IMO nvgs are just Gucci kit for Airsoft.. In Airsoft nvg is not needed because you can pretty much hear/see any targets you will engage.. Useing white light or any light other then (low red map lighs) will kill your natural night vision even using a bright light once it will take your eyes time to adjust back to the bush.

I think that on milsim ex only time your in the clear to use higher lumen light source is either inside a building or outside trying to give position away for an ambush.. Only other time I can see is defending a position identifying targets at range ( holding a simulated FOB or things of that nature where the enemy already knows your location)

If you let your eyes adjust you'd be very surprised how well your natural vision is at night with help of moonlight. By the looks of your sig your CF if you have completed your DP1A you should know the answer to the question lol.. People that use million lumen lights at night simply because they are not trained not too..
