The Wolf Eyes T4 has all of the regular Wolf Eyes Tactical Torch features, but also has dual switches, both a tail & forward switch, as well as a UV LED underneath the forward switch. The dual switches means no retraining is needed between different operators when deployed in large organisations, whilst also giving operators a choice of ways to utilise the torch. The UV LED (standard 400nm wavelength but also available in 375nm wavelength) means documents can be checked for authenticity and also used for forensic applications such as revealing residual stains of bodily fluids or illuminating latent fingerprints. UV is often the first choice to examine biologically contaminated evidence as it is non destructive, before luminol or washing solutions are applied.
Light Output
The Wolf Eyes T4 puts out a large 855 lumens from it's three Cree LEDs giving a good mix of long distance spot and flood.The Ultraviolet LED is operable at the same time as the main high beam , low beam or by itself. The Ultraviolet LED is standard in 400nm wavelength but optionally available in 375nm wavelength.
Beam Pattern
The beam of the Wolf Eyes T4 is designed for fast target acquisition. To this end it has a bright hotspot surrounded by spill light. This means you can aim the hotspot at your target, if your target moves they are still within your beam, you only have to move your light directly onto them, rather than searching in the darkness with a pencil beam. The Wolf Eyes T4 is pre-focussed between 0 - 110 metres, as focussing takes valuable time and of course if a torch is focussed for 15 metres it will not be in focus at 100 metres.
Construction
The Wolf Eyes T4 has an incredibly rugged construction, probably unlike most other torches or flashlights commonly used in Australia in police or military work. Constructed of aircraft grade aluminium with a brass liner, the T4 is designed to have a 25.4mm (1") diameter body, making it both easy to hold and easy to mount, 1" being the standard firearm mounting size. The Wolf Eyes T4 is a high output torch with modest size. Most people don't realise that LEDs put out considerable heat, but unlike an incandescent torch which projects the heat out the front, LEDs heat the base they are mounted on. Overheating an LED results in permanent damage and reduced light output for the life of the LED. To remove the possibility of damage to your LED, Wolf Eyes have a brass liner inside the torch and a substantial aircraft aluminium body. The brass liner, as well as maintaining high electrical conductivity, mates to the mount of the LED and conducts heat along the body of the torch or flashlight, using the mass of the body as a heatsink to dissapate the heat.
Regulation
Wolf Eyes torches are regulated, meaning they don't dim or lose intensity like many other torches including other LED torches. The regulation has two advantages, it means the power to the LED is consistent, so the LED will be running at it's optimum with the battery being boosted as it is being depleted, the second advantage is you don't overboost the LED which can permanently damage it, this happens with torches not designed for rechargeable batteries or accumulators. Of the 50 minutes runtime of high intensity light this torch is capable of, the first 43 minutes is regulated, with a slight dimming in the last minutes.
Australian Approved Charger
The Wolf Eyes U2 Ultraviolet LED Tactical Torch comes complete with rechargeable battery and Australian approved charger. We have noticed a number of torches on the Australian market with non approved chargers. The advantage of an Australian approved charger is that it is both safe and legal to connect to an Australian power supply, meaning it meets OH&S requirements and also your insurance is ok in a residential or business situation.
Rechargeable Batteries
The battery utilised in the T4 Ultraviolet LED torch is the LRB168A (18650) rechargeable lithium ion battery. Utilised predominantly in notebooks, this battery provides large outputs (including rapid discharge high amp outputs) from a relatively compact package. So powerful is this battery that it powers the Tesla Roadster electric car (an electric car built on a Lotus Elise chassis with a 0-100kmh time of 3.9 seconds). One huge advantage of the Wolf Eyes T4 UV LED flashlight is that it has been built with these rechargeables in mind, rather than disposable CR123 batteries (which cost $10 each in shops in Aus).
All Wolf Eyes batteries are protected, meaning they have a small computer chip built in to one end, this controls charging and discharging, designed to reduce the risks of powerful batteries. We have seen lithium ion batteries explode and would never sell an unprotected version.
Environmentally, rechargeable batteries are a winner. Like most quality lithium ion batteries, our rechargeable batteries are rated for 1,000 recharges under ideal conditions. Even if you took 500 recharges as a reasonable figure, each rechargeable battery you use would save 2,000 AAA batteries, 1,500 C cell batteries or 1, 000 CR123 batteries from landfill, a wothwhile saving (based on a 2 x CR123, 3 x C cell or 4 x AAA torch providing similar runtime). Even if the environment isn't your priority when purchasing a torch or flashlight, the financial saving is huge and as a bonus you get to feel good about the environment.
