can i use it hiking at night?

No, absolutely NOT. Night vision does not mean you have vision at night. Not what they are designed for... You can use it for walking, running, riding bikes, or absolutely anything EXCEPT hiking... I swear, why do people ask the dumbest questions in the world???

Yes but if you focus the NVG's for close range it will not be clear if you look up and far away. I use mine Hog hunting and I do use them walking in and out of the stand. The only issue I have is if I try to look out past about 40 yards when they are focused at close range.

Yes you can but it may take you some time to adjust. Depth perception up close is a little off. You can see things close in a wooden area with no moonlight. You are limited to about 100 yards. I would give yourself to time to practice before completely relying on these for a night hiking experience. Personally, I would not hike at night unless I absolutely had to.

Not really. I use the light on my trailer and on my truck to illuminate the hitch at night.

Not needed during the day as I have some lighting from outside. If I want it on during the night time I can turn it on.

I have not used this light for hiking. I use it around the house, yard and for working on my car. The lamp has a single LED that's better for distance and a cluster of 3 LEDS that is better suited to area illumination. Both the Single and Cluster of 3 LEDs can be set to high or low brightness. The single LED on high reaches out to about 40 feet when it's very dark. It shines further but not bright enough to make out fine details. It's perfectly fine for me to use in the yard at night if I need something from my shed. Bright enough to see around me (I have a large yard) but not so bright that it blinds me when I look at something closer. I've been so pleased with this light that I purchased two more to keep in the cars. My only reservation with you using it for hiking is I assume you wouldn't actually be hiking in complete darkness. Dusk maybe? I don't know how much it would help when there is some ambient light. For use at a campground when it has gone complete dark I think it will be great.

Yes. I can also be set to turn light off at 'dawn' and on at 'dusk' as a function of your latitude.

As far as I know, yes. For outdoors dsylight you need as much light that you can get from your flash unit. For oitdoors at night, I guess the same thing

Absolutely not! It's blinding. You should only use it when there's enough light for you to see where you're walking.

I think so. Like I said, I use mine mostly when hunting. When I hunt in the mornings I try to get to my spot an hour before first-light, which usually means a good hour of hiking through the woods in the dark. I have no complaints about it whatsoever.

I would not recommend it for night time driving. It is best used during the day.

Yes you can ! Power drain is very low . You will have to have the trailer plug connected and the lights on .

you can with the front cover in place but i wouldnt use it in bright midday light much it 'might' damage it if done repeatedly .. in my opinion it should really only be put on a rifle you intend to use at night specifically ..

Yes you can leave it on all night or 30, 60, or 90 min. You plug if in and have batteries for back-up or you can run it on batteries alone. There is a brook option on the card that comes with it. I purchased the nature card also and we (the kids) listen to that every night. I like it better than the card that comes with it however, that is my personal preference.

I don't use it at night. It's for daytime. I don't know any reason why you couldn't use it overnight. But they make a night formula. I use THAT one at night.

You won't need to use it while charging battery life is good, plus when you need charge it at night. The answer is yes

This is just for use when you will not be walking, which is mostly at night. Thank you,

Nope, not at all. The lenses are way too dark for wearing at night, unless your goal is to run into trees. Sorry!
