The Boson Systems Proton Lite Binocular is a simple, no-electronics, no-compromise night vision system, machined entirely from 7075-T6 aluminum. Modular, analog, and reliable, it does everything you need from a night vision system—and nothing you don’t.

It features Boson Systems’ one-of-a-kind sealed pod system, which allows the user to fit any pod (lens, tube, and pod assembly without the battery compartment) onto a monocular or binocular bridge by simply screwing in four retention screws. This enables users to easily upgrade, share, or modify a setup on the go without needing to purge or perform additional maintenance. This flexibility is possible due to the dual-sealed nature of the Boson Proton Pod family of products.

The starter variant of the Boson Sytems Proton Lite binocular is a curated mix of components designed to ensure the maximum features and potential of the device are utilized, while maintaining a budget-friendly approach for first-time users.

The Starter Kit Variant offers the follwing Componenents:

• Commercial-spec optics (compatible with all standard PVS-14 optics accessories)

• GEN 2+ white phosphor autogated tube with either 1400+ or 1600+ FOM

• Boson Proton Lite housing compatible with all Boson Sytem Proton family of products

Optics

Our commercial specification optics, used in all our starter kits, are Singaporean-made and compatible with all standard PVS-14 threaded accessories. These lenses do not meet the same MIL-PRF-A3256342A standard as Noctis/Fuji lenses but deliver similar performance across the board. They may produce a slightly less contrast-heavy image but offer an excellent performance-to-price ratio, providing a clear and sharp image that lets the image intensifier’s resolution speak for itself.

The lenses shown in the pictures are Noctis, but ComSpec lenses have a nearly identical form, with different coatings and finish. To see the exact lens and specifications, see Comspec Lense Set

Image Intensifier

The image intensifier tubes used in all our starter kits are Gen 2+ autogated, available in white or green, with either 1400–1599 FOM or 1600–1699 FOM. The autogating feature is included in all our starter kit image intensifier tubes, providing added value from the start and ensuring a long-lasting, protected device.

These are our standard-level figures of merit, offering good image amplification nearing 10,000 cd/m²/lx (sometimes more, depending on the specific tube), which is usually found in more expensive tubes. This makes for a great starting point and even a solid midrange tube, which is also compatible with multiple other housings if upgrading from a starter kit is of interest.
