Switchable R/G/B/W

Why Choose a Switchable R/G/B/W Torch?

Switchable red/green/blue/white flashlights give you four tools in one, making them incredibly versatile for every scenario. With the flip of a switch you can preserve night vision, enhance contrast, perform detailed inspections or flood your surroundings with pure white light—without carrying multiple torches. Available in both handheld and headlamp formats, they offer practical, hands-free illumination whenever you need it.

Key Features to Compare

1. Colour Modes & Wavelengths

   • Red (620–630 nm): Preserves dark adaptation and minimises disturbance to wildlife.

   • Green (520–530 nm): Enhances contrast against foliage and trail markers.

   • Blue (450–460 nm): Highlights blood, body fluids and fluorescing materials for inspection or forensics.

   • White (4 000–6 500 K): General-purpose lighting with broad flood and throw for tactical or everyday use.

2. Output & Runtime

   • Typical outputs range from 100 lm (night-vision modes) up to 1 500 lm on white turbo.

   • Runtimes vary by mode: up to 10+ hours on red/green, 2–5 hours on blue, and 1–3 hours on white, with built-in battery indicators on many models.

3. Beam Profile & Optics

   • Flood vs Spot: Flood lenses for close-in area work; spot or TIR optics for longer throw.

   • Adjustable Focus: Zoom or slide mechanisms on select lights let you dial between wide spill and focused hotspot.

4. Controls & Memory

   • One-Button Interface: Quickly cycle through colours and brightness levels with a single switch.

   • Mode Recall: Many torches remember your last colour and output setting on power-up.

   • Lockout Function: Prevents accidental activation in a bag or pocket.

5. Formats & Mounting

   • Handheld: Compact bodies with pocket clips or lanyard holes for grab-and-go use.

   • Headlamps: Adjustable straps and pivoting light heads for hands-free versatility.

Ideal Applications

• Hunting & Wildlife: Red and green modes preserve your stealth and night vision.

• Map Reading & Navigation: Blue or white light for clear chart, map and compass illumination.

• Forensics & Inspection: Blue beam to find blood, spills or fluid leaks; white for general examination.

• Astronomy & Stargazing: Red mode to adjust instruments and log notes without washing out the sky.

• Everyday Carry & Emergencies: White flood for pathways, strobe for signalling and colour modes for specialty tasks.

Maintenance & Best Practices

1. Keep Optics Clean: Wipe lenses and LEDs with a soft, dry cloth to preserve output and beam quality.

2. Inspect Seals & Threads: Check O-rings and battery-cap threads periodically; use a light coat of silicone grease to maintain water resistance.

3. Charge & Rotate Batteries: For rechargeable models, top up after each use; for replaceable cells, cycle spares to balance wear.

4. Test Before You Go: Run through each colour and mode to confirm beam output and battery health.

5. Store Properly: Keep torches at around 50 % charge in a cool, dry place if unused for long periods.
