Baja Designs Squadron-R Pro Infrared LED Light Pod

 

Baja Designs Squadron-R Pro Infrared LED Light Pod is a compact 850nm infrared auxiliary light developed for specialized nighttime applications that use compatible infrared viewing equipment. The round Squadron-R bezel gives the familiar compact pod a distinct profile, while the black aluminum housing maintains a discreet, professional appearance on powersports, utility, hunting, security, and other purpose-built platforms. This is not a conventional visible-light pod and should be selected only when the intended equipment and operating environment call for infrared illumination.

An infrared Driving/Combo optic distributes energy for a blend of forward reach and peripheral coverage when viewed through compatible systems. The pattern supports movement through varied terrain by avoiding the extremely narrow field associated with a dedicated spot optic. Proper aiming remains essential because infrared illumination can still reflect from dust, vegetation, glass, body panels, and nearby surfaces in ways that affect the viewing system.

The pod uses Osram 850nm LED technology and is rated at 24 watts with a 1.73-amp draw. Its housing measures about 3.07 inches long, 3.07 inches high, and 2.76 inches deep, keeping the installation compact enough for many cage, bumper, rack, and equipment locations. Built-in overvoltage protection supports the light when it is connected to a properly fused and controlled electrical circuit.

Aircraft-grade aluminum with a hard-anodized finish, a billet-machined aluminum bezel, a hardcoated polycarbonate lens, and stainless steel mounting hardware support demanding outdoor use. Durability references include IP69K water resistance, IK10 mechanical impact compliance, and durability testing that exceeds MIL-STD810G. These construction details matter on equipment exposed to vibration, dust, moisture, branches, washdowns, and repeated transport.

The Squadron-R Pro Infrared pod is sold individually and does not include a wiring harness, allowing customers to integrate it into a purpose-built electrical and control system. Wiring, switching, connector selection, and power management should match the host vehicle and any compatible viewing equipment. Installation planning should also consider concealment, reflected energy, operator sight lines, heat sources, moving parts, and the need to prevent accidental activation.

This specialized light is best suited to experienced users who understand infrared equipment, aiming, and legal or land-use requirements. The compact housing can support discreet placement while the Driving/Combo optic provides a useful balance of coverage for controlled nighttime operation. Whether customers are upgrading for specialized night observation, property work, hunting support, or controlled off-road use, the Squadron-R Pro Infrared LED Light Pod delivers compact 850nm illumination in a durable housing.
