IR Light Bar
Infrared Lights built for you to rule the night!
Our IR light bars and pods produce a beam of energy at 850 nanometers, which is considered invisible energy. They are widely used in the military, security service, and public safety industries.
Infrared LEDs and Night Vision go hand in hand. That's why we designed the most advanced ultra low light camera on the market. Combined with our Infrared Lights, Nitron XD is a Game-changer.

What Makes Black Oak Infrared LED Lights the Best?
Black Oak lights are the best on the market. The key ingredient is our use of real infrared bulbs as a light source. Lesser products use regular bulbs with an IR filter. This diminishes the total light output, making them much dimmer and less suitable for long-distance lighting.
Our lights are built in a durable Dynamax housing, use a super effective Lexan lens, and have flexible mounting brackets to be adapted to almost any installation. We're so confident in our products we back them with a 30-day money back guarantee and a lifetime warranty.
IR Light Bars Overview
An IR light from Black Oak uses an LED that pumps out infrared light. Powered by 12V DC power supplies, these lights are the perfect addition to a boat navigating at night, an ATV patrolling a ranch, or any security vehicle where stealth is important. With the help of a low-voltage transformer, similar to what you would use for landscape lighting, these bars can intensify the outdoor security system around your home or business.
Where to Use an IR Light Bar
IR lights, bars, cameras, and googles are transforming the way people work, navigate, and hunt at night. A combination of IR lights and optics will allow you to do everything you do in the day, but in the dark.
Use with night vision goggles or scopes
The first step in night hunting and surveillance is to pair night vision goggles or optics with IR lighting. Most goggles and optics magnify IR light, so when you pump out IR light, the perceived brightness in your vision goes way up. Of course, the infrared light has virtually no visible signature, so it will not alert whatever you might be hunting or watching.
Adopt as covert driving lights
IR driving lights are brilliant for ATVs, UTVs, and off-road vehicles. Black Oak LED light bars have a beam pattern specifically designed to blend flood and spotlights together to provide long-distance center vision with solid peripheral vision. They can be added to security and law enforcement vehicles to make nighttime patrols more effective.
Ideal for nighttime marine navigation
With our ultra-rugged waterproof aluminum housing, you can mount an IR light bar to your boat to make nighttime navigation safer. With a camera package or night vision optics, you'll be able to spot other vessels, channel markers, and navigation hazards thanks to the optimal visibility provided.
Combine with a camera for Ultimate Stealth
While infrared light may not be of much use on its own, paired with a camera it can be invaluable. This technology is commonly found among the military where they need to work at night as well as they can during the day. Using night vision with IR light is typically the chosen technique as the light uses less energy than visible light, and it is undetectable by the naked eye. The military equips many of their vehicles with infrared specific lights as they need their cameras to have the most range and detail possible. Have enough IR lighting everything up from different angles and you may think it's daylight when you look at the screen of the camera.
Security Systems
Another common use for IR technology is in security systems. Have you noticed that your cameras still work at night when you can't see anything yourself? If you examine your cameras, you are likely going to find a few unlit LEDs on the face. This is how it happens. These infrared LEDs emit the light we can't see but that allows the cameras to still pick up the burglar snooping through the yard. If your camera system doesn't quite have the range to see the other side of your yard or provide the detail you desire, consider adding another infrared light source instead of replacing the entire system.
Top Features of the Black Oak Infrared LED Light Bar
In order to provide night vision for any of these needs, we offer these IR systems:
-
IR Pod Light - These small pods can be perfect for discreet installations for security or as vehicle mounts on smaller vehicles.
-
10" IR Light Bar - The 10" light bar is our smallest size light bar, but it is still very effective. It's undergone rigorous field testing and is ready to augment your night vision.
-
20" IR Light Bar - Our 20" light bar is a big step up in brightness, distance, and output. With stainless steel side mounts, this light is the foundation for night hunting and navigation from your vehicle.
These lights benefit from the use of an LED designed to emit light in the infrared range while other lights often have filters applied that instead block visible light from getting out. By using infrared diodes, all the power supplied goes to producing IR light greatly increasing the intensity and range of your night vision. Powered by 12V DC power supplies, these lights are the perfect addition to a boat navigating at night, an ATV patrolling a ranch, or any security vehicle where stealth is important. With the help of a low-voltage transformer, similar to what you would use for landscape lighting, these bars can intensify the outdoor security system around your home or business.
Super Efficient Output and Power Consumption
Our lights produce high output with very little power consumption. It's not easy to measure this as lumens because the light is invisible to the naked eye. But here's what our customers are saying:
- "What I liked most was the light bar allowed for faster scanning to locate target(s) across a 100+ degree field of vision in excess of 125 yards."
- "Used with Gen 3 night vision, I can easily see for a mile on a moonless night. Will be getting a couple IR more cubes for my ATV soon."
- "Results were amazing. It was nearly day time driving. So much better than driving at night with normal lights. We have the light bar on front and 6 pods wrapped around and it is a full field of view. I'm very pleased with the IR lighting. Some serious peace of mind."
We can't describe the light output in lumens, but these homeowners and hunters have been very pleased with the improvement in their vision.
Virtually no visible signature
The beam consists of pure infrared light, so there is no visible signature to spook game or alert intruders. It also protects your night vision, so you won't be dazzled if you suddenly glance up at the light bar. All the illumination comes from IR LEDs, so no visible light is made by the light bar itself.
Outperform white light LEDs for hunting
You can use white lights for hunting, but they come with a big drawback: all animals can see them. More importantly, animals can see the shadows cast by white light shining. If you are hunting at night, then IR lighting is the absolute best option. Hook up your light bar, choose your optics, and you will be ready to rule the night.
Many IR LED options
Black Oak offers many lighting options. In addition to the products we already mentioned, you can buy a kit with our night vision camera and clamp-on light. This is an easy install and will boost your boat navigation and site security immediately.
Our team of experts is always available to help. If you've got questions about which light to buy or how to build your ideal system, give us a ring. We'll talk you through your options and help you make the best choice.
