TORRANCE, CA — June 30, 2004 — LEDtronics announces the newest and most powerful addition to their popular line
of LED FlashLEDs — the FlashLED FLT-5001 — that surpasses
the light output of all its predecessors and rivals incandescent flashlights
of equal power. Press the switch and a dazzling 1800 foot-candles of
white light erupts from the three 1-Watt Luxeon(tm) LEDs. (Luxeon LEDs
are the brightest solid-state light source commercially available.) Each
LED features an onboard collimator that focuses the light into tight
beam for an intensity of 75 lumens each. The fully integrated flashlight
head (the LED lamps, lenses and reflectors) optimizes light color, intensity
and dispersion. The FlashLED FLT-5001 comes standard with three white
1-Watt LEDs. These long-lasting LED lamps operate for more than 100,000
hours (10 years). This energy-efficient FlashLED operates for nearly
17 days on three replaceable D-cell batteries. (Batteries are not included
with flashlight.) At 12.31" (313mm) the flashlight is just over
a foot long and weighs 17.2 ounces (0.488kg) without batteries. Use the
FlashLED FLT-5001 as a reliable portable light source for examining instruments,
reading maps, navigating trails, inspecting utility conduits, hunting,
policing, etc....
Precision manufacturing makes the FlashLED FLT-5001 exceptionally reliable
by creating tight connections between components, which prevents the
movement of parts and loose connections. A spring loaded in the end cap
maintains secure contacts between the batteries and the flashlight head.
The CNC-machined anodized aluminum housing enables it to withstand the
toughest of tasks and working conditions. A sealed rubber switch and
o-rings prevent moisture and corrosive agents from seeping in and adversely
effecting operation. An etched, crosshatched rubber surface on the barrel
aids handling in inclement weather. A removable 57-inch shoulder strap
is included.
With an average LED life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), LEDs
operate reliably year-after-year. Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious
to electrical and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching and
environmental fluctuation. LED lamps use only 10% - 20% of the energy
consumed by equivalent incandescent lamps that when combined with their
maintenance-free operation results in substantial cost savings.
