Illuminate the Night, Expand Your Horizons

Designed specifically for civilian use, this night vision device enables users to observe their surroundings in environments devoid of artificial light, relying on the faint illumination provided by starlight or moonlight. Whether for outdoor adventures or night-time surveillance, the Candle Dragon Night Vision Device ensures that the night remains clear and navigable.



Key Feature: Second-Generation Low-Light Image Intensifier

At the heart of the Zhulong Night Vision Device lies its most compelling feature—a second-generation low-light image intensifier. This advanced technology bridges a significant gap in the civilian market, offering high-performance night vision capabilities typically reserved for military applications. Unlike its military counterparts, which often prioritize reliability over user convenience, the Candle Dragon is tailored for civilian needs, setting a new standard in user-friendly, high-performance night vision equipment.



Innovative Design: Seamless Integration and Portability

Traditional night vision devices often suffer from cumbersome designs, with external batteries and switches compromising their usability. Zhulong addresses these issues with a sleek, integrated design. All key components—including the battery, rotary switch, objective lens, image intensifier, and eyepiece—are housed within a single, cylindrical structure. The result is a smooth, ergonomic form factor, free from protrusions, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip during use. The addition of magnetic charging and streamlined wiring further enhances the user experience, making the device as intuitive as it is effective.



Technical Specifications: Compact Yet Powerful

Despite its compact design, the monocular device delivers exceptional performance. With a 40° field of view and 1× magnification, the device measures just Φ40mm×110mm and weighs no more than 280g. Even in conditions where moonlight and starlight are absent, it can reliably identify human-sized targets at distances up to 100 meters. Constructed from durable aluminum alloy, the device balances lightweight portability with rugged durability, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of frequent use.
