Overview of the Cyalume IR ChemLight 6" 3-Hour | 9-97520PF

The Cyalume IR ChemLight 6" 3-Hour (9-97520PF) is a 10-pack of infrared chemical light sticks built for night vision work. Each stick gives you 3 hours of 360 degree infrared light that only night vision devices can see.

You need to mark a teammate, a landing zone, or a cleared room without lighting up your position. A visible glow stick gives you away. This IR light stick does the job quietly. No batteries, no switches, no maintenance.

Intended Users

Military units use IR ChemLights to mark friendly positions, vehicles, and landing or drop zones during night operations.

Airsoft players, hunters, and preppers who own night vision use them for night training and covert campsite marking.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Cyalume IR ChemLight 6" 3-Hour

Can you see a Cyalume IR ChemLight without night vision?

No. The Cyalume IR ChemLight gives off infrared light that the naked eye cannot see. You need night vision goggles, a monocular, or another IR-sensitive device to see its glow.


How long does the Cyalume 9-97520PF IR ChemLight last?

Each stick glows for about 3 hours after activation, according to Cyalume. Unopened sticks have a four-year shelf life from the date of manufacture when kept sealed in their foil wrappers.

What is the difference between the 3-hour and 8-hour IR ChemLight?

The 8-hour IR ChemLight, part 9-17040PF, glows more than twice as long. Both are 6 inches long and come 10 per pack. The 3-hour version suits shorter missions, training, and drills.

Should I buy an IR ChemLight or a visible color ChemLight?

Buy IR when you need to mark people or places without being seen by the naked eye. Visible ChemLights in green, red, and other colors are better for safety, area marking, and emergency kits anyone can see.

How do you activate a Cyalume ChemLight?

Remove the stick from its foil wrapper, bend it until you feel it snap, then shake it to mix the chemicals. The light starts right away and needs no batteries or switches.
