This lightweight, ultra rugged, ergonomic handheld HID Magnalight spotlight operates for 2.5 consecutive hours via a lithium-ion battery that takes approximately 4 hours to charge. The light can be used as a spot or flood light by simply adjusting the lens. This Magnalight spotlight ships with a 120VAC wall plug-in charger and long life 35 Watt High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulb. The unique reflector and lens configuration produces a 2800 foot beam in spotlight mode, giving it a 15 million retail candlepower rating. Backed by a 3 year warranty, our new Magnalight rechargeable handheld spotlight is ideal for work, security, hunting and spotting. The red lens is used primarily for hunting as nocturnal animals are much less aware of it's red beam output instead of the bright, white beam offered on our RL-85-HID model
“When it comes to hunting predators I want every advantage I can get. I trust my success to Magnalight. They are without a doubt the best spotlight you can find for night hunting.” - Dustin Butler, Team Foxpro
This handheld spotlight was designed for a specific purpose and the materials were chosen for the same purpose. There are many handheld lights with similar configuration, however we noticed that quality and durability does not meet the needs of most of our work oriented and industrial users. Also, many HID rechargeable spotlights claim to be light weight and portable but can weigh anywhere from 8-17lbs, our RL-85-HID weighs only 3lbs. 6oz and has a run-time of approx. 2.5 hours.
The handle and lamp housing support are made from high impact nylon. The polycarbonate lamp housing is thick and contoured for extra support. The 16 gauge internal wiring and connectors are simple and well constructed. The industrial grade, HID bulb is designed for 4500 hours of life while producing over 15 million candlepower in this configuration. The impact resistant polycarbonate lens is lightweight, shatter resistant and thermal resistant.
The reflector is uniquely shaped and shallow, capturing and focusing the light efficiently and effectively. Combined with a convex lens and inset lens positioning, this light optimally and efficiently captures and projects the right amount of light where the operator wants it. The position of the bulb and the shape of reflector are different than most handheld lighting products. The difference is in how much of the emitted light is captured and focused. In many ways, light shares the properties of the water. With many spotlights, a great deal of the light “spills” on the ground around the light source. While a beam continues to project, much of the light “spills” out around the source, robbing the desired, projected beam of its power. Often times, as much as 50 percent of the light is lost. In the Magnalight spotlight configuration, more than 90 percent of the emitted light is captured and focused. A side benefit of this is a reduction of “casting,” a phenomenon that occurs when the light “spills” around the light source. Often times, when surrounded by water, snow or other reflective surfaces, the light spillage will cause “casting” which effectively prevents the human eye from adjusting and seeing the objects at distance the spotlight was used to see.
The operator can lift the locking tab behind the lamp housing and rotate the lamp head. Rotating the housing enables the operator to adjust the beam from a wide, soft flood pattern to a tight, spot beam to goes out 2800 feet. Continued rotation to the extreme disconnects the lamp head from the handle assembly, enabling the operator to replace the bulb when necessary.
This ultra-durable rechargeable handheld HID spotlight weighs only 3lbs. 6oz., which makes it easy to carry and operate. The unit is balanced for ergonomic comfort and handling. The ergonomic handle is 4.5 inches long, 1.5 inches deep and 5/8 inch thick, making it easy to hold, even in wet, slipper conditions. The nylon handle has a no-slip textured surface to improve grip as well. The handle terminates in a lithium-ion battery pack which allows the fixture to run independently, cord-free for approx. 2.5 hours. The battery pack casing is approx. 4.5"L X 3.5"W X 2.5"D.
The booted push button switch is conveniently placed so the user can easily access the switch with their fore finger for quick on/off action.
The Magnalight spotlight is designed for easy field maintenance. Simple internal connectors are accessed through the snap in base at the bottom of the handle. The lamp housing is easily removed to access the bulb and wiring. No tools are required to change any part of the light, including the bulb. If operator purchases a spare battery, the battery can be interchanged in less than 20 seconds without the use of tools either. This Magnalight is truly field serviceable, without tools under any conditions.
This Magnalight spotlight has a lanyard attachment at the top of the handle for users that want to secure the light in the event they lose their grip.
The RL-85-HID-RED is a light that has become very popular in various types of hunting.
The materials used in the construction of the light are UV, water, impact and chemical resistant.
We now offer a 5 inch diameter and a 7 inch diameter lens. Although the difference is not significant, the 5 inch lens makes for a tighter spot beam. The 7 inch lens makes a wider coverage flood pattern.
