That combination — daylight-capable eye pro that also stops IR — is the reason this release mattered to the night vision crowd. Thin Line Defense Co ran the MK2 through a full teardown, lens-by-lens comparison, and instrumented laser power testing against blue, green, red, and infrared sources, then took the Eclipse NIR lenses onto a Talon night vision system running L3 thin-film tubes. The verdict: a solid \"S\" rating with the Eclipse NIR glass installed. What follows is the breakdown — measured transmission numbers for every lens in the lineup, actual milliwatt readings before and after the Eclipse NIR, how the lens shifts tube color under NV, and the honest case for why some shooters should still buy the Mark I instead. Key Takeaways Eclipse NIR cut a 20.6 mW infrared laser down to 0.5 mW — only about 2–3% of the power made it through. Green laser testing dropped 17.8 mW to 1.3 mW (roughly 7% transmission); blue dropped 10.5 mW to 1.6 mW (about 15%). Red is not an advertised protected wavelength, but the lens still cut a 5.6 mW red laser to 3.2 mW — about 50%. Eclipse NIR runs 59% light transmission; clear is 89%, high-c…
