  PERFORMANCE

  Standard green and amber Aiming Post Lamps produce
  330 µL and 160 µL respectively enabling visibility with
  the naked eye at up to 200 m in starlight conditions when
  viewed directly through the lens. The lens limits the angle
  of viewing to 7.5° to ensure security. Lamp output is not
  affected by temperature, humidity or altitude.

  TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Mortar alignment: using alternate green and orange
  Lamps, a series of mortars can be aligned by sitting a
  Lamp in front of each weapon on a reference bearing.
  Used with a Dial Sight, mortar alignment can be
  accurately maintained.
• Field artillery alignment: a pair of Lamps, together with
  a Dial sight is used to set up filed artillery in darkness.
  The Lamps are placed in line at measured distances
  from the weapon, enabling accurate maintenance of
  alignment.
• Gun aiming point for AFVs, readily established in
  daylight, with colours enabling differentiation between
  troops and weapons

  adjustable clamps to facilitate easy fixing to either round or
