The NITECORE CI7 is a cutting-edge tactical flashlight engineered for night vision hunting, law enforcement, and stealth operations. This dual-output flashlight delivers an intense 2500 lumens of white light, capable of illuminating distances over 300 yards. With a simple twist of the flashlight head, the CI7 seamlessly transforms into a powerful 940nm infrared (IR) illuminator with a 7000mW output—completely invisible to the human eye but highly effective when paired with night vision or thermal imaging devices. This combination of visible and infrared lighting makes the CI7 an indispensable tool for a wide range of tactical and outdoor applications, including scouting, search and rescue, and military missions.
Designed with tactical precision in mind, the CI7 features an intuitive one-handed operation system. A tactical tail switch allows for both momentary and constant activation of either the white or IR light, while the improved Strobe Ready switch gives instant access to turbo or strobe modes and cycles through brightness settings. This user-friendly configuration ensures that you can get the right kind of light exactly when you need it, all while preventing accidental activation in high-stakes situations. The CI7 also offers selectable operating modes—Daily Mode with direct access to turbo and five brightness levels, and Tactical Mode with instant strobe and the same adjustable output levels.
At the heart of the CI7 are four CREE XP-G3 S3 LEDs for the white beam and four SST-10-IR LEDs for the infrared beam. The white LEDs produce a peak beam intensity of 19,500 candela and a maximum throw of 305 yards. The IR LEDs emit a 940nm beam perfect for covert use, providing tactical visibility without compromising your position. Switching between IR and white light is easy and mechanical—simply pull and rotate the flashlight head.
Built to withstand the demands of field use, the CI7 is constructed from aero-grade aluminum alloy with a military-grade hard-anodized finish. It features a rigid double-layer tube design, electronic reverse polarity protection, and optical lenses with double-sided scratch-resistant coating. The flashlight is waterproof to IP68 standards, making it submersible up to 2 meters, and impact resistant to 1 meter. Its integrated Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) module ensures consistent performance by intelligently managing heat output.
Other features include a battery life indicator integrated into the tail cap, which also displays battery voltage, mode memory for user convenience, and a high-efficiency constant current circuit that provides stable output for up to 130 hours. Whether you need intense brightness, invisible infrared capability, or reliable performance in harsh environments, the NITECORE CI7 delivers with uncompromising precision and durability.
