Kestrel 4000
In 2000, Kestrel introduced the Kestrel 4000 Pocket Weather Tracker, and today it is still the most comprehensive pocket weather meter on the market. For just under 4 ounces, you get every environmental reading with the press of a single button. The 4000 is unparalleled in its ease of use and totally customizable navigation and data display. In addition to measuring the current conditions, it tracks and stores up to 2000 sets of data, and data can be uploaded to a PC with the optional Kestrel Interface.
Due to overwhelming demand from our military customers. We offer the 4000 in olive drab with a visible red backlight, which helps sustain the user's natural night vision. Military personnel and pilots flying in darkness are often concerned with preserving their night vision.
It takes 30 to 45 minutes for the average eye to adapt to darkness and maximize night vision. Even a short burst of white, yellow, green or blue light bleaches out the rod cell photoreceptors in the eye and causes night blindness until the entire adaptation process can take place again. Light in the red spectrum does not cause this bleaching out, preventing night blindness and night vision fatigue. The units' red backlight is also much dimmer than a standard backlight, making it more difficult to detect with the naked eye in night operations.
