Orphek Azurelite Flashlight Opinion (1 Viewer)

[emixa]

Good Day all.

It's been a while since I posted.

I recently went to the Frag fest at the St. Arnold brewery and it was pretty cool.

I came into a couple of things that are new to me. The orange glasses; which allow folks to truly see the color of corals. That was cool.

I also was introduced to a flashlight with a blue output. I saw the Orphek Azurelite 5 Watt LED Flashlight and another out there. I ready the description which states that it's supposed to allow one to view corals and other creatures. Illumination and picture taking. Also to assist with feeding corals.

My main question is there was once the red light to see things at night and now the blue light. So aside from that reason, what is the real importance of them. Which one is better? Also, maybe I missed something but at one point, was there not a light that had a red laser as well. It was used to point to certain things and also include a white flashlight as well as blue? I could be wrong and thinking up of a new idea....

Thanks for your input.

I bought an Orphek and it's great for looking at corals. Because curious, I later bought a blue LED on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Zoomable-Flashlight-CrazyFire-Handheld-Activities/dp/B00ZBI06LY

It's actually brighter than the Orphek, but it's using a regular blue LED whereas the Orphek uses a 450nm royal blue led. They both make coral's pop nicely.

Took this picture in the dark against a beige wall. Left is Amazon LED, right is Orphek

I use my Orphek all the time. I love looking at my coral with it after my lights go out. At home that is really all it's good for that I see. Just looking at your coral after lights out. I do want to buy a second one to keep in my car. I'm always wanting to use it at fish stores to see what coral looks like but mine is always by my tank LOL!

I mainly bought mine for that reason. To keep with me when I go coral shopping. I just never remember to grab it.

Elton,
You missed out on the Orphek/Diesel Christmas promotion Orphek Azurelite 5 Watt Blue LED Flashlight give away.
Every year I give a away 20 Orphek flashlights together with Orphek, this year they made a cool pouch as a idea from me with Scott in 2015, Scott left Orphek in 2016.
I'll give them to random members who make a good impression in the hobby on R2R.
Last year I gave away some as well at a Houston frag show.
They're always a great gift and most if not all using them to peek at their corals or fish when lights off, not as in your signature "Lights on!" LOL.

Here just a few in front of the sad looking slowly disappearing Diesel tank.

I really love the Orphek flashlight Santa Diesel gave me, I honestly never knew such vibrant colors were possible in my tank Like Mark, I like to look at my tank after lights out, the colors really pop!

I won one last year from a Diesel competition. I love it. It may not be as bright as the other light in this thread but I don't think it needs to be. I go looking for things that don't show up in the light. I find these spider web looking net things that are quite beautiful but I can never take a good picture of them.

Good idea Mark. I'm going to start bringing mine with me. And my yellow tint Goggles

Hopefully I can win one from santa [emoji318] Diesel this year . To keep one in my car.

Dang Ben, I didn't know Santa Diesel gave these away. I am missing out on all the good stuff. I will say that the frags that came during the last great diesel visit are going great. I will send you pics.
