Thales Angénieux LUCIE

The Thales Angénieux LUCIE is a night vision device developed and designed by Thales in France in 1996. It is categorized as a LPNVG (Low Profile Night Vision Goggle) bi-ocular system and has been used since then by British, French and German armed forces.

 LUCIE are usually equipped with Gen2+ Photonis XD4 or XR5 MX-10130 format image tubes, in rare cases a Gen3 is installed OEM. The eyepieces are by design in a fixed IPD setting due to folded optical internals offering a wide but short eye-box for universal fit. Dioptric adjustment goes from -5 to +3 with an eye-relief around 17mm. The system is powered by a single AA battery 1,5V or 3,6V offering 60/100hrs operation time at 20°C. The goggles feature a morse signaling IR LED press button illuminator and can be switched continuously by the main power button. The housing features an auto-shutoff sensor turning the goggles automatically off after 30 seconds if the environmental lights are brighter than 10lux.
