http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/machine_guns/ilee/press21.html
ILEE have introduced a new tactical LED torch with an IR filter, including a mounting-clamp for Mil.Std 1913 mounting rails (Picatinny). The tactical torch has an LED light source which transmits the IR light using an inbuilt filter. Traditionally a xenon lamp is used for his purpose; however xenon lamps are not reliably resistant to high shock conditions and have a failure rate which is clearly higher and inferior to the LED life expectancy.
By use of a LED the lifecycle of the torch is substantially improved. The IR content of a LED appears proportionally smaller than on a xenon lamp but...
