A friend of mine is looking for a new flashlight to use for coyote hunting.
It needs to be red LED, or at least be LED with a red filter/cap.
Here is the question: if it is an actual red LED light, will it have better output/throw than an white LED light with a filter? The problem is, the manufactures using the actual red LEDs don't provide the specific red LED they are using, so I can compare. Also, I don't know how much lumen loss and loss of throw occurrs when using a red filter cap, such as on a SureFire M3LT.
So for the moment, here are the contenders:
What are your thoughts? Should he look for a high-out put light with a red LED, or get a nice white LED based light as the above and use a red filter? Also - can 17500's fit in the M3LT? (I'm assuming yes)
- EWT XLR 250 (Red LED):
- SF M3LT (w/ red filter cap):
- Thrunite Catapult V2 (w/ red filter cap):
Thanks in advance!
