Anyone recognise the flashlight ? Thanks !
Well the pics arent working however I watched the episode and was wondering the same thing.
Try that link, any ideas anyone ?
It kind of looks like a small HID.
Wolf-eyes Boxer 10-W ?
I was about to say the Polarion 10W but, depending on how big the guy's hands are, it could be a Microfire Innovator.
Or any one of a host of (almost) cheap 10W HIDs which probably don't make a lot of sense in these days of XM-L's.
That’s probably a good guess.
It may also be a generic, as Don pointed out.
I would disagree, however, that HIDs don’t make sense - on film. The beam intensity is much greater than with most LEDs. This allows the beam to be captured on-camera with greater ease.
I just saw Captain America, and during the opening scene in the Tundra the director exploits the same beam effect. They are using larger torches, possibly in the 35-watt range.
Small HID for sure.
Another picture.
Def looks like a Wolf-Eyes Boxer 10w, thanks everyone !
Would any of you kind folk advise on batteries for a unit like this ?
I guess options are:
3x LRB-168 rechargeable
3x LRB-150 rechargeable
4x CR-123 non-rechargeable
Thanks ...
Thats funny because the first thing that came to mind was a Wolf Eyes Boxer. I have a Boxer 24W myself and I thought it looked like the smaller 10W. Now after seeing the still pick its dead on.
So which XML's should I research that would fall into the same performance as this HID flashlight/torch ?
Just about any of them will produce the same sort of output as a 10W HID. There probably aren't a lot of 10W ones left on the market. The higher wattage ones still have their place.
If you want a really tight beam, the 10W devices probably still have their uses as long as they are cheap enough.
