This feature is so unique to the industry that it was granted a US Patent (US Patent No 6,966,668).

Most lights provide a conical light output which illuminates a subject in the form of a circle. These circular light spots are typically in the range of twelve degrees or less as they exit a standard incandescent bulb & reflector combination.

Accordingly, anyone with a flashlight, or an equivalent headlamp, will have to move the light around in order to see the surrounding area, where FoxFury’s Signature and Performance editions will cast a much larger light pattern that is basically rectangular in shape (elongated oval).

This allows the wearer to simply move their eyes, not their heads. Separate from the obvious advantages, such a time savings can prove critical in dangerous situations, like fire fighting.

The Figures below show the different colors of the spectrum, and the human eye’s ability to see them.

It shows that our eyes respond to colors that are mainly green, and least at the extremes of red and blue.

If a light source matches the output of each color to the curve shown, then that light will be optimal for the human eye. In other words, no light or energy is wasted because we cannot see it.

A light with too much energy beyond red is a real waste of energy, because we can't see it, but we call them incandescent bulbs. A light with too much energy beyond blue would also be a waste of energy, because we can’t see it, so we coat the insides with phosphors to change the emitted wavelengths to those we can see better- the basis of a typical fluorescent lamp. A light source with too little green will render less than optimal images and colors (i.e. typical of parking lot lights - that are pink or yellow).

White LED's are similar to fluorescent lamps in that the light source itself is a specific wavelength that is not too useful to the human eye (a deep blue). However, by adding phosphors over it, combined emitted spectrum of light is broad and continuous, which we perceive as white light.

Monocolored light

Involves a narrow spectrum of light. The result is light tailor-made for the specific application. Our Forensic, Hunting, Tactical and Desert editons make use of monocolored light. All other editions are polycolored.

Mixed Colored Light

FoxFury selects LED Color Combinations that enable Optimal Vision for specific environments and applications, approximating Photopic lighting, and benefiting the user. FoxFury's Application-Specific lighting is available in a variety of models, configurations, and color combinations. This approach provides solutions, which are optimized to fit specific needs.

Cyan	Search for Latent Prints
Green	Hunting or Latent Prints / Forensic
Green & Blue	Underwater Light Transmission --best for Scuba
Infrared	Tactical Applications and Forensic Photography
Red	Night Vision Adaptation--Desert Applications
UV	Search for Serological Evidence
White	Up Close Tactical or Inspection Lighting
White & Amber	Wildland Fire Fighting
White & Green	Optimal Color Mix for Human Eye (Photopic)--best for Outdoor and Fire use

Sensors placed above each eye match the Human eye response to light.

They respond similar to the human eye’s pupils and do so faster than our human eyes can respond.

Therefore, when an unexpected bright reflection from a: mirror, snow, water… is sensed, the sensors respond by dimming the lights (independently above each eye) to reduce eye discomfort to a minimum.

The Human eye is sensitive to light over a very large range (10,000,000 times) of light intensity. This allows us to adapt to very strong sunlight, or a very dark room.

Keeping with the idea of hands-free operation, the sensors can shutdown the LEDs completely when the ambient light illumination is sufficient, saving battery power for when it is needed…in the dark of the night

The FoxFury Intrinsically Safe Signature Editions are designed with a double "O"-Ring seal on the battery pack which is intended to render the product Intrinsically safe, or explosion proof. The battery pack also contains a fuse and fusible resistor.

This means that the act of using the light, including turning it on and off will not cause any explosions in hazardous gas filled environments, for example.

FoxFury has recieved formal UL 913 approval for these products. Please see Intrinsically Safe products.
