Seitz Scientific Industries Inc. is the original manufacturer of the Fingerlight. Only a Seitz “Lite” is authorized by the U.S. Army for use in Army aircraft because only our Fingerlights meet all 17 specifications outlined in the original R&D contract (Contract No. DAAK60-90-C-0042).

NVIS White is your best choice, followed by soft white, for a light that will protect your central night vision and provide a full spectrum of light. Green and Blue also protects your central night vision, but blues and greens disappear within this color of light – something for a pilot to consider prior to use. Red will protect your peripheral night vision, but not central vision as efficiently as the soft white, blue and green. Red lettering, road markers or images on charts will also not be visible with red light, another consideration for the pilot to consider when making a color choice.

MIL-STD-3009 was developed by the Department of Defense in February 2001 and superseded MIL-L-85762A. It specifies that NVIS White for crew cockpit and utility lighting. NVIS Green A is grand fathered into the cockpit for certain applications, but not for new applications.

Other Aviation Products of Interest

Cap Lights are similar to Mike Lites. They are a good source to mount a light onto a “tankers” microphone boom (M138). However, these are great for hunting and fishing as well. Ever tried to tie a fishing lure at night and hold a flashlight? How about walking into or out of that favorite hunting spot in the dark. Very handy having light to see and be seen and have your hands free! Great for mechanics too.
