KIJI K1 VCSEL IR Laser Illuminator
Description
THE KIJI DOES NOT COME WITH A LIGHT MOUNT.
THE KIJI IS DIRECTLY COMPATIBLE WITH ARISAKA LIGHT MOUNTS AND OTHER SUREFIRE SCOUT MOUNTS.
KIJI? is a modular, Class 3R VCSEL-based infrared laser illuminator and uses the same VCSEL technology as the B. E. Meyers MAWL, to provide superior IR illumination in a small, user-programmable package. The KIJI K1-3° emits up to 150mw, and the KIJI K1-10° emits up to 350mw of infrared laser illumination. Both models feature four programmable power levels and include beam diffuser options to quickly adjust beam power and divergence.
As a modular system, KIJI supports a wide variety of use scenarios – from umbrella lighting interior structures to long range weapon-mounted applications, offering versatility in handheld, helmet, weapon, vehicle, or aircraft mounted applications. The KIJI K1-3° is ideal for mid-to-long range weapon mounted applications (such as use with a Clip-On Night Vision Device), while the KIJI K1-10° is suitable for both shorter range and CQB applications and is a terrific helmet mounted illuminator.
KIJI provides MAWL-like IR illumination in a compact package and affordable package, and uses a single CR123 battery and shares a its mounting footprint and accessory compatibility with most industry-standard “Scout Light” configurations, including the ability to use remote-switch compatible tailcaps like the UE00 and DS00 to interface with the TNVC TAPS and other remote switches.
Both KIJI K1 models contain four Power Levels (PLs) which may be accessed in a variety of activation configurations based on operational need and programmed to the user's preference. The KIJI K1-3° is capable of pushing 3 degrees of clean VCSEL IR illumination out past 400m through photonic barriers, and comes with a removable 10° beam diffuser, allowing the user to quickly and easily choose between varying outputs and beam divergences to match their needs. The KIJI K1-10° provides the same ability to defeat photonic barriers, but provides a wider spill, allowing the user greater situational awareness and illumination to over 175m, and comes with a 40° diffuser.
Because the KIJI uses a laser-based VCSEL illuminator, the KIJI has greatly reduced downrange visible signature compared to LED-based illuminators with similar capabilities while being compact, modular, and easily integrated into existing systems and is available to all customers, government and commercial. IT IS NOT RESTRICTED.
