EDs Used in NVIS: consumption Value to Reach $83.75 Million by 2026

The consumption value of LEDs used in NVIS compatible lighting, by the USA Military reached an estimated $62.53 million in 2019, and the value is forecast to increase at an annual rate of 4.26 percent, to reach $83.75 million in the year 2026.

A night vision device (NVD) comprises of an Infrared (IR) image intensifier tube in a rigid casing, commonly used by US military forces. Infrared light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 0.7 and 300 micrometers, which equates to a frequency range between approximately 1 and 430 terahertz (THz).

LED-based Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compliant lighting is usually available in six colors: NVIS blue, NVIS green A, NVIS green B, NVIS white, NVIS yellow and NVIS red. The NVIS blue, NVIS green A and NVIS white display chromaticity coordinates are within the areas bounded by a circle for blue, green A and white and a circle and the spectrum locus for green B, when set to 0.1 foot-lamberts.

The NVIS yellow and NVIS red display chromaticity coordinates are within the area bounded by a circle and the spectrum locus when set to 15.0 foot-lamberts.
