Israel: Meprolight launches the new Sting Lumina tactical laser system

Meprolight

The Israeli company Meprolight, a subsidiary of the SK Group and a globally recognized leader in military and security electro-optics, has announced the launch of the Sting Lumina, a compact dual-wavelength laser pointer incorporating an infrared (IR) illuminator. Developed in close collaboration with special forces units, the new system is designed to enhance operational effectiveness in complex tactical scenarios, particularly in close-quarters combat (CQB) and discreet nighttime operations.

Built to withstand the harshest operational conditions, the Sting Lumina features a robust architecture suited for high-recoil and large-caliber weapon platforms, including machine guns. The device offers either a red or green visible laser, enabling rapid target acquisition in close-combat environments where reaction speed is critical.

For missions requiring discretion and stealth, the system integrates an infrared laser pointer along with an IR illuminator featuring an adjustable beam diameter, optimized for urban environments and nighttime CQB engagements. This dual capability—visible and infrared—provides operators with increased tactical flexibility, allowing them to adapt to the rapidly evolving threats of modern warfare.

The Sting Lumina also incorporates internal safety mechanisms that prevent accidental switching to high-intensity modes or unintended visible emission—an essential safeguard during sensitive operations.

The device can be activated either via a remote pressure switch or a dedicated top-mounted button, ensuring smooth operation under operational stress. Fully compliant with MIL-STD military standards, the system is qualified for extended use in extreme conditions.
