## How do I choose the best colour filter for my torch? 

When choosing a torch filter, it is essential to first decide what you want to use the torch for. Red filters are ideal for maintaining your night vision during night navigation or map reading. Green filters are perfect for wildlife observation, as animals are less likely to react to green light. Blue filters increase contrast and make blood traces more visible, making them useful for hunters and researchers. 

 

### Check compatibility 

Not every filter fits every torch. Pay attention to the diameter of the lamp head and choose a filter that matches it. For example, the Fenix AOF-S+R red filter is suitable for torches with a head diameter of 25.4 mm. Always check the specifications of both your torch and the filter to ensure a proper fit. 

 

### Choose quality 

Invest in filters from reputable brands such as Fenix or Nitecore. These are made of durable materials and offer consistent light quality. Cheap alternatives can reduce the torch's light output or the filter can quickly damage. A high-quality filter ensures optimum light transmission and prolongs the lifespan of your torch. The filter does this by protecting the lens from damage, reducing overheating, saving energy and reducing wear and tear from heavy use.
