This document is intended to highlight critical design issues that a panel designer should understand when designing panels for NVIS applications. It is not intended to be a discussion of the benefits of one lighting technology versus another. See ARP 4168 for a more complete discussion of these lighting technologies.

This document covers design considerations for NVIS panels when utilizing incandescent, electroluminescent, or LED light sources that, when filtered, produce NVIS compatible panels that meeting the requirements specified in MIL-L-85762 or MIL-STD-3009.
