Night vision equipment has many applications across a variety of industries and pursuits, including the military, law enforcement, game hunting, and more. Steele Industries sells night vision products for military operators, as well as those working in surveillance, search-and-rescue, and a host of other fields.
Unlike comparable thermal scopes, many of these products include such features as white edge detect, black edge detect, full-screen modes, the ability to identify heat signatures, and those that provide users wide range mobility and detection capability in the dark.
However, seeing halos (known as “the halo effect”) may sometimes occur when using some night vision devices.
Here are a few things to know about the Halo effect:
What Is Halo Night Vision?
In terms of lighting and night vision, the halo effect is the result of diffraction. To the naked eye, diffraction appears as a ring around the light. It can sometimes be unpleasant or even dangerous, mainly when performing activities like driving at night.
If you have good vision, halos may commonly appear when you look at a very bright light. However, certain conditions make halos more likely to occur, including glaucoma, cataracts, and dry eyes.
Are There Ways To Prevent Seeing Halos?
There are several ways to prevent or mitigate the halo effect, including the prevention and correction of vision issues. This includes avoiding exposure to bright lights altogether.
Some commonly recommended ways to prevent certain vision issues include:
- Eating a diet that contains nutrients that promote good eye health
- Wearing high-end, anti-reflective sunglasses, a hat, or both while outdoors
- Taking care to avoid looking at such objects as the sun, headlights, and other light sources
You may also notice halos while using a device for night vision. If you want more image clarity, consider purchasing devices with superior optics, including those with N Vision Optics Halo LR and advanced polarity modes.
