The Cammenga G.I. Military Phosphorescent Lensatic Compass is made for the moment the sun is down and you still need a bearing. Brief exposure to light charges its phosphorescent markings, an alternative to the tritium model for night time use.

A magnifying lens and sight wire support accurate readings, the dial is graduated in both degrees and mils, and copper induction damping slows the magnet without liquids. The compass has an aluminum frame and waterproof housing and is made in the USA.

Why it works:

  • Readable once the sun sets: Get a night time reading from markings you charge in moments. Brief exposure to light charges the phosphorescent markings.
  • Sight it, then read it close: Line up on a target and read the bearing with care. A magnifying lens and sight wire work together for accurate readings.
  • Degrees or mils on one dial: Work in the unit your map or your group uses. Dial graduations are marked in both degrees and mils.
  • A settled dial with no fluid: Get a steady reading with no liquids inside. A copper induction damping system slows the rotation of the magnet without the use of liquids.
  • Built for wet weather and wear: Carry it in wet weather with confidence. The aluminum frame and waterproof housing are built to last and made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the tritium version?â–¸

Its markings are phosphorescent. Brief exposure to light charges them for night time use, which makes this compass an alternative to the tritium model. The word "Phosphorescent" is stamped on the back of the compass so you can tell which one you have.

What comes with the compass?â–¸

The compass comes with a carrying pouch, a lanyard and a belt clip, so it is ready to carry from the start.

Can I read bearings in mils?â–¸

Yes. The dial is graduated in both degrees and mils, so you can work in whichever unit your map or plan uses.

How does it compare with the Rothco Military Marching Compass with LED Light?â–¸

Both are built on aluminum, this compass with an aluminum frame and the Marching Compass with an aluminum cast case, and both offer magnification for accurate readings. Choose the Cammenga for phosphorescent markings that charge with brief exposure to light and a magnifying lens, or the Marching Compass for an integrated LED light and a built-in magnifying glass.

Can agencies and departments order the Cammenga G.I. Military Phosphorescent Lensatic Compass with a purchase order?â–¸

Yes. Luminary Global is an SDVOSB and WOSB. We accept purchase orders and GPC for agency and department orders, and offer volume quotes.
