I am in need of some night vision goggles for indoor use. Need to see approx 20m, for a work related project. Ideally, must not have any external lights/ LEDs. Essentially, I don't need binocular ones for hunting etc. which seem quite prevalent.

Any recommendations or pointers?

Have you asked for good suppliers of grit bins and pick-axe handles on separate threads?

TBH, Amazon are probably getting a bit worried about me. Last week I bought 20m industrial velcro, 250 metres of gaffer tape, 40 blindfolds and 50m of blackout material!!

Can't quite reveal what I am doing.....yet.

If you want no leds you will want an image intensifier type but they are more expensive than the IR type, you could use a FLIR camera as they are getting cheaper these days.

Don't night vision goggles rely on starlight? If so they won't work indoors.

i would think you’ll pay a fortune for image intensifier/ thermal that can work well indoors. surely would be much cheaper to use IR floods (so the place is lit up) and IR goggles

The goggles work in two ways, either using available light or with Infrared LEDs which can give off a faint glow.

If you do want some that wont use FLIR LEDs you could consider trying to run with Infrared Cyalumes or plugin in infrared lights to give you some help so as you can see but others can’t.

The issue is more so what you are trying to do. Different setups will give you different capabilities as far as field of view, depth perception and quality or image/clarity.

Just to conclude the thread and reveal what we were up to. We decided not to use any night vision equipment.

We were product testing some emergency lighting product on an aircraft. We needed our floor path marking system to guide 30 people to the emergency exits on the aircraft within a set time period. The aircraft had to be in pitch darkness and the participants completely naive to the test. Thankfully, we passed the test.

I decided all the night vision equipment would probably be too cumbersome, so we relied on our product and a bit of dark adaption for us to observe everyone.
