Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ What flashlight to choose for night hunting?
For night hunting, a flashlight with high light output (more than 1,000 lumens) and a narrow beam will be ideal, providing a long range without blinding. Especially appreciated are models with LEDs emitting red or green light, as they do not scare the game, while illuminating the area well. Also bet on a weatherproof flashlight, with the possibility of mounting on the weapon, which will significantly increase the comfort and safety of hunting. A recommended model could be the Fenix TK35UE V2.0 LED tactical flashlight or the Primos Bloodhunter HD model.
2️⃣ Do hunting flashlights have color filters?
Yes, many hunting flashlights have built-in color filters or the ability to mount them. This is very useful in various situations. The most common colors are red, green and blue. This makes the flashlight a versatile tool suitable for various conditions and tasks in the field.
3️⃣ What flashlights are rainproof and mudproof?
Rain- and mud-resistant flashlights are primarily those that have a sufficiently high waterproof rating, as defined by the IPX standard: preferably IPX7 or IPX8. This means that they are sealed and protected against the effects of water and even brief immersion. In the field, flashlights made of anodized aluminum or durable polymers work well, ensuring durability even in extreme conditions. An example of a highly resistant model would be the Fenix TK35UE V2.0 or the Fenix PD25R LED model.
4️⃣ Do hunting flashlights have a gun mount option?
Quite a few hunting flashlights are adapted for mounting on weapons, which is their key feature. They are equipped with special mounts, compatible with mounting systems such as Picatinny/Weaver 22mm rails or special magnetic adapters. A good example of a suitable design here would be the Fenix HT18R flashlight along with the ALG-18 tactical mount and Fenix AER-05 gel switch.
5️⃣ How long do hunting flashlights glow at full power?
The lighting time of hunting flashlights on full power is usually quite short and is usually about 1.5 hours. Of great importance is the model and capacity of the battery. This is due to the very high power consumption of LEDs when generating maximum brightness.
