The ND5 Long Distance Laser Locator is a high-powered, hand held laser light built for civilian use. The design integrates a state of the art micro Green Laser Pump with a hand controlled, 9 lens Linear Optical Collimator. One hand, thumb control quickly adjusts laser beam diameter and illumination intensity. The high power laser beam may be collimated down and concentrated to cast an intense, highly visible beam of light able to be seen at distances up to 5 miles for signaling or search and rescue operations. Adjusting the ND5's collimator to a more open setting increases the diameter of the beam to fully illuminate objects up to 400 yards.
The ND5 Laser Locator light utilizes a proprietary 20MW Green Laser which operates at 532NM with an output life of up to 8 hours using two, 3V lithium batteries. This is the easiest light for the human eye to see and causes no typical "night blindness" associated with standard or high intensity flash lights. Thus the ND5 provides illumination completely suitable for night work with the least amount of eye adjustment.
The Laser Genetics ND5 Laser Locator Light uses military "laser designator" technology. Laser diode pumps are collimated to produce "coherent light" which loses the least amount of its illumination power as it travels to the target. The ND5 nearly eliminates light loss due to the "flooding effect" typical of most flashlights. This enables objects to be illuminated or "painted" are great distances. The ND5 can be paired with high power optics such as spotting scopes, binoculars and rifle scopes to see objects at extreme distances.
