PARD TL3 940 nm IR Illuminator
The PARD TL3 940 nm IR Illuminator is a compact external infrared light designed to improve the performance of compatible digital night vision devices in dark or low-light conditions.
This version uses a 940 nm infrared wavelength, making it the more discreet option in the TL3 range. Compared with 850 nm, the 940 nm emitter produces less visible red glow, which makes it a better choice when concealment is more important than maximum image brightness.
The TL3 delivers up to 5 W of infrared output, offers three illumination levels and provides a listed IR distance of up to approximately 350 metres.

Why Choose 940 nm?
The 940 nm wavelength is the more discreet option.
PARD states that 850 nm gives stronger visibility, while 940 nm offers better concealment. This means the 940 nm TL3 is better suited to users who want to reduce the visible glow from the IR emitter.
The trade-off is that 940 nm normally appears dimmer through a compatible night vision device than 850 nm.
Three IR Levels
The TL3 offers three infrared output levels.
Lower levels are useful at closer distances, while higher levels provide more IR illumination when viewing farther away.
PARD lists approximate runtime as:
- Level 1 – up to 6 hours
- Level 2 – up to 3 hours
- Level 3 – up to 2 hours
Adjustable IR Beam
The beam can be adjusted to suit the viewing distance.
A tighter beam concentrates the infrared light over a smaller area for longer-range viewing, while a wider beam provides broader coverage at closer range.
Up to 350 m IR Distance
PARD lists the TL3 with an infrared illumination distance of up to approximately 350 metres.
Actual useful range will depend on the night vision device, weather, background light, target size and selected IR level.
Quick-Release Mount
The TL3 uses a quick-release mounting system.
This allows the illuminator to be fitted or removed easily without making it a permanent part of the setup.
Compatible Dye-Hard Products
The TL3 works well with compatible digital night vision products.
It is especially useful with PARD products such as the Night Stalker 4K Mini LRF, Night Stalker 5K eX, and other digital night vision devices that support an external IR illuminator.
For users who want stronger visibility instead of concealment, link to the PARD TL3 850 nm IR Illuminator.

Care and Maintenance
Keep the lens clean and free from dust, fingerprints and moisture.
Use a soft optical cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.
Keep the battery contacts clean and dry, and remove the battery if the illuminator will be stored for a long period.
Do not look directly into the infrared emitter while the unit is operating.

Conclusion
The PARD TL3 940 nm IR Illuminator is the more discreet TL3 option for compatible digital night vision systems.
Its 940 nm wavelength, 5 W output, three IR levels, adjustable beam, 350 m listed range and IP67 protection make it a strong choice when reduced visible glow is more important than maximum IR brightness.

PARD
PARD is an optics brand known for night vision, thermal imaging and multi-spectral devices.
The range includes night vision scopes, clip-on units, thermal scopes, monoculars and binoculars. PARD also makes accessories for many of its devices.
PARD products are made for users who need better vision in low light or complete darkness. Different models are designed for hunting, shooting, outdoor use and security work.
The night vision range includes digital scopes and clip-on units. These allow users to see more clearly after dark while keeping a compact setup.
PARD also offers thermal imaging products. Thermal devices detect heat rather than visible light. This can make it easier to find animals or other heat sources in dark or difficult conditions.
Some PARD products combine more than one imaging system. These multi-spectral models can offer both thermal and night vision in one device.
Dye-Hard Paintball stocks selected PARD products in South Africa. Our range includes night vision, thermal optics and related accessories.
