Xenon Tactical
Can someone please explain the difference between Xenon and LED flashlights?
I would like to know how much of what color light is emited by each. I would also like to know which is beter to mount as a tactical light.
I cant quote you the color temperature of each (degrees Kelvin), But xenon is a traditional style filament ctually lamp), but the atmosphere inside the glass envelope (the bulb) is filled with xenon, an intert noble gas. Electricity passing through the filament makes it glow brightly in the xenon charged atmosphere. They require and consume more current, so the batteries wont last as long, but the light is extremely bright and of a high color temperature. the blinding brightness makes it ideal as a tac light.
LED is a light emitting diode and has no filiament to burn out or break. the LED is very durable, and withstands vibration, dropping etc much better. the technology has improved a lot and LEDs are much brighter than they were even 3 years ago. They consume very little current, so batteries last a very long time (i have an LED head lamp for hunting/camping, and on low i get 50 hours of use from 3 AAA batteries). The color temp will vary by mfg, but hey are generally a cooler color, sometimes almost appearing pale blue. I have found that most LED lamps use some form of magifiying lens to condense the beam, making it appear brighter.
I use LED's in my flashlights, but for overall brightness and intermittent use, the Xenon is a better choice.Check the lumen output, it should be over 200 for either.This isnt your off the walmart shelf light.
