Happy Holidays

Hey Everyone,

I hope everyone is getting some much need rest and relaxation during this holiday season. I also wanted to update everyone of the status on some of the questions that have been posted in the comments.

Beam Pattern: At 20 feet, the spot is approximately 22″ in diameter and the corona is about 15′ in diameter. The beam illuminates objects well at a distance of 300 feet at 500 feet objects can be seen. There is really no difference in how three LEDs look compared to one LED. The beams from 3 LEDs combine into one.

Durability:Tim LaBorn asks “If we were to rate durability on a scale of 1 to 10 with a traditional Mag light being a 10 and a cheap colored plastic kid’s light being a 1 where would the new “light for life” fall?”

Thanks Tim for the question and while using your scale we would rate the Light for Life a “10″

Please keep those questions coming!

What Happens if Dropped?

This next question comes from Greg, he asks…

I recently saw the L4L at the 511 booth of the IACP conference in San Diego (11/10/2008). I was surprised as to how light it weighed. I am curious as to how much abuse the L4L can take. In the brochure, it indicated it was impact resistant. What does that translate to? Has it been tested in a lab to see if it still functions after being dropped from 5,10 or 20 feet?
 

The flashlight has undergone numerous laboratory and “real world” tests. It survives repeated drops from multiple heights. The housing material is a high strength polymer that is highly resistant to impacts even at low temperatures. The housing material comes from the family of polycarbonates that bullet proof glass is made of.

Thanks Greg for your question!
