Colour Filters & Signal Cones
Ledlenser colour filter caps and signal cones extend the capability of compatible torches for safety, signalling and specialist lighting applications. Colour filter caps convert a standard white beam to red, green or blue output — preserving night vision, reducing glare and enabling tactical and outdoor colour modes on torches without built-in multi-colour capability. Signal cones transform a focused torch beam into a broad, visible safety light for roadside, site and emergency use.
Colour Filter Caps and Signal Cones for Ledlenser Torches
Two of the most practically useful accessories in the Ledlenser range, colour filter caps and signal cones extend what a compatible torch can do — adding colour output capability and broad-area safety signalling to models that wouldn't otherwise have them. Both are straightforward to attach, precision-engineered for a secure fit on compatible Ledlenser models and built to the same quality standards as the torches they support.
Colour Filter Caps — Add Red, Green or Blue Light to Any Compatible Torch
Ledlenser colour filter caps are physical attachments that fit over the head of a compatible torch, converting the standard white LED beam to red, green or blue output. They are the most cost-effective way to add multi-colour capability to a torch that doesn't include built-in colour modes — significantly extending the versatility of an existing model for a fraction of the cost of a new torch.
Colour filter caps are available in multiple sizes to fit different torch head diameters across the Ledlenser range. Check individual product listings for confirmed compatibility with your specific model before purchase.
When to Use Each Colour
Each colour filter serves distinct and practical purposes across different professional and outdoor applications:
- Red filter — the most widely used colour filter across the range. Red light preserves night vision — the natural adaptation of your eyes to low-light conditions — allowing you to illuminate your immediate surroundings without the several minutes of readjustment required after white light exposure. Essential for fishing, outdoor navigation, military and tactical use, astronomy, wildlife observation and any activity where maintaining natural dark adaptation is operationally important. Red light is also less disruptive to others in shared outdoor environments.
- Green filter — green light is less visible to many animals than white or red light, making it the preferred choice for wildlife observation, nature photography and hunting applications. Green light also preserves night vision more effectively than white light, though less so than red. Used in certain tactical and military applications where red light would be too visible to others.
- Blue filter — blue light has specific professional applications including forensic inspection, certain medical and veterinary uses and UV-adjacent examination tasks. Also used in specific tactical and signalling scenarios. Less commonly used than red or green for general outdoor applications.
Signal Cones — Convert Your Torch into a Safety Warning Light
Ledlenser signal cones attach to the head of a compatible torch and diffuse the focused beam into a broad, highly visible area light — transforming a standard torch into a practical safety warning device without requiring separate equipment. The cone shape distributes light in a wide, visible pattern suitable for use as a roadside warning light, site safety marker or emergency scene indicator.
Signal cones are available in standard safety orange and in red, providing the recognised colour coding for roadside and site safety use. For professionals who carry a Ledlenser torch as standard kit, a signal cone adds meaningful safety capability at minimal additional cost and weight.
Professional and Outdoor Applications
Colour filter caps and signal cones serve a broad range of users and working environments:
- Breakdown and roadside recovery — signal cones provide immediate roadside visibility for recovery crews working in low-light conditions without requiring a separate warning light device
- Construction and site safety — signal cones used for temporary site safety marking, pedestrian warning and hazard indication during out-of-hours work
- Military and tactical use — red and green colour filter caps for tactical lighting discipline, position marking and low-visibility operations
- Fishing and angling — red colour filter caps for night vision preservation during night fishing sessions; consistent with how red light is used across the Ledlenser fishing range
- Outdoor and expedition use — red filter caps for camp navigation and map reading without disrupting night vision or disturbing fellow campers
- Emergency response — signal cones for scene illumination and safety marking; colour filter caps for low-visibility operational lighting
- Wildlife observation and nature photography — green filter caps for minimising disturbance to animals during observation in low-light conditions

Colour Filter Cap and Signal Cone FAQs
What is a torch colour filter cap?
A torch colour filter cap is a physical accessory that attaches to the head of a compatible torch, converting the standard white LED beam to a specific colour — typically red, green or blue. Ledlenser colour filter caps are precision-engineered to fit compatible torch head diameters securely, providing a reliable colour output without affecting the torch's core performance. They are the most cost-effective way to add multi-colour capability to a Ledlenser torch that does not have built-in colour modes, significantly extending its versatility for outdoor, tactical, professional and safety applications.
Why is red light better for night vision than white light?
The human eye's rod cells — responsible for low-light vision — are relatively insensitive to red wavelengths of light. This means red light allows you to illuminate your immediate surroundings without triggering the pupil contraction and photoreceptor bleaching that white light causes, which can take 20 to 30 minutes to fully recover from in darkness. Using a red filter cap or red light mode preserves your natural night vision, allowing you to switch between illuminated close-range tasks and unaided low-light awareness without the recovery period required after white light exposure.
How do I know which colour filter cap fits my Ledlenser torch?
Ledlenser colour filter caps are available in multiple sizes to fit different torch head diameters across the range. Check the individual product listing for the colour filter cap you are considering — compatible models are listed alongside the head diameter the cap is designed to fit. If you are unsure which size fits your specific torch model, contact our team at webstore@ledlenser.co.uk with your torch model name or number for confirmation before purchase.
What is a signal cone used for?
A Ledlenser signal cone attaches to the head of a compatible torch and diffuses the focused beam into a broad, highly visible area light for safety warning and emergency signalling use. Common applications include roadside visibility for breakdown recovery crews, temporary safety marking on construction sites, emergency scene illumination and campsite or trail safety marking. Signal cones are available in safety orange and red — the standard safety colours for roadside and site use. They add practical safety capability to an existing torch without requiring a separate warning light device.
Can I use colour filter caps with any Ledlenser torch?
Colour filter caps are compatible with a wide range of Ledlenser torch models but not the entire range — compatibility depends on the head diameter of the specific torch. Check individual product listings for confirmed compatible models before purchase. For torches with built-in multi-colour capability — including select Signature Series and Work Series models — colour filter caps are not required as the colour modes are already integrated. For torches without built-in colour modes, a colour filter cap is the most practical way to add this capability.
