Torrance, CA — LEDtronics®, Inc., the industry's most innovative LED lamp
manufacturer, announces a new family of compact flashlights which use
special solid-state Light Emitting Diode (LED) illuminator(s) to provide
color and
intensity-controlled illumination for a wide variety of industrial and
recreational applications.
These flashlights designated as FlashLEDS,
incorporate a solid-state
LED lamp/s rather than an incandescent bulb, and can withstand severe
vibration and shock without fear of lamp filament breakage. The unit
will continue
to work even if the lens cover should crack.
Wide-beam intensity models
make it ideal for amateur and professional pilots, boaters, navigators,
astronomers or anyone who is required to illuminate instruments, charts
or inspect equipment under darkened conditions when night vision must
be maintained. For example, a 565 nanometer green can illuminate a page
at
30cm. and tests have shown that night vision is not impaired, even when
the user looks directly into the beam of this FlashLED. Another group
of models provide both safelight levels for narrow beam and wide beam
viewing. They are ideally suited for amateur and professional darkroom
workers, film
processing technicians, radiology technicians and manufacturers of light
sensitive materials who must illuminate optical equipment, chemical developers
or automated machinery while maintaining safelight conditions.
The units
incorporate a solid-state lamp which allow tight control of beam-width,
illumination intensity and color temperature. Unlike safelight filters,
the LED lamp does not change its transmission characteristics or fade
in use. The narrow beam viewing device can illuminate a 1/4 page at 10cm.
while
the wide beam viewing unit can illuminate a full page at 10cm. Other
FlashLEDS incorporate infrared LED lamps to provide high powered or narrow
beam high
powered intensities for security surveillance with infrared cameras and
goggles. The high powered infrared unit illuminates a 5m square area
at approximately 25m while the narrow beam high powered device illuminates
a 3m square at approximately 60m.
Each FlashLED is constructed with a rugged, splashproof anodized aluminum
case.They use two readily available AA alkaline batteries which will last
at least 15 times longer than in incandescent flashlights. The LED lamp
(illuminator) operates for more than 100,000 hours before requiring replacement.
The FlashLED is available in safelight, medium and full intensity in eight
visible colors (ultra-red through blue), five sunlight super bright colors
(red, orange, yellow , green, blue) and four infrared wavelengths (850nm,
880nm, 881nm, 940nm).
Suggested list pricing the the FlashLEDS used by pilots and astronomers
for reading , Model FLT-1008-X0X is $25.95 while the FlashLED used for night
inspection, Model FLT-1006-X0X, is $29.95.
