NocPix NITE IR Kit with Brackets – 850nm / 940nm

The NocPix NITE IR Kit is available in two infrared wavelengths: 850nm and 940nm. Both allow a compatible digital night-vision scope to see in darkness, but they have slightly different strengths.

Choose 850nm if:

• You want maximum practical infrared performance
• Longer viewing distances are important
• You regularly work across larger or more open ground
• Image brightness is more important than maximum discretion

Choose 940nm if:

• You want a more discreet infrared source
• Reducing visible emitter glow is important
• You generally work at shorter distances
• Discretion is more important than maximum illumination range

The NocPix NITE is a digital day and night vision system rather than a thermal imaging system.

A digital imaging sensor needs reflected light to form an image. During daylight there is plenty of visible light available, while a sensitive digital sensor can continue working as natural light levels fall.

In complete darkness, however, there may not be enough available light for the sensor. The NITE IR illuminator solves this by projecting infrared light onto the scene.

The digital sensor can detect this infrared light and use the reflected signal to create an image, even though the projected beam itself cannot be seen in the same way as a conventional white torch.

NocPix states an effective infrared-assisted viewing distance of up to approximately 200 metres for the NITE illumination system.

This gives the illuminator enough reach for a wide range of nighttime shooting and observation situations when paired with a compatible NITE digital scope.

The 200m figure should be treated as a manufacturer-stated maximum rather than a guaranteed identification distance. Actual usable performance will depend on several factors, including:

• 850nm or 940nm wavelength selected
• Ambient light levels
• Atmospheric and weather conditions
• Target size
• Target and background reflectivity
• Vegetation and surrounding terrain
• Scope magnification and focus

Where maximum practical range and image brightness are required, the 850nm version will generally be the preferred choice.

The 850nm NITE IR Kit is designed for users who prioritise image brightness and practical illumination distance.

Digital night-vision sensors typically respond very effectively to 850nm infrared light, allowing the illuminator to provide a strong reflected signal for the scope's digital sensor.

This makes 850nm particularly suitable for open fields, longer-distance viewing and general night pest-control use.

The compromise is that the emitter itself can produce a faint red glow when viewed directly at close range.

The 940nm NITE IR Kit is designed for users who place greater emphasis on discretion.

The longer infrared wavelength produces a considerably less noticeable visible signature at the emitter than a typical 850nm illuminator.

The trade-off is that digital sensors generally have lower sensitivity at 940nm, so practical image brightness and maximum usable distance can be reduced compared with the 850nm version.

The NocPix NITE IR Kit is supplied with the mounting brackets required to integrate the illuminator into a compatible NITE setup.

This means you are purchasing the IR illumination kit rather than simply a standalone infrared torch.

The bracket arrangement allows the compact illuminator to sit alongside the digital riflescope while keeping the complete setup neat and manageable.

Once installed, the illuminator can be positioned with the scope so that its infrared beam covers the area being viewed through the digital sensor.

The NITE IR Kit is designed as the dedicated infrared illumination accessory for the NocPix NITE digital day and night platform and is compatible with the NocPix NITE D70R.

The D70R uses a high-resolution digital sensor rather than a thermal detector. Its sensitive imaging system can work in very low ambient light, while the IR Kit provides additional illumination when natural light is no longer sufficient.

An infrared illuminator is required by digital night vision in very dark conditions because a digital sensor needs reflected light to create an image.

Thermal imaging works differently. A thermal detector measures differences in heat and therefore does not need an IR illuminator.

Digital Night Vision	Uses reflected visible or infrared light
Thermal Imaging	Detects differences in heat
IR in Complete Darkness	Digital: normally required Thermal: not required
Image	Digital: conventional visual detail Thermal: heat-based image

The NITE IR Kit is therefore specifically intended for digital night vision. Adding an IR illuminator to a thermal-only scope will not improve its thermal image.

You do not necessarily need to run the illuminator whenever the sun goes down.

A sensitive NocPix NITE digital sensor can continue operating where useful ambient light remains. The IR illuminator becomes increasingly useful as available light disappears.

Typical situations where additional IR is beneficial include:

• Complete darkness
• Heavy cloud with very little natural night light
• Dark woodland and shaded areas
• When additional target detail is required
• When using higher digital magnification
• Where the target or background provides poor natural contrast

Using only as much IR illumination as necessary can also reduce unwanted reflection from nearby vegetation, fencing and other foreground objects.

General night pest control

850nm is normally the best all-round choice because it prioritises image brightness and practical range.

Large fields and longer distances

Choose 850nm. The stronger response from a digital night-vision sensor is generally more useful here than maximum discretion.

Closer-range work where visible glow matters

Choose 940nm. It provides a less noticeable infrared source.

I just want the strongest image possible

Choose 850nm.

I want the least noticeable IR source

Choose 940nm.

Select either the 850nm or 940nm variant when ordering according to the type of night performance you require.

The NocPix NITE IR Kit is covered by the applicable NocPix manufacturer's warranty for accessories, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms and conditions.

Warranty cover applies to qualifying manufacturing or material defects arising during normal use. Accidental damage, misuse, unauthorised modification and other excluded circumstances are not normally covered.

Please retain your Bamfords Online invoice as proof of purchase. If the IR illuminator develops a suspected manufacturing fault, contact Bamfords Online and we can assist with the warranty process.

Does the NocPix NITE IR Kit include the mounting brackets?

Yes. The NITE IR Kit is supplied with mounting brackets for installation with the compatible NocPix NITE setup.

What does the NocPix NITE IR Kit do?

It provides infrared illumination for a compatible NocPix NITE digital night-vision scope when natural light is insufficient.

What is the difference between the 850nm and 940nm versions?

850nm generally provides stronger illumination and greater practical viewing range. 940nm provides a lower visible signature but normally sacrifices some image brightness and usable range.

Which version is best for most users?

850nm is normally the best all-round choice where maximum night-vision performance and practical range are the priorities.

Which version is most discreet?

940nm. Its longer infrared wavelength produces considerably less visible emitter glow.

How far does the NITE IR Kit work?

NocPix states an effective infrared-assisted viewing distance of up to approximately 200 metres. Actual usable range depends on the wavelength selected, environmental conditions and the target.

Does the NITE D70R always need IR at night?

No. The D70R can use available ambient light in low-light conditions. The IR illuminator becomes necessary when there is insufficient natural light for the digital sensor to form a useful image.

Can you see an 850nm IR illuminator?

The projected infrared beam itself is outside normal human vision, although the emitter can produce a faint red glow when viewed directly at close range.

Is 940nm completely invisible?

940nm produces a much less noticeable visible signature than 850nm and is the better choice where discretion is important.

Is the NITE IR Kit compatible with the D70R?

Yes. It is designed as the dedicated infrared illumination accessory for the NocPix NITE digital system and is compatible with the NITE D70R.

Does a thermal scope need this IR illuminator?

No. Thermal scopes detect differences in heat and do not require infrared illumination.

Which variant should I order?

Choose 850nm if maximum illumination performance and range are most important. Choose 940nm if a lower visible signature is the priority.
