![]() ![]() Other technologies such as thermal sensing and Infrared based visual aids, are ideal for their low impact on the dark environment/animal behaviour, but high costs and limited availability are big drawbacks. The filter also reduces brightness and throw of the light (both essential elements for night-spotting wildlife). On the flip side, everything appears red with a red filter – not ideal for observation, where colour might be critical for animal id and photography. ![]() This is where a red filter over the light helps, since a large part of mammalian vision sensitivity to low light is unaffected by red-light (rods that help see in low light, do not sense red light and hence their night vision remains intact). White light from torches (since rods are sensitive to them) negatively affects, albeit temporarily, among other things, their night vision – critical for their survival, either prey or predator. An understanding of basic biology suggests that mammals that are active at night, are especially adapted to see in low light (they have more rods in their eyes that enhances this capability). This especially holds true in the case of mammals, where a plethora of this ilk show up only under cover of darkness.įlash-lighting is the obvious solution for night-time viewing of mammals, with relatively inexpensive, widely available tools to facilitate the activity. ![]() The catch is that much of the splendours of the natural world occur under the cover of darkness – either in the deep depths of the ocean or at night, on land. Observation efforts at night, by flash-lighting, are obviously impactful activities, infringing upon a cover of darkness that nature’s beings have evolved to exist in over millions of years. Without a doubt, any attempt at observing wildlife, has some impact on the natural system – indirectly, at the very least. Only Firefly,Low, and Medium modes are available while charging.Author: Ravi Kailas ThruNite Catapult V6, supplied accessories (lanyard, usb charging cable, holster) plus Nitecore 60mm Red FilterĪn oft arising ethical dilemma for any nature enthusiast is where to ‘draw the line’ in pursuit of appreciating our natural world. When indicator flashes purple, it means abnormal charging. After being fully charged, the indicator will be BLUE. Rechargeable Function: Max 2A USB-C charging. Memory Function: The light will turn on in the last mode accessed, except firefly, turbo and Strobe. Double click to turn to Turbo from any mode. Shortcuts: When the light is off, long press the switch to get firefly mode. Turn ON/OFF: Single click the side switch to turn the light on/off.Ĭhange Modes: When the light is on, long press the side switch to cycle through Low, Medium and High. Note: The indicator will be OFF in firefly mode.ĬAUTION :Please screw down the light head and tail cap tightly before use. Holster*1,O-rings*2, Lanyard*1, THRUNITE 26650 battery*1, USB C Charging Cable*1, USB Rubber Cover*2, Side Switch Cap*1 Power Capacity *Please note: Due to generated heat, the Catapult SST70 will step down from turbo as noted.īattery: 1 x 26650 5000mAh lithium ion cell (included) Mode & Runtime (Tested with Thrunite 5000mAh 26650 Battery) ANSI/NEMA FL1 Parameters NOTE: The new Catapult V6 SST70 has a slight difference in max output & beam distance than the old Catapult V6 because of the new update of the latest LED. ![]() VERSATILE MULTI-USAGE: With six brightness levels (Firefly, Low, Medium, High, Turbo, and Strobe) the V6 is great in many scenarios such as hunting and rescue operations. The tactical knurling on the body is specially designed for a firm grip and the hidden lanyard hole and holster allow portability. RELIABLE AND DURABLE: Constructed from aerospace grade aluminum body, the rugged construction allows the Catapult V6 to withstand drops up to 1.5 meters with ease. USB C RECHARGEABLE: The V6 is powered by the included high capacity 5000mAh 26650 battery, which is easily recharged with the 2A charging port and provided charging cable. POWERFUL LONG THROW: The Catapult V6 can produce a maximum output of 2,836 lumens with an upgraded SST70 lens that produces a perfectly balanced beam with a distance up to 692 meters. The Thrunite Catapult V6 SST70 rechargeable thrower adopts the Luminus SST-70 LED for output up to 2836 lumens and max beam distance of 692 meters. ![]()
