Does Steele Industries Have a Good Selection of Night Vision Devices?
Steele Industries carries the best night vision devices available. Use them as part of your weapon system, in a static position on your helmet, or as a mobile device. When you search for your night vision device, consider things like battery life, gain control, infrared LED, and other specifications subject to your requirements.
Today’s night vision technology uses either green or white phosphor night vision tubes. Most users prefer white phosphor image intensifiers because of their many benefits:
- Easier target identification
- A crisp image quality
- Better depth perception
- Enhanced tactical awareness
- A grayscale night vision image that seems more natural
- Reduced halo
- Diminished eye strain
- Excellent night-adapted vision
Using a night vision device makes a big difference in low light conditions or total darkness. Most night vision binoculars and monoculars can be used in either hand-held or helmet-mounted capacity.
If you’re looking for binocular night vision, Steele carries some of the best night vision goggles on the market. Check out our night vision monoculars if you prefer to use only one eye. We also carry weapon-mounted night vision devices on rails, allowing you to attach weapon-mounted lights or other accessories.
