The line is provided with night illumination by a self-luminous placed in a compartment to the right of the graticule. There is an external lever which controls the illumination from "hell" (Bright" to "dunkel" (Dark). In the bright position the illumination is visible after 2 to 3 minutes' observation in the dark and plainly visible after 10 minutes. In the dark position it is just cut out completely.

Luminous Paint
The luminous paint is very good. It is visible immediately the lights are extinguished and so placed as to make it possible to move about without trouble. After a few minutes objects become visible.
