Bushnell T300L HD
Declaration & Thanks:
This light was purchased by me for the purpose of this review
Conclusion Summary:
Very unique and interesting light with some good usable performance to back it up.
Manufacture Specs:
Info about my reviews and testing:
I like to keep my reviews fairly informal and not overly technical. There are plenty of talented people with fancy measuring devices to offer more technical detail. What I want to do is give an honest appraisal of owning and using this torch, and what a regular punter will make of it.
What’s in the box?
You get the light and a set of Duracell AA’s.
Exterior Design & Ergonomics:
Fit, finish and feel of the light is good. Different maybe to most of the lights we are used too. But good none the less.
Beam:
See the YouTube video for more on the light.
This flashlight is all about it’s “square” beam.
I’m not certain how it attains this, but I suspect it s a combination of lenses and a filter to achieve the profile. I also don’t know what LED (s) are used or how many. Looking through the lens you can see multiple LEDs, however I don’t know if there are, or if it’s simply reflections of a single LED.
I can detect no PWM on the light and the tint is very very good.
The beam is large and super clear when in use. Affective use is 10-50 yards. Up close the beam is too small to be much use and it doesn’t have the throw for big distances, but mid range is it’s sweet spot.
The light is about the size of a 2D Maglite:
Fit & finish is good. Rubberised grips, tail stands. Head appears to be secured by bolts.
Runs on 4xAA batteries:
Has a dual switch layout, one for the Red light and the other for the main light. Both are forward clickies with momentary.
The lens and beam. You can see the square filter and at some angles it looks like multiple LEDs, but could be reflections.
Up close the beam looks odd and mirrors those multiple LEDs:
But move the light a little further away and you get a perfect square:
Beam works well outside:
