The Wolf Eyes X-Beam Red LED Torch is an outstanding tool for wildlife observation, combining red and white LEDs in a single compact housing. One of its standout advantages is the 625 nm red wavelength, which is ideal for observing nocturnal animals without startling them. This makes it perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, researchers, and photographers who need to maintain a low-impact light source in natural settings.
Unlike torches that use filters over a white LED, the X-Beam Red actually has two separate LEDs — one red and one white — that are physically moved into position via a lever. This ensures each LED operates optimally in its specific wavelength, offering efficient performance without compromising beam quality.
In white mode, the torch delivers very wide and powerful illumination with a throw of up to 200 metres, allowing you to scan terrain or spotlight from a distance. In red mode, it reaches about 120 metres, giving you sufficient range for observation while preserving night vision.
Thermal management is another big plus: the torch is built around a brass thermal transfer tube, which helps draw heat away from the LED and dissipate it through the 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium body. This not only protects the LED but helps maintain consistent performance over long use.
Regulated circuitry means output remains steady as the battery drains, so you don’t suddenly lose brightness as the power level drops — a key benefit for reliability in the field.
It’s also versatile thanks to the ProCap, which lets you preselect your brightness before switching on — great for choosing low, non-blinding red output for observation or higher white output for emergencies.
The torch runs on a single protected 18650 lithium-ion battery, which is standard across Wolf Eyes products — making battery management easy and cost-effective.
Durability isn’t overlooked: it’s built from hard-anodised aluminium, rated to operate in temperatures from –20 °C to +60 °C, so it performs reliably in harsh outdoor conditions.
All told, the X-Beam Red is a purpose-built, high-performance torch for anyone serious about nocturnal observation, photography, or wildlife work — delivering both respectful red illumination and powerful white light for flexibility in the field.
