| Purchased a new pvs-14 with manual gain. I have noticed when standing in the dark and looking at houses with lights on inside or outdoor lighting around 50 and 100 yards away... The lighted images will show twice. Best way to describe it would be as if the lights are being reflected. So I have the original image in the tube, plus what appears to be a rejected image of just the lights underneath (I hope this makes sense). It happens regardless of whether or not the gain is high or low. The addition of a strong IR light gets rid of the image. Thanks for your input |

I have a similar rig and I get something similar, in that the colors change with artificial light blazing. I think it has something to do with the type of light, being seen through the type of glass, and the angle of your line of sight to it. Lotsa stuff going on there! I run a sacrificial lens on front and Wilcox filter on rear. With both eyes open I sometimes get this psychedelic effect like that.
Don't know but I wonder if it has something to do with the increased sensitivity of the newer units, over what you ran in the military. My new unit is totally different from my old mil-spec unit. And the Wilcox filter puts a different hue on everything (which I like). |
