Powered and long-lasting torches are essential equipment for night hunting. Choosing the right torch for lamping in a dark areas is important. It can be difficult to correctly identify in the dark without a reliable source of light. There are many different types of torches on the market, so it can be hard to find one that suits your needs perfectly. This blog post will help you decide which type of torch you need to consider. And to help you better understand the differences, we will take the Olight Javelot series for comparison.
4 Main Factors You Need to Consider when choosing the right hunting light
Brightness for night hunting
Brightness is the fundamental requirement of a torch. Hence, you need to understand several criteria related to brightness:
· Luminous intensity: The most basic is the luminous intensity Candela, the symbol is cd, which is used to indicate the intensity of the light source in one direction.
· Luminous flux, unit-LM. Luminous flux is the amount of light energy that arrives, leaves, or passes through a curved surface per unit time. To facilitate understanding, we use a metaphor that may be appropriate here. Luminous flux is like force in mechanics. It is the brightness emitted by the luminous body.
· Illumination intensity, unit lux (lux) "Illumination intensity, referred to as illuminance. Illumination/illuminance on a surface irradiated by light is defined as the luminous flux illuminating a unit area”. Analogy to luminous flux, we will illuminate Ratio is the pressure in mechanics. It is the brightness of the light on the object.

Lighting mode for night hunting
Most of our torches can be set with a variety of lighting modes, and the ability to change output levels can match your needs in different scenarios. When you search and rescue outdoors, the light of 150LM will make you feel that you can't see the search and rescue target. And when you only use it in emergency at home, the light of 1300LM will be too much when indoors.
It is necessary to choose the right lighting level on the right occasion, and it is also convenient to choose a multi-stage lighting torch suitable for your own use.

MODE 4 | 15LM /12Days /85M | 15LM /318H /140M |
Running time for night hunting
Running time is one of the factors that affect the user experience. When you relay on the light on your phone you leave yourself open to the chance of losing that valuable ability to call someone if you need help.
Therefore, it is very necessary for those who use torches to understand the time remaining for use. At the same time, seeing the power indicator function and related data about charging, so that you can recharge your torch in good time.

Durability for night hunting
Surface material: Black is the classic colour of a torch, but different torch colours make your torch personal. While paying attention to the aesthetics of the surface, it is also necessary to pay more attention to whether its surface treatment is strong enough to prevent scratches and damage, such as aviation aluminum alloy shell, the surface is three-level hard oxidation.
In addition, torches with good waterproof and drop-proof ratings are less likely to cause damage when you go out on an adventure or accidentally fall.
