So, a little while ago I decided to test out a few serious LED torches for some spotlighting.
The wolf eyes seal claimed over 1000 lumens and a no bulls4$t 500metre range at $270+ and the nite core claimed over 1000 lumens with also a 500m range but was just $60.
So results might surprise.
The nitecore absolutely blew the WE torch completely out of the water.
Both 500m claims are plain silly but I could take a 300m shot with a fully charged nitecore but maybe only 180m with the wolf eyes...I was pretty dissatisfied with the wolf eyes to be honest. It’s a decent light but not for the $$$.
It’s hard showcasing the difference in the real world so I just took two fully charged torches and put them on white paint. You can see the difference here quite easily as to which one is throwing the most light but in the real world - the difference is a LOT.
The wolf eyes light has adjustable lens, but it’s also a LOT heavier.
After this test, I bought some more inexpensive led torches for comparison, including astrolux, plight, Coleman, etc in the 800-1200 lumens range - but NOTHING comes close to the nitecore thus far. This one lives on my .22 now and I bought several more for family/friends for Xmas. Bloody great torch for a very good price!
