LNVM® 16 mm – Ultra-Light Night Vision Monocular

From 162 g / 5.71 oz.

LNVM®: the essentials of analog night vision

The LNVM® (Light Night Vision Monocular) is a night vision monocular built around a simple idea: to offer the essentials of modern analog night vision in a lightweight, rugged, and accessible system.

Featuring a 16 mm NNVT tube—40% lighter and 25% more compact—the LNVM® is a versatile platform suited both to those discovering night vision and to experienced users seeking a reliable, high-performance system.

Its optimized configuration (with RPO optics) starts at 162 g / 5.71 oz.

Whether for nighttime observation, airsoft, security, night navigation, or outdoor activities, the LNVM® offers the fundamental benefits of analog night vision: a natural image, zero latency, low power consumption, and compatibility with the world's most widely used accessory ecosystem.

A monocular built for the field

The LNVM® prioritizes operational effectiveness and ease of use.

This versatility makes the LNVM® a device that can accompany users at every stage of their journey, from discovering night vision to the most advanced configurations.

Lightweight by design

Every gram saved on equipment worn continuously means greater comfort and less fatigue.

The LNVM® was designed to offer:

  • A minimal footprint.
  • Excellent weight distribution.
  • Reduced fatigue during long sessions.

This approach significantly improves the user experience during extended movement or activities requiring continuous observation.

Compatible with PVS-14 standards

One of the LNVM®'s main strengths is its compatibility with the industry's most widely used components.

Tube compatibility

By definition, the LNVM® 16 mm accepts 16 mm image intensifier tubes:

The system is compatible with:

  • Standard PVS-14 optics
  • RPO optics
  • Photonis Defense Boomslang optics
  • Noctis/Carson optics
  • Many PVS-14-standard accessories

This open architecture ensures long-term availability of spare parts and future upgrades.

Why choose a night vision monocular?

The monocular remains the preferred entry point into analog night vision.

Its advantages are numerous:

Preserves natural vision

One eye remains adapted to the natural environment while the other benefits from light amplification.

This setup facilitates:

  • Movement.
  • Reading equipment.
  • Adapting to changes in lighting.
