Night Vision Device PVS-14 / L3 Unfilmed White Phosphor (Carson Housing)
The PVS-14 L3 Unfilmed is a premium night-vision monocular built around reference-grade L3 Unfilmed White Phosphor image intensifier tubes installed in a military-spec Carson PVS-14 housing.
The MX10160UW tubes, produced under aviation-grade contracts (series 1597 and related), deliver a minimum FOM of 2366+, exceptionally high sensitivity, low noise, and the signature “crystal-clear” L3 image.
This is one of the most technologically advanced and combat-proven PVS-14 configurations available, meeting the strict standards of U.S. military and aviation programs.
🟦 We are a team of veterans
We have seen how L3 Unfilmed tubes perform in real combat.
When we say that this PVS-14 meets the standards of professional units, we say it from firsthand experience.
Unfilmed tubes provide stable, extremely clean imagery, outperform in low-light conditions, and withstand sudden light exposure better than many other tubes.
