Hunting flashlights
A hunting flashlight is indispensable when you go hunting. Not only to light up your path, but also to get a good look at your prey. A hunting torch, for example, is often equipped with a red LED. It is also possible to use red, green or blue filters. This is because red light is not seen by animals, which makes a torch with red light suitable for hunting. In addition, red light won't disturb your night vision as much as white light. Green light reaches further than red light, but can be noticed by game because of the intensity of the light. The blue light beam is perfect when you are looking for game you shot. After all, traces of blood can easily be spotted with blue light. But these are by no means all the requirements a hunting torch must meet. We will tell you more!

Features of hunting flashlights
The number of lumens for a hunting flashlight
To see clearly when out hunting, we recommend you purchase a flashlight that has at least 1000 lumens in the highest mode. The amount of lumen represents the total amount of light that comes from a light. However, the amount of lumen does not say anything about the beam distance of the light. That is why you should always look at the beam distance of the light. Most people select a light with a beam distance of approximately 225 meters. We also think that is the right amount. With 1000 lumens/225 metres you will know for sure that you can clearly see the contrast of the shadow of the animal. If you want to be able to choose between a broad beam for up close and a narrow beam for further away you should take a closer look at the flashlights with a focusable beam.
Light colour hunting torch
Light colour is also important when choosing a hunting torch. White light is very bright and gives great visibility, but it is also bright for wildlife! If you want to stand out less, choose a lamp with red light. This is less noticeable to animals and better for preserving your own night vision. In addition, green light is a popular choice for hunters because it offers good contrast, does not attract insects and is gentle on the eyes. Finally, blue light is a useful option for a hunting torch, as it makes tracks such as blood more visible.
Carrying comfort of a hunting flashlight
When you go out hunting, you will probably already carry a lot of gear with you. As such, you are probably not looking to carry a heavy flashlight as well. In our specifications we always list how much a flashlight weighs. It is completely personal what feels great for you, but we advise you to not select a flashlight that is heavier than 600 grams. The weight listed on our website is the empty weight of the hunting torch, without batteries. Including batteries, a torch always weighs a bit more, keep that in mind. Many flashlights are also enhanced with a pocket clip. Very practical! The pocket clip is mounted to the flashlight which you can use to easily attach it to your belt or bag. This way, you will always have quick access to your flashlight.
The power of a hunting flashlight
Nothing is more frustrating than a hunting torch that lets you down the moment you need it. That is why we advise you to carefully look at the burn time of the batteries. The burn time should always be longer than the time you expect to be away from home. Good preparation is key! That is why you should always leave your home with full batteries. If possible add a couple of spare batteries to your gear as well. Are you often out in the cold? If so, we recommend CR123A batteries. They perform better at low temperatures than an 18650 battery - perfect for long hours on the high seat.
