Baja Designs Squadron Pro Infrared LED Light Pod

 

The Baja Designs Squadron Pro Infrared LED Light Pod provides compact infrared illumination for customers using compatible night vision goggles or night observation devices. Its three-inch housing allows infrared lighting to be added to off-road vehicles, utility equipment, hunting platforms, security vehicles, and other specialized nighttime setups without creating the visible signature of a conventional white auxiliary lamp. The light is intended for operators who need to see through night vision equipment while keeping visible output to a minimum.

Infrared output is offered in 850 nanometer and 940 nanometer wavelengths, allowing customers to balance sensitivity, reach, and reduced visible glow with the capabilities of their night vision equipment. Driving/Combo optics support forward movement by blending distance with surrounding coverage, while Work/Scene optics spread illumination across a broader nearby area. The selected wavelength and pattern should be matched to the night vision device, environment, and operating distance.

A black aircraft-grade aluminum housing with a Mil-Spec hard anodized finish protects the internal electronics, while a billet machined aluminum bezel and hardcoated polycarbonate infrared lens protect the optical assembly. The compact body is built for repeated exposure to vibration, dust, water, debris, and hard outdoor use. Built-in overvoltage protection, replaceable lenses and optics, and a rated life approaching 50,000 hours support long-term service.

The pod can serve as a dedicated forward light, a wide-area infrared work light, or one element in a layered night vision lighting system. Customers may position it on bumpers, racks, cages, A-pillars, grille structures, or custom brackets when the mounting surface can support the light and provide a protected wiring path. Multiple lights can be aimed to cover different zones without relying on visible white light.

The light does not include a wiring harness, so the electrical system must be planned around the selected quantity and control method. Baja Designs identifies harness 640117 for a compatible two-light on and off installation, while other custom control layouts may require different components. Secure grounds, proper fuse protection, weather-resistant connections, and careful cable routing are essential for reliable infrared operation.

The Baja Designs Squadron Pro Infrared LED Light Pod is a specialized tool for customers who understand the capabilities and limitations of infrared lighting. It supports navigation, observation, hunting, security, and utility tasks when paired with compatible night vision equipment and a carefully aimed installation. Whether customers are upgrading for night vision navigation, low-signature observation, or infrared work-area coverage, the Baja Designs Squadron Pro Infrared LED Light Pod delivers durable IR illumination in a compact universal housing.

Available Options

The Baja Designs Squadron Pro Infrared LED Light Pod is available in infrared configurations for different operating distances and visibility goals:

• Driving/Combo 850 Nanometer - Blends forward reach with surrounding infrared coverage and favors strong response through many compatible night vision systems.
• Driving/Combo 940 Nanometer - Provides forward infrared coverage with a lower visible signature for customers who prioritize discreet operation and have equipment suited to 940 nanometer output.
• Work/Scene 850 Nanometer - Spreads infrared illumination across a wider nearby area for staging zones, camps, work areas, observation positions, and slower vehicle movement.

Choose Driving/Combo for forward movement and route definition, or choose Work/Scene for broad nearby coverage. Select 850 nanometer for strong night vision response, or select 940 nanometer when reduced visible glow is the higher priority.
