There are certain things you just don’t leave the house without. Usually your wallet and phone, and for me, there’s always a watch (of some sort) and a pocketknife on my person. A flashlight, that’s much less common unless I have a backpack with me. Then there’s the Septem Hunt Pro, which makes the thought of daily carrying a flashlight much more palatable.
Septem Hunt Pro: what it is
First and foremost, let’s set the stage here. If you read through the Kickstarter campaign, you’ll see that they’re calling the Septem Hunt Pro a multi-function flashlight. At one level, this is very true, with the various lighting functions you can call into play. What’s less precise is how they’re attempting to position this as a multi-tool, with the wedge on the end of the light.
Sure, the titanium is tough, and yeah, this would be helpful for scraping a layer off of something or maybe opening tape on a box. Past that, though, that really shouldn’t be how you view this device. It’s a flashlight – it’s not a multi-tool. Use it and treat it as a flashlight, you’ll be good to go.
The Lighting
The Septem Hunt Pro has five different colors of LEDs built in, all for different purposes:
- White light for clear, powerful illumination and everyday visibility.
- Red light to protect your night vision while stargazing or reading maps.
- UV light for spotting the unseen—like scorpions, counterfeit bills, or mystery stains on the couch.
- Green and blue lights for low-light tasks like fishing, tactical use, or preserving detail.
In conjunction with those, you’ve got (11) different lighting modes, across the different bulbs, including SOS and beacon modes. Some of these are what we’d expect from a white LED (basically, different brightnesses) and the red bulb (this is where SOS and beacon come in), with the blue, green, and UV LEDs having a single mode to them.
The hard specs
The outer shell of the Septem Hunt Pro is quite nice, made out of anodized Grade 5 titanium (with a wide variety of finishes available), and is setup to receive a removable clip. The clip, of course, keeps the light in place in your pocket, on a strap, or even on your shirt or cap. Additionally, it’s got a magnet built into it, meaning you can easily get this stuck on a surface to work hands-free.
Inside that case, you’ve got a 120mAH polymer battery (recharged via USB-C) good for 300 charge cycles, with a maximum run time of 15 hours before needing a recharge. For the occasional use, that means this light is going to be around for the long haul. The one question here is what happens down the line, if that battery will be replaceable when it’s capacity is toasted, or if you’re left with a fancy chunk of titanium.
Wrapping things up
If you want to get your own Septem Hunt Pro, you’ve got some time. The campaign runs until March 7, 2025, with shipments expected for June (so just in time for camping season to get into swing). There are still earlybird options starting at £59 (approx $74), and the campaign is fully funded as of this writing. Check out all the details, and back yours, over at Kickstarter.
