In meantime I have got 2 versions of this light R2 turbo & R5 turbo and added a pictures(Candle Man took pro pictures)
They are coming in a nice wolf-eyes box with lanyard and instructions.
Wolf-Eyes Night-Hunter R5 turbo pictures
Aspherical lenses
Weird OP reflector inside (picture token over lenses)
Tube... Build like a tank...
Inside the switch
The following two beam shots are at 0.5 meter from a white door.
My night-hunter(R5) is on an cenpower protected 18650(2600mAh) cell.
- Zooming-out beam shot : ISO 200, 1/80 Sec, F3.2, White balance auto.
This is a control shot in the dark and there is building at 60m app..
- ISO 400, 1/50 Sec, F3.2, White balance auto.
This is zooming-in beam shot. (same condition as control shot)
It shows a nice beam profile to see and you can see a slightly larger outline of the actual emitter. I like it.
BUILD QUALITY?
- Flashlight comes lubed, nothing rattles, materials looks excellent.
- I did not disassemble it as U need some kind of special toll for that( U must unscrew O ring on aspherical lenses and take out lenses & Orange peel reflector.
ORANGE PEEL REFLECTOR INSIDE?
Just look it on pictures. I never seen this kind of reflector.
- This reflector gives ringy beam with a little spill...
SWITCH?
- What I liked the most is switch. Although it has 4 modes the good think is that it has no memory effect so every time U turn off the flashlight(for 2 seconds) and turn it on it will be on high :thumbsup:
Why to use other modes? If U R hunter U will find this modes very useful because with this flashlight U will get ALL IN ONE flashlight... Of course U will be using high most of the time but if U do kill u can put flashlight off the gun or scope and set it to lower modes and U can track for animals whole night 20% brightness(10.8hrs)->2% brightness (150hrs)claimed by manufacturer but I would say U need to take 40% from that and U will get real value.
DRIVER?
- Constant current driver. I use ultrafire 18650 protected ones and I get about 45 minutes full brightness, and after that light gets dimmer
EMITTER?
R5 TURBO(450lm)... What a hell is turbo in that
I don't know what to say but that is very WIDE...
Someone will like it Someone will hate it...
My opinion? Good for hunters bad for throw demanding people.
THROW?
Yes I test it of course without lux meters and other stuff because I thrust my eye more than lux meter
- Today was a bit foggy night with stars...
- Throw is good with R5 emitter up to 180 meters but if U R hunter U will use it up to 120 meters because U will be able to clearly identify the target at that distance
BEAM & focusing ability?
I don't know what to think about beam coming from this flashlight but it is ringy beam :ironic:
- Focusing ability is good and just good... I am not impressed...
Wolf-Eyes Night-Hunter R2 Turbo
Quite different OP reflector than in R5 model
This is day shot at my white door 4 meters away (R5 left R2 right)
R2 2,5 meters from wall
R2 close shot of hot spot
My 2 pcs R2 turbo vs R5 turbo
Final picture. R2(left)vs R5(right) Distance 40 meters of the house.
My considerations?
- Night hunter R2 Turbo is way better than R5 (although R5 cost 10 $ more )
- It is more than 50% brighter than R5
- It has not ringy beam like R5
- It has much better and brighter throw
- Throws more than 200 meters but best to use up to 120 meters
This flashlight is dream of every hunter. Why?
Well it does not have ultra super throw like Tiablo A9 with aspherical head but it have plenty advantages:
- This is aspherical flashlight but it is very bright with usable side spill
- It has regulated focus but most of the time it will be at best focusing position because U can clearly identify target from 5 to 120 meters(owners of tiablo A9 asph. knows that that is impossible on small distances with it)
- Switch is pure perfection. Always on high with no memory effect. If U use other mods and turn it off for 2 seconds it will be on high...
- Mods on wolf eyes are very usable... When U have wounded animal(guys that hate hunt my apologize) U can set it up to 20% brightness and track for animal whole night or 2% if U want to spend whole week in a forest
- U can clearly identify target that is 5 meters away while on tiablo A9 U can lid only tail of an animal
I can say that my tiablo A9 will go in backpak and it will be good for observation(200 - 300 meters throw) and this little beast goes on my rifle :thumbsup:
My recommendations(only R2 turbo) to every hunter and every throwing flashlight fan.
I don't want to compare it with tiablo A9 asph. in throw(but I can if U want) because nothing except deft and dbs can compete in throw with that thing.
U C that pictures on a house? Tiablo would have beam with no side spill 1,5×1,5 wide as window on a picture.
And one more thing:
This can run on 2× cr123 3,0 V(not rcr) so U can probably get 15% brighter throw with it but I will NEVER use it... I am enjoying with 18650 inside.
I did not wanted to test it with 2×rcr 16340 from tiablo because they have 3,7 V each so probably I would destroy flashlight driver.
