Which IR Do I Need? Turbo IR vs. Normal IR
Turbo IR vs. Normal IR (Quick Guide)
All Hyperion lights come with Turbo IR only. We do not offer normal IR for Hyperion models.
Turbo IR provides:
-
A tighter, more focused beam
-
Longer identification distances
-
A clearer digital night‑vision image
850nm is always brighter and reaches farther than 940nm, whether Turbo or Normal IR.
Which Lights Offer Both IR Types?
We no longer sell the Coyote Cannon, 50LRX, or 66LRX lights. However, we still offer IR modules for customers who already own those models.
The 30LRX is the only current light that supports both:
-
Normal IR
-
Turbo IR
All Hyperion models are Turbo IR only.
Performance Highlights
-
Turbo IR allows smaller lights to reach distances normally achieved by much larger models.
-
The 30LRX with Turbo IR reaches distances similar to larger discontinued models that used normal IR.
-
Hyperion IR 850nm models outperform all previous‑generation lights, even when those older lights use Turbo IR.
Runtime Differences
Turbo IR
-
~2 hours of runtime
-
Maintains near‑full brightness for almost the entire battery cycle
Normal IR
-
~2.5 hours of runtime
-
Gradually dims to about 60% brightness by the 2‑hour mark
Because of this, Turbo IR provides a longer usable runtime for most hunters.
Simple Takeaway
If you want maximum distance and the best digital night‑vision image, choose Turbo IR. All Hyperion lights already include it.
