IR Night Vision Goggles

IR Night Vision Goggles have become very affordable for most people these days. Infra-red or IR is what you might call the third level of night vision technology. Level one would be ‘passive starlight. This relies on large objective lenses to take in as much of the available light as possible and concentrating it to create a viewable image. A step further is ‘active starlight’ which uses electronics to make even greater use of the available light.

Obviously, both of these technologies rely on there being at least some light to work with. In complete darkness, or close to it, they are useless. This is where ‘active infra-red’ comes in. This makes use of a different part of the light spectrum that is normally outside of the limits of human vision. Most living things emit infra-red light enabling them to be seen using low end devices.

Further up the scale are devices that have their own infra red light source to illuminate the landscape and let you find your way around. The price and quality of the equipment determines the usable range of these. There is another drawback with them. They allow you to see, but also to be seen by some animals. If your intended use is hunting, your intended prey might have seen you and fled, before you are in range to see them.

Also, the electronics requires power. For a long night in the country, make sure you have an ample supply of batteries. You may be OK with a spotting scope for occasional use, but if you are wearing IR Night Vision Goggles for an extended period, it could become more of an issue. The price range of these devices now starts at a couple of hundred dollars, but you can still spend several thousand, depending on your needs and your means.

You need to decide what you are willing to pay and then check out the specifications of the different devices to be sure that you are getting what you need. Take a look what is available in IR Night Vision Goggles and other night vision devices at Amazon.com
