What type of light source can be harmful to a Night Vision Device?
Your night vision device is designed to be used to assist your viewing in the dark. It may be harmful and will likely damage the device if you use it during the daytime or whenever there is sufficient light to see the object. Also keep in mind that strong direct light, such as projectors, car headlamps, strong flashlights and so on, may be harmful to your night vision unit if you direct you device at the source of these intense lights.
A. Night Vision devices are designed for use in the dark. It may be harmful and can damage the device if you use it during the daytime or in other very bright situations. Keep in mind that strong direct light, such as projectors, car headlamps, strong flashlights, and so on, may be harmful to your night vision unit if you direct your device at the source of these intense lights. Most scopes have simple turn off overload circuits, but some have more sophisticated and separate light sensing mechanisms. The binocular devices do have on/off switches that require the user to remember to turn off the unit. Some level of “buzzing” sound is quite normal and is intended to be useful in remembering to turn off these units when done using them. The image of a night vision device will not be as sharp as that of a daylight binocular. This is due largely to the image being generated on a phosphor screen. Black spots may be visible in the image. This comes as a natural process of manufacturing the in

With this said, Bushnell Night Vision devices have electronic protection against such damage. Most of these are simple turn off overload circuits, but some have more sophisticated and separate light sensing mechanisms.
