Āhea ka manawa hope loa āu i kūʻai ai i kahi kukui uila hou? Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomanaʻo, ua hiki paha ka manawa e hoʻomaka ai e kūʻai a puni.
Kanalima mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hana ʻia ke kukui uila kiʻekiʻe loa i ka alumini, ʻeleʻele pinepine, he poʻo ʻākoakoa kukui i huli ʻia e hoʻopili pono i ke kukuna a hoʻohana i ʻelua a ʻeono mau pila, ʻo C a i ʻole D-cell. He kukui kaumaha ia a ua like ka maikaʻi me ke koʻokoʻo, kahi i loaʻa ai ka nui o nā luna i ka pilikia i ka wā i ulu ai nā manawa a me nā ʻenehana. E lele i mua i kēia manawa a ʻo ka kukui uila maʻamau o ka luna he emi ma mua o ʻewalu ʻīniha ka lōʻihi, ua like ka like me ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka polymer e like me ka alumini, loaʻa kahi ʻākoakoa kukui LED a me nā hana/pae kukui he nui i loaʻa. ʻO kekahi ʻokoʻa? ʻO ke kukui uila 50 mau makahiki i hala aku nei he $25 ke kumukūʻai, he nui ka nui. ʻO nā kukui uila o kēia lā, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hiki ke kumukūʻai he $200 a ua manaʻo ʻia he ʻaelike maikaʻi. Inā ʻoe e uku i kēlā ʻano kālā, he aha nā hiʻohiʻona hoʻolālā āu e ʻimi nei?
Ma ke ʻano he kānāwai, e ʻae kākou he pono nā kukui uila hana a pau e liʻiliʻi a māmā hoʻi i mea e maʻalahi ai ke lawe ʻia. "ʻElua he hoʻokahi a ʻo kekahi ʻaʻohe," he axiom ia o ka palekana hana e pono ai kākou e ʻae. Me kahi o 80 pakeneka o nā pana pua a nā mākaʻi e hana nei i nā kūlana haʻahaʻa a ʻaʻohe kukui paha, he mea pono ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi kukui uila me ʻoe i nā manawa a pau i ka wā e hana ana. No ke aha i ka wā o ka hana ao? No ka mea, ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike i ka wā e lawe ai ke kūlana iā ʻoe i loko o ka lua pouli o kahi home, kahi hale kūʻai hakahaka kahi i pio ai ka mana a i ʻole nā kūlana like ʻē aʻe. Pono ʻoe e loaʻa kahi kukui uila me ʻoe a pono ʻoe e loaʻa kahi kākoʻo. ʻAʻole pono e manaʻo ʻia ke kukui i kau ʻia ma ka mea kaua ma kāu pūkuniahi he hoʻokahi o nā kukui uila ʻelua. Inā ʻaʻole i kūpono ka ikaika make, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e ʻimi me kāu kukui i kau ʻia ma ka mea kaua.
Ma keʻano laulā, ʻaʻole pono e ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o nā kukui uila lima o kēia wā ma mua o ʻewalu ʻīniha. Inā lōʻihi aʻe ia, e hoʻomaka lākou e ʻoluʻolu ʻole ma kou kāʻei pū. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻehā a ʻeono ʻīniha, a mahalo i ka ʻenehana pila o kēia wā, ua lawa kēlā lōʻihi e loaʻa ai kahi kumu mana kūpono. Eia kekahi, mahalo i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻenehana pila, hiki ke hoʻouka hou ʻia kēlā kumu mana me ka makaʻu ʻole i nā pahū nui ʻana, ka wela nui ʻana a/a i ʻole ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka hoʻomanaʻo e hoʻopau ai i ka hana ʻole o ka pila. ʻAʻole koʻikoʻi ka pae hoʻopuka pila e ʻike ʻia e like me ka pilina ma waena o ka hana pila ma waena o nā hoʻopiʻi a me ka hoʻopuka ʻana o ke kukui.
Hāʻawi ka kukui uila XT DF na ASP Inc. i kahi kukui uila ikaika, 600 lumens o ka hoʻomālamalama mua, me kahi pae kukui lua i hiki ke hoʻolālā ʻia e ka mea hoʻohana ma 15, 60, a i ʻole 150 lumens, a i ʻole strobe. ASP Inc. He mea o ka wā i hala nā kukui incandescent no nā kukui uila tactical. He maʻalahi lākou e haki a he "lepo" loa ka puka kukui. I ka wā i komo mua ai nā ʻākoakoa LED i ka mākeke kukui tactical i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua manaʻo ʻia he 65 lumens ka mālamalama a ʻo ka pae haʻahaʻa loa o ka puka kukui no kahi kukui tactical. Mahalo i ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻenehana, loaʻa nā ʻākoakoa LED e hoʻokuke ana i 500+ lumens a ʻo ka manaʻo nui i kēia manawa ʻaʻohe mea e like me ka nui o ka mālamalama. Aia ke kaulike e loaʻa ma waena o ka puka kukui a me ke ola pākaukau. ʻOiai makemake mākou a pau e loaʻa kahi kukui 500-lumen e mau ana no nā hola he ʻumikūmālua o ka manawa holo, ʻaʻole ia he mea maoli. Pono paha mākou e noho no kahi kukui 200-lumen e holo ana no nā hola he ʻumikūmālua. Ma ke ʻano maoli, ʻaʻole loa mākou e pono e hoʻā ʻia kā mākou kukui uila no kā mākou hana piha, me ka pau ʻole, no laila pehea e pili ana i kahi kukui 300- a 350-lumen me kahi pila e hiki ke mau no ʻehā hola o ka hoʻohana mau ʻana? ʻO kēlā hui kukui/mana like, inā mālama pono ʻia ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kukui, pono e mau no kekahi mau hana.
