Long Range Illumination, focussed beam penetrates smoke and dust/airborne particles like no other LED I've seen.
Living out in the country where there's no street lighting and plenty of bumps in the night that make me go out to check on my horses/stock, I've accumulated a pretty good portfolio of quality LED lights. LED lighting is a boon, providing plenty of illumination with very little current, so it's possible to have very bright lights in a very small package. However, I've found a downside to LED lights is they reflect back from any airborne particles--dust, smoke, moisture, rain, snow--much more than their incandescent predecessors (and in fact, halogen fog lights remain the best choice for the vehicles). Now to this Odear light: for some reason this Odear light, with its single LED light source but nicely contoured reflector producing a tightly focused beam, punches through with a minimum of glare. I've got another light with five of the very same LEDs as the single LED in this Odear, and a side by side comparison is amazing: the multiple LED light does put out more light overall, but much of it is dispersed and there's a good amount of glare (off the wildfire smoke that presently occupies the air). The Odear light isn't dispersed, and it punches right through. I'd in our present conditions conditions where there's very thick smoke from a nearby wildfire, the Odear is able to illuminate clearly up to 200 yards, while the other light can't penetrate past 100 yards. I'll also add, reducing reflected glare has obvious advantages for reducing the amount that using a light at night reduces your night vision. The downside to this Odear light is the weight, but it is easy to live with it for the functionality it provides.Ver másVer menos
