I am looking for a flashlight primarily to search for owls and night birds in the forests of Southeast Asia. Will this do the job for me?

Short answer is yes. This is a fantastic and well built bright light. You will not be disappointed. I carry two as backup lights while diving, and they have not failed me even after numerous numerous dives.

I think it will be great for that! It is very compact but the brightest flashlight I have ever owned. It has a focused beam which would be excellent for spotting birds.

This is meant more for diving, so it will probably do the trick for you but I'm sure there's a better flashlight out there that's designed for that purpose

yes, I have used it on walks in the forest to spot deer and birds. its a great buy

I think it would be overkill. It is a tactical light so is heavy and wider than average flashlight. Something much smaller would be easier to handle and right one would illuminate well.

You can lower the intensity of the beam, and strobe it if that's what you mean. That's about all the functions. I use across 3 acres at night to find my dogs and at work on night shift.

I added this to a rifle I sold to Valley gun...a while back, I never used it for night hunts for wild boar. I would not assume that such features existed powerful on this scope. It was a very inexpensive buy, look for a laser application whether selling or giving it as a gift or you use it.

the one i have works well. very bright light. used it to hunt down a squirrel in my attic. it will be back on my sailboat if spring ever gets here. i intend to get another for my car. be sure to press the on/off button firmly until it clicks.

The range finder is laser so that part should work just fine. This is not a night scope so do not expect to be able to see any more than you could through a set of binoculars.

It depends on weather conditions, like fog. But I would compare it's brightness to the 2 AA maglite flashlight.

I don't know. This was an item on my son's wish list. He is an aircraft mechanic and I am pretty sure he uses it to get into some tight spots while working on planes. He says it's a very bright flashlight and likes it. Sorry I can't really answer your question.

Pretty vague question. Dissapointed that I even got an email notification about this, furthermore that I am even taking time to answer it. But I'd say if you were just trying to get into 'crannies' then a regular hand held flashlight would work. If you are getting into 'nooks' also, then this headlamp is a must. Will take you to the next level. Maybe buy 3. And attach them to the same belt and point towards the sides. For good panoramic exploration.

I think so, but it does not focus down like other led flashlights. I like the battery in this one. Little more power. Definitely a bright light though.

This is not a pencil strobe light - it gives off red light like any flashlight. This is an excellent flashlight - one of the best!!!! Most of us use this type of light for hunting. Usually about 100 to 200 yards from our blinds we would use this light to find our way. Deer and specific other animals do not see color - and the red does not spook them. Use a white light and the animals know you are there and they are gone.

I had similar hopes for the device, but it's not quite as magical as that. If a flashlight won't go through it, chances are heat radiation won't either. Mist and fog are an exception due to a quirk of water molecule resonance in the wavelength of 8-12nm. (I think I remember those numbers correctly). Woods are tricky because the branches all blur together and it's hard to make out even a raccoon through much brush at all. No dice on walls. You might be able to spot a critter hiding in a tree, but the auto-exposure wigs out a little when you look up at the sky.

YES IR flash works okay at night a few of my pics I could not see very far into the field and couldn't see animal well

I would say yes. I am having trouble finding mine at the moment. I liked mine because it was a lot lighter than my old battery lantern. But I also bought 2 led lights at Lowe's that are still in my backpack. They are basically an aluminum tube with 3 batteries and 4 LED's with a removable plastic/magnetic base. They are great too. I would look for those!

It has a powerful, focused beam that should be exactly what you're looking for. It also has wide angle light at the same time. It's one truly awesome light!

I would think it would be perfect. The light has three settings - you just click the button on the right side on the lamp to get the level of beam you need. My son used it on a trip to the cloud forest in Ecuador and he reports that it provided good light in those conditions. Hope this helps!
