Description
Diode Dynamics SS3 IR LED Pods put infrared light where your night vision needs it while the truck stays dark to anyone watching.
A white light bar washes out a night vision image and announces you to everything on the hillside. These pods flood the scene with infrared that only your optics pick up, so a lease road, a fence line or a blacked-out trail shows up clean in the goggles or scope while nobody else sees a thing. The Combo optic blends a wide spread close to the bumper with reach down the trail, so one pair covers both the ground in front of you and what is coming.
850nm or 940nm: 850nm gives a brighter image on most night vision devices but shows a faint red glow at the lens. 940nm sits further outside human vision, so there is almost no telltale glow, but many digital devices see it more dimly. Check what your device is tuned for, then pick Sport for compact output or Pro for more reach.
Developed through military field testing and built in the USA, it is a purpose-built IR tool, not a white pod with a dark lens.
Features
- Two output modes on separate wires: the red wire runs high IR and the blue wire runs low IR, so you pick the right level from the cab
- Works with a compatible dimmer to dial output down for close-range work without blooming your optics
- IR-filtering Lexan lens blocks visible light leaking from the emitters to keep the visible signature low
- OSRAM infrared emitters chosen for IR output, not converted white LEDs
- Rated with radiometric data in mW/sr, the way infrared output is actually measured, instead of a lumen number that means nothing for IR

Installation
Installation Time: 30-60 minutes
Tools Needed: 1/2 in wrench, 5/32 in Allen key, basic wiring tools
In the box (per pod): SS3 IR LED pod, standard SS3 mounting bracket and hardware, 4-pin DT-style pigtail with three 10 cm bare leads
Wiring (9-16 V):
• Red wire: High IR power
• Blue wire: Low IR power
• Black wire: Ground
Connect the leads to a properly fused switch or control system. Both modes support PWM and variable-voltage dimming.
Aiming: mount the pod with the bracket hardware slightly loose, aim the Combo beam while looking through your night vision device, then tighten.
Safety: IR output is invisible but can still cause eye injury. Never look into an operating IR light, even through an optical device.
