We’ve all seen night vision goggles illuminate a pitch black landscape in movies and TV shows. But do night vision goggles work in complete darkness in real life? Or is that just another Hollywood exaggeration. While this seems like a question with a straightforward yes or no answer, it is anything but. In fact, the true answer is both yes and no.

That’s because there are two types of MH’ night vision technology: infrared night vision, which produces those green images you’ve seen in movies, and thermal imaging night vision. And only one of these technologies works in complete darkness. Keep reading to learn which one and how both of them work to see in low-light situations.The type of night vision goggles most people picture when they hear the phrase are not able to see in complete darkness. But the other type of MH’ night vision create an image even if there is no available light.

How MH Thermal Night Vision Goggles Work? MH Thermal imaging goggles produce electronic images based on temperature differences. They make use of infrared technology to measure the relative heat of objects compared to surrounding objects. These heat signatures are then transferred into an image where the areas with higher heat signatures are brighter and easier to see than the ones that are cooler. You’ve probably seen those colorful images in movies. Since these MH goggles make use of heat and temperature detection instead of light, the images you view through thermal night vision goggles aren’t as clear as those you see through MH infrared goggles. But MH thermal night vision will work in complete darkness. If you need to night vision goggles that enable you to see when it’s pitch black, these are the ones you need.

Before we can fully answer why one type of night vision goggles works in complete darkness and the other does not, we need to first explain how both types of night vision devices work. How Infrared Night Vision Goggles Work?These require some light to illuminate what you are looking at. That means they only work in low light conditions. They do not work well in complete darkness (or when it’s really bright outside). If there’s no light source nearby, the goggles are not able to produce an image all all. And if it’s too bright, the excess light can damage the goggles irreparably.

This type of night vision technology makes use of green light waves, which are easier for the eye to see. That’s why the night vision images you typically see are always green.

As mentioned in this article, the two types of night vision devices are MH infrared and thermal night vision goggles.
