    Wolf Eyes Sn1per II Pro Ultra Torch

    Here’s a overview of the Wolf Eyes Sn1per II Pro Ultra torch — what it offers, how it’s built, and why many consider it a top-tier tactical torch.

    Overview and performance

    The Sn1per II Pro Ultra is a compact, high-intensity rechargeable LED torch aiming to deliver powerful, reliable light in a reasonably portable format. The headline spec is a maximum output of 1,620 lumens — quite bright for a handheld torch. According to the manufacturer, this light can cast a beam up to approximately 150 metres (throw), making it suitable for long-distance illumination or clear-line advantage use.

    The Sn1per II Pro Ultra uses a reflector head that generates a “spot surrounded by flood” beam pattern — meaning a focused central hotspot for distance, with peripheral flood light for broader visibility.

    Importantly, the “Ultra” designation means the LED is brighter than standard, but also remains at full output for the full advertised runtime — unlike many high-output torches that significantly drop brightness after brief bursts to manage heat.

    Modes and battery / runtime

    The torch offers multiple output levels: high, medium (or medium/low), low — plus two strobe modes (a slower “emergency” strobe and a fast “disorientating” strobe). The design of the tailcap (the “Procap”) allows pre-selecting the desired level before powering on — useful when you want low light for reading or a strobe for defensive/tactical situations.

    With the standard high-discharge 18650-type lithium-ion battery (model LRB168HDB), the torch provides about 1 hour 40 minutes of continuous light on high. On the lowest setting, runtime can stretch to as much as 55 hours. For those needing backup power, the torch can also be run using two disposable CR123A batteries (though those won’t reach maximum output).

    Because the torch is “regulated,” it maintains consistent light intensity even as the battery drains — thanks to the internal regulation circuitry which adjusts current to compensate for falling voltage.

    Build, heat management & durability

    Durability and thermal management are key strengths of the Sn1per II Pro Ultra. The body is made of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium with low-temperature hard anodising (in tactical black), providing toughness and resistance to wear and the elements. Inside the body is a “Thermal Transfer Tube” — a brass liner whose job is to draw heat away from the LED and dissipate it through the torch body itself. This helps the torch run high output continuously without overheating or damaging the LED.

    The body diameter is 25.4 mm (1 inch) — a standard size compatible with many mounts, and also comfortable for handheld or belt-mounted carry.

    Use cases & professional adoption

    Because of its compact size, bright output, robust build, and reliable performance, the Sn1per II Pro Ultra is widely adopted by professional services. According to its makers, the light is used by entire police forces (notably the entire force of one state police) as well as several specialist police and defence units across Australia. That level of official adoption speaks to trust in the torch’s reliability under demanding conditions — whether for law enforcement, patrol, security, or search-and-rescue operations.

    But the Sn1per II Pro Ultra isn’t just for professionals; it also serves well as a powerful general-purpose torch. For outdoor activities, rural work, property checks, or even camping — anywhere where dependable, illumination is needed — this torch delivers more power and flexibility than a typical household flashlight.

    Final thoughts

    The Wolf Eyes Sn1per II Pro Ultra strikes a strong balance between power, portability, and durability. Its 1,620-lumen output, 150 m throw, multiple modes, regulated output, and quality heat-management design make it a serious step up from average torches — and a legitimate tool for professional and demanding users. At the same time, its size and mode flexibility mean it’s versatile enough for general use too.

  • Wolf Eyes X-Beam Red Wildlife Observation Torch

    Wolf Eyes X-Beam Red Wildlife Observation Torch

    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.
