Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A colour-corrected lighting system for night vision applications is disclosed which includes a near infrared light source 20 and a thin-sheet optical element 104 disposed a distance from the near infrared source 20. The optical element 104 includes an input surface 106 for receiving light from the near infrared source 20 and an output surface 110 for emitting the received light in a desired emission pattern and the system also includes a visible, non-red light source in the form of a plate 25 having a plurality of non-red light emitting diodes 23 arranged thereon. The plate 25 is proximate the output surface 110 of the optical element 104 so that it emits the visible light to mask the emitted near infrared light.
