What’s Different? Typically teams move much slower Why? Vision impaired Seeing Black and White Mostly Simply not comfortable Is there a solution? Not total, but workable Teams need to be especially careful in working at night. There are obvious limitations.

What do we do? Wear reflective vests Use Red Lens in Flashlight Avoid especially dangerous areas Only send experienced personnel to the field at night Wait until daytime if necessary - Use the Night for planning and crew rest There are several things that you can do to help yourself though.

Why use a red lens? As light decreases, the sensing tasks are passed over from the cones to the rods of the eyes. The sensitivity of the rods involves a pigment called visual purple (rhodopsin) which is bleached in bright light and takes time to re-constitute Because the rods are less sensitive to red light, we use red lenses in our lights to keep our limited night vision

Why else should we use a red lens? It takes on average 40+ minutes to regain your night vision Younger people tend to adapt quicker than adults to the dark

Be careful out there!
