Today I’m going to tell you about 3 Huntlight LED flashlights from J.S. Burly’s that showed up in my mailbox.
Left to Right: FT-02X, FT-A2, FT-A3
Huntlight is the brand name for these very nice aircraft grade aluminum lights that run on regular alkaline batteries.
The FT-A3 is the smallest light, and runs on 1 AAA battery. It would make a great keychain light and fits perfectly in the little watch pocket that most jeans have. To turn it the FT-A3 on and off, you just tighten/untighten the light head. The middle sized flashlight is the FT-A2. This one is powered by 1 AA and has a serrated rubber button on the tail cap that is used to toggle power. FT-02X is the largest and is the one that stands out the most due to the fact that it is a convertible light.
The body of the FT-02X is made up of 3 parts. The light head, extension tube and tail cap. If you use the extension tube, the light runs on 2 AA batteries and is 6 inches in length.
Remove the extension tube and switch to 1 CR123A Lithium battery, and the flashlight shrinks down to 3.5 inches in length.
No matter which way you go, this light is bright.
A serrated rubber button on the end cap is the power switch.
The FT-02X was slated to take up permanent residence in my gear bag. That is until my Dad happened to see it this past weekend. He was really impressed, so I am going to give it to him for his birthday at the end of October :o)
All three of these lights are very nice quality flashlights. They put out a lot of light, are waterproof and feel great in your hand. They are nicely balanced and the hard anodized finish is smooth and cool to the touch.
