NocPix LUMI L19 Thermal Imaging Monocular

The LUMI L19 uses a 384×288 thermal imaging sensor with a 12μm pixel pitch, providing a significant increase in native thermal resolution over the 256×192 sensor used by the LUMI P13.

Just as importantly, the L19 achieves ≤18mK NETD thermal sensitivity. A low NETD value allows the detector to distinguish smaller differences in temperature, helping reveal subtle detail when an animal and its surroundings are close in temperature.

This becomes especially valuable during damp, foggy, overcast or mild conditions when natural thermal contrast may be reduced.

The 19mm F0.9 germanium objective is what gives the L19 its distinctive role within the LUMI range.

Rather than concentrating on maximum native magnification, the shorter focal length produces a wide 13.8° × 10.4° field of view. At 100 metres, that equates to an observed area of approximately 24m × 18m.

A wide field of view makes it easier to locate moving animals and scan large sections of nearby terrain without constantly sweeping the monocular from side to side.

The fast F0.9 aperture also allows a high level of infrared energy to reach the detector, complementing the L19's sensitive ≤18mK sensor.

The LUMI L19 starts at 2× base magnification and provides digital magnification up to 8×.

The relatively low starting magnification is intentional. It gives the L19 its broad view and makes the device particularly effective as a handheld thermal scanner.

NocPix specifies a thermal detection range of up to 980 metres using a standard 1.7m × 0.5m target at P(n)=99%.

Detection range means that the thermal imager can establish that a heat source is present. Recognition and positive identification occur at shorter distances and depend on the target, weather, thermal contrast and surrounding environment.

NocPix equips the LUMI series with Reality+ image processing designed to improve the presentation of thermal information captured by the detector.

The processing works to enhance useful image detail and reduce unwanted noise, complementing the L19's sensitive ≤18mK detector.

Electronic image stabilisation is also provided to help reduce the visual effect of small hand movements, particularly when digital magnification is being used.

A 50Hz refresh rate keeps movement fluid while scanning and makes following moving wildlife more natural.

The LUMI L19 presents its thermal image through a 1024×768 AMOLED display.

AMOLED technology provides strong contrast and deep blacks, helping the information captured by the thermal detector remain clearly presented through the eyepiece.

The optical system provides 25mm eye relief, a 10mm exit pupil and -5D to +5D dioptre adjustment for comfortable viewing.

The L19 weighs approximately 335g including its battery and measures around 139 × 47 × 74mm.

This compact format makes it easy to carry in a jacket pocket or kit bag and reduces fatigue during extended periods of handheld scanning.

Its combination of low weight, wide field of view and 2× starting magnification makes the L19 particularly well suited to users who spend significant time actively searching rather than observing a known target from a fixed position.

The NocPix LUMI L19 is powered by a replaceable rechargeable 18650 Li-ion battery.

The removable design allows a compatible charged spare battery to be carried and exchanged in the field rather than requiring the complete monocular to remain connected to a charger.

NocPix also uses reverse-polarity battery support in the LUMI series, making battery replacement easier in darkness.

Battery Type	Replaceable rechargeable 18650 Li-ion
Maximum Stated Runtime	Up to 4.5 hours
External Power	USB Type-C

Actual runtime varies with ambient temperature and use of power-intensive functions including Wi-Fi, photography and video recording.

The LUMI L19 includes 32GB of internal memory and supports both thermal photography and video recording.

A built-in microphone provides audio support for compatible video recordings, allowing observations to be documented directly through the monocular.

Wi-Fi functionality also allows compatible mobile-device connectivity through the NocPix ecosystem.

The LUMI L19 carries an IP67 ingress-protection rating, providing protection against dust and water in accordance with that standard.

NocPix specifies an operating-temperature range of -20°C to +50°C, making the L19 suitable for outdoor observation across a broad range of seasonal conditions.

The L19 and L35 use the same 384×288, 12μm sensor with ≤18mK thermal sensitivity. The major difference is the objective lens, which completely changes how the two monoculars behave.

LUMI L19	19mm F0.9 | 2–8× | 13.8° × 10.4° FOV | 980m detection
LUMI L35	35mm F0.9 | 4–16× | 7.5° × 5.7° FOV | 1,800m detection

The L35 is not simply a better L19. Each lens is optimised for a different type of observation.

The L19 and P13 both provide 2× base magnification and a similarly wide field of view, but the L19 represents a substantial upgrade in thermal imaging performance.

LUMI L19	384×288 | ≤18mK | 19mm F0.9 | 980m detection
LUMI P13	256×192 | ≤20mK | 13mm F0.9 | 670m detection

The L19 provides considerably more native thermal pixels, better stated thermal sensitivity and greater detection reach while retaining the wide-view character that makes the P13 easy to scan with.

The L19 and H35 are both strong scanning-oriented LUMI models, but the H35 moves into a much higher level of thermal resolution and longer-range performance.

LUMI L19	384×288 | 19mm F0.9 | 2–8× | 980m detection
LUMI H35	640×512 | 35mm F0.9 | 2.5–20× | 1,800m detection

The L19 is the more affordable compact scanner. The H35 is the premium choice when greater image detail, more detection reach and a 640×512 sensor justify the additional cost.

LUMI P13 — the most accessible LUMI, designed for close-range thermal scanning with a 256×192 sensor.

LUMI L19 — the wide-field 384×288 option. An excellent choice for woodland, hedgerows, smaller fields and fast scanning.

LUMI L35 — uses the same 384×288 resolution but adds a 35mm lens, 4× base magnification and greater detection reach.

LUMI L35R — takes the longer-range 384×288 L35 platform and adds an integrated laser rangefinder.

LUMI H35 — upgrades to a 640×512 detector while retaining a useful wide field of view.

LUMI H35R — combines the premium 640×512 H-series thermal platform with integrated laser ranging.
