Lights.com—Flashlights
For most people, flashlights are something that they only think about when they are most needed. For these people, these lights sit in a drawer or glove compartment someplace waiting for an emergency. Then they are pulled out for a power outage or car breakdown and greatly appreciated.
For other people, professionals in the law enforcement or search and rescue fields, flashlights are a part of the equipment that is needed to do their job. For these people, every day is an emergency. Whether they are chasing a criminal through a dark alley or looking for injured in a rainstorm, these professionals cannot afford to have a light that does not function at 100 percent at all times. These people demand flashlights that produce bright, concentrated beams of light and can take the abuse of rugged working conditions.
Why Professional Flashlights Are Better
The lights developed for these professionals incorporate technology that elevates them above the standard of normally used lights found in cupboards and toolboxes. Constructed of space age materials and using advanced lighting solutions, these flashlights are lighter, tougher, brighter and last longer than ordinary flashlights. Of all the companies that produce these super flashlights, the most pre-eminent is a company called Pelican Products.
Pelican's professionally flashlights are commonly used by the U.S. Military, Police, Fire Departments, and Search & Rescue Teams around the world. That's because these lights offer more brightness, quality, and safety than other brands. They are nearly indestructible, and feature computerized spot reflectors to provide clean, focused wide beams of bright light.
Flashlights Basics
Pelican's flagship lights are the Black Knight series for law enforcement professionals and the Stealthlite and Big Ed series, which are designed for firefighters. But the advanced technology that Pelican puts into these lights is available in their entire line. Small or large, LED or conventional lighting source, all these lights share the same durability and optic excellence.
One of the newest technologies to transform the light industry is LED or light emitting diode technology. LEDs, usually red or green in color have been common sights in electronics for several decades now. But their use as lighting sources has been hampered by the fact that they have not been made to emit white light until very recently.
The Next Big Thing in Flashlight Technology
However, now that technological hurdle has been overcome, these white LED lights are becoming very popular for several reasons. LED lights produce a beam of light more like natural sunlight--this beam is less prone to diffusion and these LEDs last thousands of hours longer than a conventional light bulb. For these reasons, Pelican's LED flashlights are especially favored by search and rescue professionals who need lights that can penetrate fog, rain and smoke.
Whichever Pelican light you choose, you will get a light that is guaranteed to withstand even the toughest working conditions. Even Pelican's pocket lights and mini flashlights share the same unbreakable ABS plastic construction as the company's top of the line M6 StealthLite. All these lights share the company's unconditional warranty of quality. If any of these lights should break for any reason, the company will replace them free of charge. . .forever.
