The Wolf Eyes X-Beam RED torch is a specialized lighting device crafted for wildlife observation and photography. Its standout feature is the dual-LED system, incorporating both a red LED (625nm wavelength) and a white LED. Unlike traditional torches that rely on filters, the X-Beam uses separate LEDs to deliver optimal performance in both wavelengths. This ensures that the red light provides clear visibility without disturbing animals, while the white LED offers up to 1620 lumens of brightness for general use and camera autofocus assistance.
The torch projects a beam up to 200 metres with white light and approximately 120 metres with red light, adjustable from spot to flood via its aspheric lens system. Wildlife photographers particularly value the red LED, as it allows autofocus systems to function effectively without startling subjects. Zoos also employ the X-Beam for night tours, balancing animal welfare with visitor experience.
Built with durability in mind, the torch features a brass Thermal Transfer Tube encased in 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium, anodized for tactical resilience. This design enhances structural strength, electrical conductivity, and heat dissipation, protecting the LEDs from damage. The Procap tail switch enables users to preselect light output levels, ensuring smooth transitions without momentary darkness—a critical advantage during fieldwork.
Powered by a single LRB168A HDB lithium-ion rechargeable battery, the X-Beam maintains regulated output, preventing dimming as the battery depletes. It operates reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C, making it suitable for diverse environments. Compact at 170mm length and weighing 284 grams, it is compatible with standard mounts and easy to carry.
Overall, the Wolf Eyes X-Beam RED torch combines precision engineering, wildlife-friendly red illumination, and robust construction, making it a trusted tool for professionals and enthusiasts seeking reliable performance in nocturnal observation and photography
