Does light make Night Vision shut off?

If you’re new or thinking about getting into night vision, you might have heard that looking into a light makes the night vision shut off. The short answer is no. The night vision you see in the video is an issued pair of PVS-14s and have seen a lot in its life. All that happens is the area where the light is coming from gets very intense and areas that have less light get drowned out. When this happens, it can make walking difficult because now you can’t see what’s in front of you at your feet.
