How do you choose a torch when there is so many different style and designs available? I am not sure of the answer to that one but I definitely think you should consider the UB3T Invictus. The reason for this is that it has a particularly high-output LED illuminating capabilities with a variety of light levels, strobe, and SOS modes; everything you could possibly need in a torch
Designed with the end user in mind the UB3T Invictus has been manufactured with a CombatGrip which makes it ideal for situations where a torch will be used in conjunction with a handguns. For example, in 24 when Jack Bauer enters a dark building he will typically hold a handgun in one hand with a flashlight in the other illuminating his path. Jack Bauer would probably kill the enemy with the flashlight rather than the gun but that’s a different story altogether.
The CombatGrip offers excellent gripability whether the user has cold wet hands, warm sweaty, or even if they are wearing gloves. What makes it so comfortable is that it is manufactured from aerospace aluminum that has been anodized to produce a thicker natural oxide layer on the surface of the metal parts.
The Invictus torch produces a focused 800-Lumen beam of bright white light which is ideal for circumstances that require searching during extreme dark conditions such as search and rescue operations.
Eight settings to control light levels, specifically from 2 to 800 lumens means you have a light level to suit most conditions. Two other essential settings are the strobe mode and the SOS beacon. The strobe setting typically used for tactical missions must be used with caution as it can cause dizziness and nausea for a small percentage of people who suffer photosensitive epilepsy. The SOS beacon function is for use in emergencies for signaling your whereabouts to rescue workers.
Flashlight failure of the UB3T is almost impossible as there is no filament to burn out or snap. The UB3T claims to be more efficient providing much longer running times compared to similar devices with the same battery requirement.
This is no standard torch but a torch that will probably last a lifetime. At
$695.00 it has a lot to offer which you would expect at that price. This price includes high-energy 123A batteries with 10-year shelf life.
