Infrared (IR) flashlights can be weapon mounted or handheld and emit light in the infrared spectrum.
This way, the IR light can support night vision devices on your rifle when there is not environmental light residue.
Commonly this light has a wavelength of either 850nm or 940nm.

850nm will offer a larger reach, but can be visible to certain animals like deer, rats or boar a shorter ranges.

940nm has a shorter reach (still several hundred meters) but is fully invisible.
