratch tempered glass lens, and is damped against recoil by the internal spring loaded back-plate deflection mechanism against a completely isolated battery compartment. The integrated ultra compact A.R.M.S. #17S throw lever mount easily engages and disengages the light from the Picantinney rail. Manufactured by high precision CNC machine from aerospace grade aluminum with anti-abrasive, anti-corrosive, and anti-reflective military spec Type III hard anodized exterior finish, MD2 Xenon NVGLight is rugged and durable for illumination in the most critical environments. The anti-reflective finish reduces glare and minimizes signature in ensuring stealth. MD2 Xenon NVGLight is preconfigured with TR3 straight-cord tri-mode remote pressure pad switch. Positioned in momentary mode, the light can be activated by pressing the remote pressure pad. Turn tail-cap slightly to position in constant-on mode. Constant-on switches light on continuously without pressing, and is also useful in the event of remote pressure pad or cord failure. The pentagonal shape tail-cap facilitates rotation for operating the switch mechanism, including positioning the switch in lockout mode. This tail-cap is compact and light-weight, allowing the system to have better form factor. An independent recessed push ON/OFF tail-cap switch easily activates the side IR illuminator. The pentagonal shape tail-cap facilitates its rotation for placing the remote tail-cap switch in safety lock-out position. Each MD2 NVGLight is individually serialized for inventory control. The unit can be easily serviced in the field with a Field Service Kit, including the option of replacing the front tempered glass lens if it is damaged during an unexpected frontal impact. Going beyond the traditional method of IR illumination of the last decade, MD2 Xenon NVGLight is our top of the line solution for providing both supplemental IR illumination and tactical white light for military and law enforcement application.
