I am sure you know that most displays can be automatically set to switch to night mode, with the clock at sunset I think but I find that automatic switch confusing because the night view mode is quite different than just turning down the brightness for the screen for the daylight mode _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Della Barba, Joe Sent: March 14, 2014 8:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stus-List Handheld spotlights + binocs I'll have to look. They were a birthday present and were whatever the top line West Marine binoculars were at the time. Any high quality 7x50 set with good coated lenses will make something you can just maybe barely see stand out plain as day. Obviously rain, fog, pitch dark, and looking into moonlight will defeat them. Some people think "moonlight = good", but only if it is from behind you! What I need to do is train my dogs to point and bark at unlit markers. I asked our vet why they can run full speed in the woods in the dark and he said dogs and cats see about as well as a human with night vision goggles on. Speaking off night vision, I rarely use any kind of spotlight. I do much better with making sure my night vision stays sharp. I have red LED lights for everything - there is NO white light allowed after dark. Something I learned when I was flying out of an unlit grass field is to look "off center" and kind of scan besides what you are looking for. Human vision is much more light sensitive off-center than straight ahead. PS - Another night vision killer is the various plotter-computer video displays. Make sure you can turn it down! I have seen powerboats go by at night with the helmsman's face lit up bright as day by all the screens that he was looking at. I doubt he could see the bow!
