Lightforce have recently released a new, compact mini-spotlight system which will quickly and simply attach to a rifle or shotgun for night hunters; it doesn’t require any leads or a separate battery pack to operate. Referred to as the PRED-3X its extremely lightweight and made of high grade 6061 aluminium. Featuring a toughened, ultra-clear glass lens and specially treated aluminium reflector for focused beam and maximum light transmission, it offers a 220 Lumen LED with 50,000 hours life span via 2 x rechargeable batteries housed within the unit. This light has been fitted with authentic CREE chips Colour Rendering Index (CRI), chosen for its ability to produce a neutral, white light, resulting in superior target acquisition and colour definition.
I’m told the two fully charged batteries will provide up to 90 minutes of maximum light intensity, while the unit will also operate using only a single battery for reduced operating time. The Pred3X can also be connected to an external power source via the USB cable provided for extended periods. This cable also acts as a charging unit when the batteries require recharging via any 5 volt supply like a mobile phone charger or computer. The centre of the on/off switch actually features an indicator which turns red when the batteries are being charged and once fully charged the light simply goes out. Re-charging time is approximately 3 hours.
To Affix the Pred3X to a firearm, the unit comes complete with a quick release mechanism that attaches to a supplied scope ring via Picatinny/Weaver attachment.
