Positive ID in the dark isn't optional. The NU06 MI is a purpose-built IR signal light designed for fast, unmistakable identification.

Four light sources (IR, blue, green, red) across 9 modes give you flexibility for IFF, rally points, team designation, or scene marking. Run different colors per element for instant visual distinction — no radio chatter required.

IR mode includes vibration feedback: single pulse for constant-on, double for flashing, long for off. You get tactile confirmation of your mode without breaking noise discipline, producing visible light, or taking your eyes off your sector.

For night jump operations, the NU06 MI gives you immediate jumper identification under canopy. Use green or red for visible marking, or IR when the stick is running NVGs. Run two — one front, one rear — and other jumpers can determine not just who you are but which direction you're moving. The ultra-light form factor and multiple mount options mean it adds essentially no weight or bulk to your helmet setup.

The ultra-mini form factor mounts directly to an ARC rail without interfering with NODs, comms, or headsets. Three additional brackets come included — magnetic hook-and-loop, curved helmet hook-and-loop, and MOLLE — so you can run it on a helmet, plate carrier, or chest rig depending on your SOP.

Single-button interface works with gloves. IP66 rating handles the weather. The built-in 250mAh rechargeable battery pushes up to 75 hours on a charge — well past a standard 72-hour mission window.

Who it's for:

  • Military and SOF operators who need reliable IFF and signal marking under NVGs

  • Skydivers on night jumps — mount one for canopy-level identification using visible colors, or run two to give other jumpers a directional read on your heading. IR mode available when jumping under NVGs.

  • Law enforcement running night operations or NVG-equipped tactical units

  • Serious milsim/airsoft players training with night vision setups

  • Preparedness-minded individuals building a functional NVG-capable kit

Who it's not for:

  • If you're looking for a general-purpose headlamp or flashlight, this isn't it — the NU06 MI is a signal light, not an illumination tool

  • If you don't own or plan to operate with night vision devices, the IR mode (which is the primary feature) won't be useful to you. The visible color modes still have applications for night jumps and signaling, but you'd be paying for capability you won't fully use.

  • If you need high-lumen visible light output, look at a dedicated tactical flashlight instead
