Features and Specifications:
-
- As reviewed in POLICE: The Law Enforcement Magazine! See Review - Quick Charge Artist - Departments: First Look (opens in new window)
- Up to 23.5 hours of total runtime (98% uptime) in a 24-hour period (average runtime rates for other rechargeable duty flashlights are 9%-25%)
- No need to carry multiple flashlights, purchase multiple chargers, or have to remember to charge your light after a long shift
- Powered by FlashPoint™ Power Technology, a new sophisticated energy management system... not batteries!
- FlashPoint™ Power Technology utilizes environmentally friendly ultracapacitors to quickly load and unload energy without a chemical reaction
- Ultracapacitors work together with revolutionary computer circuitry to efficiently manage how energy is loaded into the flashlight
- Ultracapacitors optimize how the energy is dispersed to maximize both performance and runtime
- Temperature-tolerant ultracapacitors are rated at -40°F to 149°F (-40°C to 65°C)
- Made primarily of carbon and aluminum – contains no heavy metals
- Advanced power management technology has been developed over the last 10 years
- Expected lifetime:
- Precision engineered to offer at least a decade of maintenance-free operation under typical conditions
- Rated for 50,000 charge/discharge cycles – that's one charge a day for more than 135 years
- No degradation and no memory effect – even in severe temperature conditions
- One-button mode selection and light operation:
- 4 power settings: Standard (90 lumens), Peak (270 lumens), Strobe (270 lumens), Standby (automatic depending on remaining charge)
- Click the button once to activate standard mode (up to 60 minutes of light at 90 lumens, then light will switch itself to a standby mode of 60 minutes of light at 25 lumens)
- Press and hold the button to activate peak mode (270 lumens for 20 minutes, followed by 60 minutes of standby). Peak mode is most effective when a burst is needed to light a large area or throw the beam a long distance
- Press the button twice to activate a 270-lumen tactical strobe, used to signal others or to disorient a perpetrator, giving you valuable time to assess a situation
- Charging your 5.11 Light for Life Flashlight:
- Recharges from dead flat to full charge in 90 seconds (160 times faster than other flashlights – average charge times for other rechargeable duty flashlights are 4-12 hours)
- Place flashlight into the included DC charging unit (patent pending)
- Blue light on the charging base will flash slowly at first, then faster as energy loads into the system
- After 90 seconds the blue light will be solid, and your light is fully charged and ready to produce light for another 120 minutes
- Light Source:
- 3 L.E.D. bulbs
- Bulbs never have to be replaced
- Bulbs are rated for 50,000 hours (that's 40 hours a week, for more than 24 years)
- Materials and construction:
- Made of a firearms-grade high-strength polymer
- Casing is fully sealed against the elements
- Abrasion, crack and bend-resistant
- Solid-state construction
- Water-resistant
- RoHS compliant and environmentally friendly
- Why not batteries?
- Batteries are an additional, regular expense on already strained budgets
- Batteries need to be replaced
- Even the best batteries begin to lose the ability to hold a full charge after the first use
- Batteries are highly susceptible to temperature fluctuations
- Batteries can leak and are potentially explosive
- Batteries have an expected life of only 500 to 1,000 charge/ discharge cycles (1-3 years expected for a professional user) before the battery or flashlight must be replaced at a substantial cost
