According to the report, soldiers navigating tight, low-light environments now have a new tool for quick, precise target engagement.
The report stated that Israel’s Meprolight has rolled out the Sting Lumina, a dual-wavelength laser with an integrated infrared illuminator designed for close-quarters and covert operations. It said that it is built to handle high-recoil, large-caliber weapons, including machine guns, and that the device offers red and green lasers for rapid target acquisition.
The report also stated that its integrated infrared pointer and adjustable infrared flashlight let operators mark and track targets discreetly in darkness, minimizing the chance of detection.
Golan Kalimi, senior vice president at Meprolight, said that the Sting Lumina reflects their commitment to advancing electro-optical systems shaped by real-world defense requirements and long-term security trends. He added that it reflects how they translate frontline operational insight into scalable, reliable systems, reinforcing their role as a trusted partner to defense and security forces worldwide.
The report said that Sting Lumina features an ambidextrous control, allowing operators to use either a control cable or a top-mounted button for steady handling under pressure. It said that it is an intuitive zeroing mechanism that aligns both laser channels simultaneously, cutting setup time while maintaining accuracy across visible and infrared modes.
The report added that it is built-in safeguards that prevent accidental activation of high-power or visible lasers, keeping operators concealed and safe in the field.
In addition, the system reportedly meets military standards and runs on a standard battery, enabling up to six hours of operation.
