Mike Lite

Only an SSI “Mike Lite” is authorized by the U.S. Army for use in Army aircraft because they are the only Mike Lite that meets ALL 20 Specifications outlined in the original R&D contract

*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MIL-STD-3009 was developed by the Department of Defense in February 2001 and superseded MIL-L-85762A.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.

SSI-MK1 Mount Kit

Authorized for use by the U.S. Military.

Mounts Mike Lites to a variety of aviator microphones. Comes with an assortment of clips to attach the Mike Lite to all but the thinnest of mike booms. Of course like all of our products it is guaranteed to work. NOTE: This item not required for military helmets using the standard M-87 or the M-162 Tempest microphones such as the SPH-4 and HGU-56 helmets. All Mike Lites already include necessary hardware to attach to these standard helmets. However, if your unit has replaced the standard microphone with something else, then this MK-1 kit is probably needed. If in doubt, give us a call.
