The OWL is the latest in a long line of high output multi LED torches from Wolf Eyes. Unlike many competitors the Owl has substantial heatsinking where it is needed. This isn't one of those torches which gives 10,000 lumens for 1 minute then drops the power back (and the throw!), this sustains what it says on the tin for the duration. You can see the gold heatsink right there in the photo, this keeps the LED running at optimum temperature and not overheating.
The Owl has a beautifully even flood of light at all distances and a beautiful spot from 5 metres out. Below 5 metres you can just make out the three circles of light making the beam. This is a great torch for Search & Rescue or security especially if on acreage as it goes from spot to flood. It would be great on a boat, as water eats light and this has plenty of light to overcome that - while having the ability to keep that light up all the way to the end, unlike many other torches. There are not many torches with tonnes of light which have a perfect beam from flood to spot - then maintain that from start to finish, unlike some of these 30 second wonders. All the while due to intelligent heatsinking the size is kept very reasonable for a large output multi LED torch
Light Output and Beam Pattern
Amazingly the three LEDs in their reflectors combine to give a very even beam of spot which can be adjusted out flood. There is a lot of light in both spot and flood, all extremely even and clear.
Runtimes
Turbo: 46 minutesHigh: 1 hr 5 minutesMedium: 1hr 32 minutesMedium Low: 3hrs 50 minutesLow: 38 hours
Construction
The 3 LEDs are mounted to a solid metal base which is screwed into the body to enable a good thermal connection to wick heat damaging away from the LEDs, important to ensure a long life for your torch. The 26.5mm body rests easy in the hand and makes this torch a pleasure to use.
Tailcap - Procap21
The Wolf Eyes Owl uses our Procap 21 tailcap which gives four levels of output and two strobes, an emergency strobe which is relatively slow and a fast disorientating strobe – combined with the brightness of this unit it is quite something. You can turn the torch on in any mode, eg start in low or similar. There is also a small red button on the tailcap to obtain high beam instantly.
Regulation
An LED torch such as the Owl needs to be regulated and in this case certainly is. Regulation means we regulate the amount of current reaching the LEDs to be the absolute optimum, not too much (which will overheat the LEDs and permanently damage them) but also no too little such as when the voltage reduces as the battery flattens. To solve this problem we increase the amperage as the battery flattens, so your LED flashlight has a consistent brightness.
Rechargeable Batteries
The Wolf Eyes Owl torch uses the new LRB217 lithium ion battery. This is new and bigger with higher capacity with higher instantaneous discharge than our standard LRB168 (18650) batteries. These batteries are fully protected for your safety.
Australian Approved Charger
USB rechargeable via USB-C port. The charger supplied with your Wolf Eyes Owl flashlight is Australian Approved, this means you are safer when using it and that all your insurances will apply.
Support
Your Owl LED torch is fully supported in Australia with spare parts and also with a 1300 911 007 for any questions or queries.
