Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ What are the advantages of LED flashlights for hunters?
LED flashlights are a reliable light source for hunters, offering exceptional brightness and energy efficiency. This means you can use them for hours without frequent battery changes, even during long nighttime activities. Their compact design and weather resistance make them work reliably in rain, snow or fog. Additional features, such as variable light output, red or green light modes, and the ability to be mounted on a weapon, increase comfort and safety in the field.
2️⃣ What to look for when choosing an LED flashlight for the field?
When choosing an LED flashlight, you should be guided by the light output (lumens) and range to provide adequate illumination at the needed distance. Also important are water and shock resistance (IPX rating) and the type of power supply and battery life, as well as the types of light modes. Practical models of compact flashlights will be Fenix E02R or Fenix E12 V3.0.
3️⃣ Will an LED flashlight work in rainy conditions?
The LED flashlight will perform well in rainy conditions, provided it has the appropriate water resistance (IPX) rating, preferably IPX7 or IPX8. This ensures that the design is sealed, preventing water from entering and causing failure. Designs that demonstrate water resistance are, for example, the Fenix E20 V2.0 and Fenix E09R flashlights.
4️⃣ How long does an LED flashlight last on a single charge?
The duration of the LED flashlight on a single charge depends on the capacity of the battery, the power of the LED and the selected mode of operation. It can range from tens of minutes to even tens of hours. In maximum mode (e.g., more than 1,000 lumens), the flashlight usually runs for 1-3 hours. On the other hand, in economy mode (e.g., 10-50 lumens), the time can exceed 40-60 hours. Many models also have battery level indicators or an automatic function to switch to economy mode, making it easier to manage energy in the field.
5️⃣ Do LED flashlights have a function to change the color of the light?
Yes, many modern LED flashlights have a function to change the color of the light, allowing you to adjust the illumination for different tasks and conditions. Red light works well for night vision and won't scare off game, green makes it easier to observe maps or read data, and some models also offer blue or UV light. Changing the color is usually done with special filters, separate LEDs or programmable modes, which increases the functionality of the flashlight in the field. Models that are equipped with different colors of light are, for example: Fenix SW05R-RED or Fenix HL12R V2.0.
