EARMOR F101 Stealth Identification Beacon (Green / White/ IR) – Black

EARMOR F101 Stealth Position Beacon

F101 Stealth is an identification beacon designed for team coordination, position marking, and safe movement in low-light conditions. It features visible modes (green light and white flashing) as well as a true 940 nm IR mode, which is invisible to the naked eye but clearly visible through NVGs. The large rotary selector is easy to operate even while wearing gloves. Its rugged polymer housing with IPX8 waterproof protection withstands rain, mud, freezing temperatures, and full water immersion. Powered by a single CR123A battery, it delivers long operating time, making it suitable even for multi-day events. The beacon attaches to a tactical helmet using VELCRO, but it can also be mounted on backpacks or other gear with a hook-and-loop panel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the IR mode really invisible to the naked eye?

Yes. The F101 uses true 940 nm IR LEDs, unlike cheaper 850 nm versions that produce a visible red glow. Without NVGs it's virtually invisible, while remaining clearly visible through night vision.

What is this beacon used for in airsoft?

It's commonly used to identify teammates, squad leaders, medics, or vehicles during night games. In Mil-Sim events it's also used for unit identification under NVGs.

Can it handle rain and mud?

Absolutely. The IPX8 rating means it's waterproof even when submerged. Rain, mud, and wet conditions are no problem.

How is it mounted?

It attaches using VELCRO, allowing quick installation on helmets, vests, backpacks, or any compatible gear.

Is it worth buying over cheaper replicas?

Yes. The true 940 nm IR mode, rugged construction, and reliable waterproof performance make it far superior to cheaper beacons with fake IR or poor durability.
