SomoGear NGAL/LA23 Visible & IR Laser with VCSEL Illuminator

The SomoGear NGAL is a rugged, ultra-compact aiming laser system designed for tactical training, airsoft, and night vision use. It features co-aligned visible and IR lasers, a focusable VCSEL IR illuminator, and an included ND filter and diffuser for reduced-output training applications.

NGAL Illuminator Key Features

• Brand: SOMOGEAR

• Zeroable aiming laser
• Co-aligned visible and IR lasers, with less than 10 cm of offset at 30 meters
• Focusable VCSEL IR illuminator with diffuser cover
• 288° rotating focus ring, adjustable from spot to flood
• ND filter and diffuser included for reduced-output training use
• Reinforced, epoxy-sealed top activation button
• Rain- and splash-resistant design
• The Vis-Override function requires the optional Vis-Override Pressure Switch, sold separately.
• IR illuminator max flood angle: 8.9°
  At 30 meters, maximum flood beam diameter is approximately Ø4.6 meters.

Important Notes

• When mounting on the rail, do not over-tighten the mounting screw, as excessive torque may affect zero retention.
• To securely fasten the aiming laser mount, we recommend using around 20 in-lbs (≈2.3 Nm) with blue Loctite.
• To securely fasten the switch mount, we recommend using around 4.5 in-lbs (≈0.5 Nm).
• With the ND filter and diffuser installed, output is reduced to approximately 14–15% of normal power.
• Use caution when operating in high-output mode.
• Do not aim the laser directly into eyes or directly at night vision devices.
• Use a new 3V CR123A battery and install it with correct polarity.
