XBeam Green LED Torches

 

 

All the capability of our Red Xbeam but with Green. GREEN light is a little more easily seen by humans, but also by animals. This is the reason we perceive green light to throw further. This is a dedicated dual LED light. meaning two distinct and separate LEDs which are moved in to place to provide the best possible output in each wavelength. We don't use filters, as filters work by holding back all but the desired wavelength, not by converting light to other wavelengths. This is the reason the X-Beam LED torch was developed, two LEDs give you good light in both wavelengths. A single say green LED torch (or white LED torch) really only allows good light in that wavelength.

Light Output and Beam Pattern
The X-Beam torch gives a very wide spot out to about 200 metres on the white LED, which can be expanded even broader (with consequent shorter throw) by screwing the rotary head. The green LED throw approximately 120 metres, possibly a little more for those with a lot of experience. Most suggest that green LED torches throw a little further than red LED torches. Our eyes traditionally don’t perceive shapes and contrast as well with a single colour such as these, the reason for the reduced distance. Of course the coloured LEDs don’t take as much from your night vision.

Wavelengths
The green LED is 530nm.

Construction and Thermal Transfer Tube
The X-Beam  torch is built around our  brass Thermal Transfer Tube and the rest of the flashlight body covering this is made from 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminium. The idea of the Thermal Transfer Tube is to do three things, one to strengthen the whole torch structure, with the whole being stronger than either component, two to provide good electrical conductivity and most importantly three, to drag damaging heat away from the LED and dissipate it through the mass of the torch body. LEDs can be permanently damaged by excessive heat and suffer reduced output for the rest of their life.

The torch head has a rotary adjustment so it can withstand heavy movement.

The torch body is made from 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminium which is then low temperature (-20o C) Hard Anodized tactical black.

Dual Tailcap
The torch tailcap is the Wolf Eyes Dual Tailcap, which means you can use it like a regular tailcap or screw on the included tapeswitch for faster control of your flashlight. The Dual Tailcap also features a spring in it, combined with the spring at the front of the torch body, the two springs contain the battery which can move but electrical contact is maintained at all times.

Procap
The Procap gives the ability to preselect the level of output before you turn it on (or after). This means you can select low to read without blinding yourself with glare, or select disorientating strobe before approaching an offender. The Procap is a ring around the conventional tailswitch and is easily adjusted with one hand. The Procap is unique in that it doesn’t turn off between levels, so you are never left in the dark, even for a split second, by your Wolf Eyes torch. Photographers often choose this cap as it allows you to tailor the amount of light to the job at hand.

Defence Use

If you work in one of the arms of the Defence Department and need green light  the X-Beam  Pro may be the torch for you. The Procap allows you set the intensity of the light before turning the torch on (as well as after or while using), while the lever allows you to choose between red and white light. Or Red and Infra Red by special order. So if you are Airforce, Army or Navy the Wolf Eyes X-Beam Red torch may be right for you. If you are a sailor you may have even been given one.

Regulation
The X-Beam LED torch is regulated, meaning it doesn’t dim as the battery flattens. Torches usually dim as the battery flattens, sometimes just a little and often a lot. This is because the battery reduces in voltage as it flattens. The solution to this regulation, this increases the amperage as the voltage is reduced, so the optimum power or current is always supplied to the torches LED.

Rechargeable Batteries
The X-Beam  torch uses the well-known LRB168A HDB lithium ion (18650- high discharge battery) batteries which are protected for your safety. These are used in all Wolf Eyes Torches and Headlamps for total compatibility. They are energy dense, so only one is needed, enabling the friendly 25.4mm (1”) torch body size to be used, so most mounts will fit. The batteries are also protected for your safety.

Cold Weather
All Lithium Ion powered Wolf Eyes torches work well in cold weather, the X-Beam  flashlight being rated from -20o C to +60o C.

Australian Approved Charger
The charger with your Wolf Eyes LED Torch is Australian Approved, meaning that you can feel safe using it and all your insurances such as Workcover, OH&S, building, will apply.

Support
Your Wolf Eyes X-Beam  torch is supported with a range of flashlight spares in Australia. There is also a 1300 911 007 number for questions or queries, this number also has live answering after hours so you enquiry can be logged and attended to in business hours.
