Universal Shooting (Guns) Academy - Travel Information

Flashlights

Luxeon LED’s are shock proof since they have no filament and offer longer run times than incandescent lights, but usually do not have the “throw” of an incandescent. They are usually fine for CQB and will last a lifetime without failure. Incandescent lights can have much higher output and a much longer throw than LED’s, but will eventually burn out and fail. Some manufacturers are currently working on higher output LED’s that will improve their throw and output. LED’s have a tendency to wash out in ambient light such as street lamps, lamps, etc. They can not be used with infrared filters because they do not contain much of that wavelength, but several Flashlights light manufactures offer good dedicated LED infrared illuminators for night vision use. LED lights run at the same level until the batteries start to die, then they start to dim and emit less light over a period of time. Incandescents die QUICK once the batteries get low. Many people will think their light broke, when the batteries are really just dead.BATTERIES ----- All serious lights will run on CR123 batteries. Only Surefire SF123 or DL123 are recommended (others may blow up etc.). These batteries are small, light, have a huge capacity, and produce a near constant output of 3 volts for 80% of their life, then they die down quick. There are quite a few good rechargeable out there, but CR123’s will still be lighter for the same output. NO good weapon light can run on AAA, AA, C, D, or lantern batteries because of the limited voltage possible, limited capacity, and high weight of those batteries.
