Full intensity controlled adjustable power output of the LED (adjust the brightness up and down)
A55iC KEY INNOVATIONS AND DIFFERENCES:
1. Wicked Lights Full Intensity Control Tail Cap
The Full Intensity Control Tail Cap out classes the competition with true full-range control of light intensity coupled with selectable "ON/OFF" to any light intensity level the user desires.
In lieu of using a poorly performing analog circuit design for dimming and intensity control like some competitors use, Wicked Lights uses advanced pulse-width modulation (PWM) technology which provides for a much smoother and wider ranging light intensity adjustment ability and eliminates skewing of LED color which plagues analog designs.
The mechanical tail cap design coupled with PWM circuit allows the user to adjust the light intensity to their exact intensity preference based on ambient light, distance to target animal, and animals reaction to the light (if any). Desirability of this design is easily realized when over a feeder or bait station and having the ability to pre-set the light intensity to the exact intensity for the distance - Not to bright, not to dim, just right, and then turn it "ON" to the exact intensity when needed. The PWM advantage is also easily demonstrated while scanning and having the ability to quickly adjust light intensity up or down based on the animals reactions.

2. Not All Light Bezels Are Created Equal:
-
Bezel Design: When considering a light for night hunting the first thing you should look at is the bezel design. Decorative scrolling and cut-outs on the lens retainer ring may look artistic and aesthetically pleasing to the uninformed buyer. However, they can cause big problems when in the field at night.
-
Adjustable Bezel Technology:
-
An exciting development in night hunting lights is the ability to adjust the beam. The advantage of the zoom focus beam is the ability to defuse the light for your initial scanning, once you see eyes you can quickly adjust the intensity up or bring it back down based on the target animals reaction (if any) to the light. Ideal technique would involve defusing the light down during initial scanning until eyes are spotted, then gradually bringing up the intensity to full power, positively identifying the animal, and if hunting with a partner they engage the target animal with a dedicated weapon mounted light, or if they not equipped, then illuminating the target animal with the A55iC light for the shot.
3. Not All Zoom Focus Lights or ZF Mechanisims Are Created Equal:
The Wicked Hunting Light A55iC utilizes a robust deep rotation grove for smooth transitions from flood to zoom. After careful consideration and extended field testing in very cold icy environments (Alaska, New York, Minnesota) the fine treaded style design was eliminated because of durability issues. Cold temperatures, frozen moisture and grease do not mix well with fine aluminum threads. Multiple fine threads also increase the effort, amount of hand twists, and time to rotate the bezel from flood to zoom or back. The deep groove also ensure no head wobble.
4. Not All Standard Light Features Are Created Equal:
-
The A55iC features a built in halo shield which minimizes inadvertent Illumination of personnel or equipment to the left and right of the operator.
-
Easy rotate bezel section which provides for complete control of light beam diameter and intensity in the range of one 360 degree rotation.
-
Includes the Full Intensity Control Standard Rheostat Tail Cap.
5. Not All Convex Lenses Are Created Equal:
-
The A55iC Ambush Lights® uses specially designed precision high magnification glass convex lens to focus and disperse light.
-
The A48iC Ambush Lights® Bezel is smaller (48mm) than the W403iC bezel (67mm).
-
The A48iC Ambush Lights® is also slightly shorter in length and weighs less.
6. Not All Light Output and Battery Run Times Are Created Equal:
-
The A55iC has excellent light output and will give you incredible range for how small and compact this light is.
-
The A48iC provides superb full power continuous run times for virtually all hunting conditions.
-
Battery runtime note: Each Wicked Hunting Lights A55iC kit includes Li-Ion 18650 Protected Circuit (PC) batteries. Because of battery manufacturer variances, particularly in the under voltage settings of batteries and exaggerated milli-amp hour rating (mAh), light operation times can vary significantly. For example one brand of battery could have a 3.2VDC under-voltage PC setting and another could be 2.5VDC, which will result in a longer light runtime for the latter. Because of these variables the light runtime will vary depending on battery, milli-amp hour rating (mAh), battery state of charge, and PC installed in battery. The chart reflects our testing results using high quality 18650 PCB 3200mAh batteries which we feel reflects a solid conservative indicator of battery life. Your results may vary.

*Approx battery life using high quality, fully charged, Wicked Lights 18650 3.7 Li-Ion 3200ma battery. Note: Battery quality varies widely between brands and ma ratings are often grossly exaggerated on cheap batteries. During our testing we noted the Wicked Lights branded 18650 3200ma batteries would last up to 2 times longer then many private label brands. Green, Red, and White Led may begin to dim after long periods of continuous operation (as battery discharges).
**Ambient light (moon phase), scope quality & power setting, LED color, battery state of charge, background foliage, rain, snow, and size and color of target species will all affect range.
***Manufacturer specifications are subject to change without notice.
