Military personnel and pilots flying in darkness are often concerned with preserving their night vision. It takes 30 to 45 minutes for the average eye to adapt to darkness and maximize night vision. Even a short burst of white, yellow, green or blue light “bleaches out” the rod cell photoreceptors in the eye and causes night blindness until the entire adaptation process can take place again. Light in the red spectrum does not cause this “bleaching out”, preventing night blindness and night vision fatigue. The units' red backlight is also much dimmer than a standard backlight, making it more difficult to detect with the naked eye in night operations. "Night-vision preserving backlight. Backlight incorporates optical filter to reduce overall brightness and minimize blue and green spectrum light to preserve night vision.  (Note:  This backlight appears soft greyish pink, not "red", and is still in the visible spectrum, so is not compatible with night-vision equipment.)"   This unit is ideal for numerous applications in the fire service: Wildland Firefighting Wildland firefighters can replace their entire belt weather kit with a cell-phone sized Kestrel Pocket Weather Meter.
