Flashlights News

Here we give you a sample of flashlights on the market.
Each has its own uniqueness.
Some are just the best, some Glow, some do not need batteries and some float and some 
do everything even a fire alarm.

 

GloTorch Explorer

Some of the features of the Explorer. Waterproof , Xenon bulb, 
8 hour glow, floats beam upright , batteries. This flashlight 
is ideal in a nighttime MOB emergency. If you throw the light 
toward the MOB it can be a reference point. The light floats 
with its beam shining into the sky and can be seen by the MOB 
and the rescue boat. Both migrate toward the light as a central
point. This light could be kept on a rail mount for quick 
deployment.                  

Red LED GloTorch

A red night-vision saving torch that glows in the dark!

Here the body of the flashlight or torch glows. The diagram 

here explains. The red LED will burn for days continuously 

on a single set of batteries - but the body of the torch also 

glows in the dark without batteries.

Imagine you cannot find the flashlight in the dark. You need 

a flashlight to find the one your looking for.

Here is another photo luminescent light from Pelican 

The Great Land Laser

The Great Land laser is a rescue device. Point it at an 

SAR (search & rescue) aircraft it can be seen for 22 miles.

Sherpa from Free Play Energy                           

Apart for being a great backup light in case of emergency. I found this little bit of information 

on the Free play web site." Every year, more than two billion non-rechargeable batteries are 

disposed of improperly. Comprised of heavy metals, such as alkaline, mercury, nickel 

cadmium and lead, batteries end up in landfills and incinerators that impact the environment, 

which may cause health risks to humans and animals." Another reason to buy one.

Adventure Lights VIP Safety & Signal Light

Visible over 3 miles, this wide viewing angle emergency light has 

been put to hundreds of uses by our military, police and search 

and rescue teams. Tested in deserts, the arctic, the stratosphere 

and hundreds of feet below the sea, the VIP has proven to hold up 

to the demands of extreme environmental conditions. It is the only

 light that is a flashlight, emergency flasher and S.O.S. survival 

beacon all in one package.

Sold through outdoor retail outlets.

Nightstar Flashlight                   

NightStar is an extremely reliable light source that will function after years of storage and exposure 

to environmental extremes. The simple design uses a highly efficient renewable energy source to 

power a high-brightness LED. Simply shaking the NightStar for 30 seconds will provide over 15 

minutes of light! NightStar is also the only flashlight that performs without fail under the extreme 

conditions of desert heat, polar cold, or submerged to depths exceeding 400 feet. Battery-powered 

flashlights just do not tolerate  environmental extremes like NightStar.

This dual purpose flashlight has two extra features.

SOS alarm; In the event that you find yourself in a position 

where you need to alert others, simply push the two buttons 

on FlareSafe. The piercing 110dB alarm will sound, and at 

the same time the torch light will start flashing – this provides 

an audible and visual sign of distress. Smoke alarm; FlareSafe 

uses a specially-designed optical system to look for smoke. The smoke detector works 

when you arm the unit.

Premier Light

making it the ideal flashlight for short or long range illumination.  Krypton bulb for long range.

light you need and allows you to manage the power consumption. Adjustable light beam 

brightness and focus.

Compact (palm size) high-intensity, selectable-output, multi-spectrum LED flashlight for tactical, self-defense, recreational, 

and general use. The Kroma's virtually indestructible primary light-emitting diode (LED) provides two output levels of white 

light: a long-running low beam and a brilliant tactical-level high beam with over three times the light of a larger two-D-cell 

flashlight—enough light to temporarily blind an assailant.
