Fenix HT18 Long Range Flashlight, Black

Product Information

The 95 individual LEDs provide a clear, wide white beam – but only for a short distance. In our test it lit up the sheep, but not enough to see any detail. It’s a bit slippery to hold despite the knurled barrel, but the action of the on/off switch is positive.

The HT18 is powered using the included Fenix 21700 5000 mAh USB rechargeable lithium-ion battery for best run-times due to the larger capacity, and is charged outside of the torch via the Type C charging port on the battery itself using the included Type C charging cable for fast charging. Alternatively you can use an 18650 lithium-ion battery (not included), however the 18650 battery must be inserted in the included ALF-18 battery holder before inserting it into the torch and would require a separate battery charger to be recharged. It’s made to be tough and looks like it could be dropped and trodden on a few times. It’s resistant to moisture and the hardened glass lens is said to be scratch-resistant.

Olight high power LED torch possesses a CREE XP-L HI LED rendering a maximal yield of 1100 Lumens in addition to a beam range of 800 metres. It’s a fair bet that most of the torches in use on UK farms came from local agricultural dealers. So, when it came to finding a selection of current models, that’s exactly where we went. But we also added a few newcomers that seemed to offer something a bit different. It was easily bright enough to reach to the pen, and the swivel function was robust and easily adjustable, enough to securely position the beam for the lambing test. It’s light and comfortable on your head, and great for illuminating a reasonably wide area while still stretching far enough to see details clearly.

We liked this feature as it enabled us to scan the field and then focus in on a ewe to see it more clearly. This can all be done one-handed. It’s also bright enough to reach to the hedgeline and everywhere in between. The button was a bit awkward to press.The typical LED utilises about 11.5 percent from the energy levels employed by halogen and electrical filament light bulbs to produce a similar amount of light and can carry on burning all day, if not days within the exact same group of batteries. Tested in laboratory conditions to ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard using 1 x Fenix ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 21700 lithium-ion rechargeable battery under the temperature of 21±3°C and humidity of 50% - 80%. Results may vary between torch, battery and environments.

And because it’s so powerful at long range, don’t be surprised if it eats batteries. It will last about 3hrs 30mins, but after the first couple of hours you’ll notice the range drops significantly. An excellent choice for hunting as well as other outdoor pursuits, this hunting torch brings its own patented tri-colour lighting sources control switch design as well as being zoomable. It is also very clever in terms of how it conserves its power, with a regulated power supply which maintains constant brightness as well as reverse polarity protection, which prevents damage from improper battery installation.
