FliteLite Pro NVIS Green Pilot Finger Light | Military Grade Night Vision

What is the FliteLite Pro NVIS Green Pilot Finger Light used for?

It is a compact hands-free cockpit light that pilots wear on a finger to read charts, adjust radios, and run pre-flight checks during night flights and low-light conditions. Originally developed for F-22 Raptor missions, it gives precise illumination wherever you point without the inadequate lighting or dangerous glare of fixed cockpit sources.

Why is the light green, and what does NVIS mean?

NVIS refers to night vision imaging. The specialized green LED is night-vision compatible, so it preserves your natural night vision while delivering glare-free illumination. Green light helps keep your eyes adapted to darkness during night operations, where bright white light would wash out your view and reduce your ability to see outside the cockpit.

Does it remember my brightness setting between uses?

Yes. The adjustable brightness settings remember your last preference, so the light returns to your chosen level the next time you switch it on instead of resetting. This lets you dial in comfortable, glare-free illumination once and rely on it for charts, radios, and instruments throughout night and low-light flight operations.

What batteries does it use, and are they included?

It runs on silver-oxide batteries, which are included so the light is ready to use straight out of the package. A built-in low-battery indicator warns you before the cells fail, so you are not left without illumination during flight. The long-lasting power suits cockpits, hangars, and flight lines.

What is the 10-minute auto-off feature?

The light includes a battery-saving automatic shutoff that turns it off after about ten minutes. If you set it down or forget to switch it off, the auto-off conserves battery life so the light is ready when you next need it. You simply turn it back on to resume use.

How does it attach to your hand, and can it be used with gloves?

It secures to your finger or flight glove with a Velcro One-Wrap strap that stays put during turbulence and demanding flight operations. The weather-resistant design works equally well with or without gloves, making it practical for cold-weather flying, military crews, and anyone who needs both hands free in the cockpit.

What makes it military grade, and what is the F-22 connection?

It was originally developed for F-22 Raptor missions, giving it battle-tested reliability that general aviation pilots, flight instructors, and military crews trust for mission-critical illumination. The rugged, drop-proof construction is built to withstand the demanding environment of cockpits, hangars, and flight lines where dependable lighting matters most.

Is the light durable and weather resistant?

Yes. It uses rugged, drop-proof construction with a weather-resistant body designed for the demanding environment of cockpits, hangars, and flight lines. This compact, lightweight build holds up to rough handling while staying easy to carry, so it keeps working reliably whether you are flying, performing pre-flight checks, or working on the ramp.

Is this a good gift for a pilot, and who is it for?

Yes. It suits student pilots building night flying confidence, seasoned aviators seeking reliable aircraft lighting, flight instructors, and military crews. Its compact, professional-grade performance also makes it a popular aviation gift. The hands-free design helps anyone who needs precise, glare-free light in the cockpit while keeping both hands free to work.
