Abstract
A constant intensity light regulating firearm sight device includes a main body that is mountable onto the firearm and a lens that is positioned along the main body in a direction that is line of sight parallel to a firing axis of the firearm. The device includes a light source, a light sensor and a controller that are positioned along the main body. The light source emits a visible aim point onto the lens, and the light sensor detects and reports ambient light conditions to the controller. The controller includes a memory and processor for storing information and for controlling the operation of the device based on inputs from a user interface and the light sensor. The brightness level of the aim point is adjustable to a user-defined custom brightness setting, and the controller increases or decreases the custom brightness level based on data from the light sensor.
