Performance
under Various
Light Conditions
Complete Darkness
Your Night Vision device works by
amplifying available natural light.
In complete darkness, with no
available natural light, you cannot
see without the use of the Infrared
Illuminator (IR). The IR works like
a flashlight, but the light beam
projected out is invisible to human
and animal eyes.
Half-Moon
A
half-moon
provides
a
substantial amount of ambient
light to be amplified by the internal
Electronic
Intensifier
Tubes.
Without the assistance of the IR,
you can recognize a man-sized
object about 300 yards away.
Starlight (no moon)
A starlite night provides the
minimal amount of ambient light
to allow viewing unassisted by
the
IR.
Without
the
IR
illuminated, a man-sized object
can be recognized about 200
yards away. The IR will greatly
improve target recognition.
Urban Environment
(with man-made light sources)
Streetlights and headlights will
generally
not
damage
the
Electronic Intensifier Tube, if a
safe
distance
away.
As
a
precaution, do not point the
device directly into a light source.
At a distance of more than 30
yards, most common man-made
light sources will generally not
damage the device.
