Lahoux LV-81 Echo HF Image Playback GREEN

Lahoux LV-81 Echo HF Image Display GREEN
With a long focal length of 80mm, this device is particularly suitable for observation at greater distances. The 34mm objective lens, coated with a special AR coating, ensures high transmission values and an incomparably sharp image. The high-contrast lenses and the image intensifier tube are individually shock-resistant mounted. The LV81 is equipped with an auto shut-off after 1 hour. The BKA determination notice is available.

Lahoux night vision devices are characterized by very good image quality, precise manufacturing, robustness, and reliability. Only shock-resistant Photonis image intensifier tubes are used. Planning, manufacturing, and assembly take place entirely in the Netherlands.

Please observe compliance with national hunting laws!

SHOOTING WITH AMBIENT LIGHT
German Hunting Journal, Issue 8/2020, Pages: 26-35, Author: Norbert Klups

… The two models from JSA and Lahoux with the Photonis Echo tubes provide a clearer image and also allow for a higher magnification of the target optics before strong noise sets in. The Lahoux model was also slightly sharper at the edges. The difference was even more pronounced with the target standing in the forest shadow. With the two models featuring Echo tubes, the outline of the boar was still clearly visible, while it became critical with the cheaper models. Shooting would still have been possible, but identifying was no longer feasible. The JSA was also at the end of its capabilities here, while the Lahoux still revealed more details. …

Summary: … Those who want more must also pay more, significantly more! JSA and Lahoux are visibly superior with the Photonis Echo tubes, possessing a brighter and less noisy image. They also allow for a higher magnification of the target optics. … The direct comparison of the black-and-white tube of the JSA with the green tube of the Lahoux showed that while the Onyx tube is more eye-friendly during longer observations, the green tube provides a slightly more detailed image. The choice here is largely a matter of taste. Those who often have to deal with wild boar in forest shadows can hardly avoid a high-quality tube. …

Those who often have to deal with boars in forest shadows can hardly avoid a high-quality tube – at least as long as infrared illuminators are prohibited. …
