    Tui - it sounds like a useful package but need pics to see what light output is like. Seems to be something like this:

    https://torchfactory.com/torchfactory-t20

    A torch with an XPL-HI led and 54mm head could throw well, but being a zoomie it will have just a small light square when zoomed out for distance. This means almost no beam width for sweeping big fields at long range. When using zoomies you often need a second broader beam torch for long range scanning. This is why we tested but did not pursue zoom lights.

    We did a bit of testing several years ago on tints and from memory green travelled less distance than white led and did not help with spooky animals. Red travelled about half distance of green, but did appear to trouble bunnies less. But...we didn't do enough experimenting to provide conclusive findings.

    I don't think this light will have anything like the range and all-purpose usefulness of a maxtoch, but if you want to experiment with colours it could be good.
