TORCH HUNTING GUIDE

List of torches with their usable shooting range (safely identifying an animal).

​

​This list has been updated to use a formula instead of being based on user feedback, this is to stop the issue of some people being more comfortable shooting at longer ranges with less visiblity than others. Consider this list as a bare minimum range, it's better to get more than less.

​

*Formula is ÷2.5 of the rated range spec. For some long range models I've reduced a little further.

​​100m - 300m

​​

• Convoy S8 SFT40 White: 135m

• Wurkkos TD05 White: 135m (USB Charging)

• Convoy C8+ SST20 Red: 110m

• Convoy L21B SST20 Red: 160m

• Convoy C8+ NM1 Red: 220m

​

300m - 500m

​​​

• Convoy C8+ SFT40 White: 300m

• Convoy C8+ PM1 White: 360m

• Convoy C8+ SFT25R White: 390m

• Wurkkos TD01C White: 400m (USB Charging)

• Convoy C8+ NM1 Green: 440m

• Convoy L21B SBT90.2 White: 440m

​

550m - 700m

​​

• Convoy L21B SFT40 White: 480m

• Convoy L21B PM1 White :  520m

• Convoy L21B NM1 Green: 600m

 

​​• Convoy 3X21D White: 650m (Handheld Only)​

• White: 400m / Red: 240m​

• White: 400m / Green: 520m

The following is a list of the LED's beam size from narrowest through to widest.

 

• NM1

• PM1

• SFT25R

• SST20

• SFT40

• SBT90.2

​

I don't stock coloured filters because they lose too much range. Coloured LEDs are best.

​

I'm now stocking two different red LEDs in 620nm and 660nm wavelength. 660nm is a darker red and is meant to be more effective, the trade-off is less range.

​

The Convoy S8, C8+, and L21B all have a remote switch available here.​