ʻO kahi pōmaikaʻi hou aʻe o nā ʻākoakoa kukui LED ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau nā kaohi hoʻouna mana he mau kaapuni kikohoʻe e hiki ai ke hana hou aku ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻā ʻana a me ka pio ʻana. Hoʻomalu mua ka kaapuni i ke kahe o ka mana i ka ʻākoakoa LED e pale aku iā ia mai ka wela nui ʻana a hoʻoponopono i ke kahe o ka mana e hāʻawi i kahi pae kukui hilinaʻi like. Ma waho aʻe o kēlā, hiki i ka loaʻa ʻana o kēlā kaapuni kikohoʻe ke hiki i nā hana e like me:
No kahi o iwakālua mau makahiki i hala iho nei, mai ka wā i hōʻike ai ka Surefire Institute mua a me ka BLACKHAWK Gladius flashlight ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka hiki o kahi kukui strobing ma ke ʻano he mea hana hoʻololi ʻano, ua lilo nā kukui strobe i mea kaulana. He mea maʻamau i kēia manawa no kahi kukui uila ke loaʻa kahi pihi hana e hoʻoneʻe i ke kukui ma o ka mana kiʻekiʻe i ka mana haʻahaʻa i ka strobing, i kekahi manawa e hoʻololi i ke kauoha ma muli o ka pono o ka mākeke i ʻike ʻia. Hiki i kahi hana strobe ke lilo i mea hana ikaika me ʻelua mau caveats. ʻO ka mea mua, pono ke alapine kūpono o ka strobe a ʻo ka lua, pono e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ka mea hoʻohana i ka hoʻohana ʻana. Me ka hoʻohana pono ʻole, hiki i kahi kukui strobe ke loaʻa ka hopena nui i ka mea hoʻohana e like me ka hopena ma ka pahuhopu.
ʻIke loa, he mea hopohopo mau ke kaumaha ke hoʻohui mākou i kahi mea i kā mākou kāʻei pū a ke nānā mākou i ka pono no ʻelua mau kukui uila, e pāpālua ka hopohopo no ke kaumaha. ʻO kahi kukui lima lima maikaʻi i kēia ao e kaupaona wale nō i kekahi mau auneke; ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka hapalua paona. Inā he kukui alumini lahilahi a i ʻole kekahi i hana ʻia me ka polymer, ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kaumaha ma lalo o ʻehā auneke ʻaʻole ia he pilikia nui i hāʻawi ʻia i nā palena nui.
Ma muli o ka makemake o kahi ʻōnaehana mana hiki ke hoʻouka hou ʻia, ua nīnau ʻia ka ʻōnaehana hoʻopaʻa. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ka ʻole e wehe i nā pila e hoʻouka hou iā lākou, no laila inā hiki ke hoʻouka hou ʻia ke kukui uila me ka ʻole o ka hana ʻana pēlā, he hoʻolālā makemake nui ʻia ia. Inā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻouka hou ʻia ke kukui a laila pono e loaʻa nā pila keu no kahi luna i kēlā me kēia manawa hana. He mea maikaʻi loa nā pila Lithium no ka loaʻa ʻana o ke ola lōʻihi akā ma lalo o kekahi mau kūlana hiki ke paʻakikī ke loaʻa, a i ka wā e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe, hiki ke pipiʻi. Hoʻoikaika ka ʻenehana LED o kēia lā i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pila AA maʻamau ma ke ʻano he lako mana me ka palena ʻaʻole lākou e lōʻihi e like me ko lākou mau hoahānau lithium, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kumukūʻai a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka loaʻa.
Ma mua, ua ʻōlelo mākou i ka circuitry kikohoʻe e hoʻoikaika ana i nā koho kukui multi-function a ʻo kekahi ʻenehana e ulu nei e hoʻoikaika ana i kēlā hiʻohiʻona maʻalahi / kaohi: ka pilina niho polū. Pono kekahi mau kukui "programmable" iā ʻoe e heluhelu i ka manual a ʻike i ke kaʻina kūpono o ke kaomi ʻana i ke pihi e hoʻolālā i kāu kukui no ka mana mua, nā palena kiʻekiʻe/haʻahaʻa a me nā mea hou aku. Mahalo i ka ʻenehana niho polū a me nā polokalamu kelepona akamai, i kēia manawa aia nā kukui ma ka mākeke e hiki ke hoʻolālā ʻia mai kāu kelepona akamai. ʻAʻole wale ia mau polokalamu e ʻae iā ʻoe e kaohi i ka hoʻolālā ʻana no kāu kukui akā e ʻae iā ʻoe e nānā i nā pae pākahiko.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma ka hoʻomaka ʻana, hele mai kēia mau kukui hou a pau, ka mana a me ka maʻalahi o ka papahana me ke kumukūʻai. ʻO kahi kukui tactical maikaʻi, hana kiʻekiʻe, hiki ke hoʻonohonoho ʻia hiki ke kumukūʻai ma kahi o $200. ʻO ka nīnau e hiki mai ana i ka noʻonoʻo a laila ʻo kēia - Inā ʻoe e ʻike i kekahi mau kūlana kukui haʻahaʻa a ʻaʻohe kukui i ka wā o kāu mau hana, a inā he 80 pakeneka ka manawa e loaʻa ai kekahi hālāwai ikaika make iā ʻoe i loko o ia ʻano, ua mākaukau ʻoe e hoʻokomo i ka $200 ma ke ʻano he kulekele ʻinikua ola?
Hāʻawi ke kukui uila XT DF na ASP Inc. i kahi kukui uila ikaika, 600 lumens o ke kukui mua, me kahi pae kukui lua e hiki ke hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ka mea hoʻohana ma 15, 60, a i ʻole 150 lumens, a i ʻole strobe.
