# Micro Dot Intensity

On the Micro sights, the first 4 settings on the switch are your night vision settings. In these settings you will only see the dot when used with a night vision device. The next settings (5-6) are low light settings. You will only see the dot in low light conditions when your pupils have dilated. Remember that pupil dilation can take up to an hour. Stay in a dark environment for an hour and some of these lower settings will be optimal. Then we go into the daylight settings (7-9). These are the most common use settings. Next is bright conditions (10-11). Lastly, we have the max bright setting (12). This should be mostly unusable due to star bursting and mutable reflections. This setting will only be used in very bright conditions.
