The use of LED lights for a variety of different reasons has become quite commonplace in modern society. While there are many reasons that people choose to use LED lighting rather than conventional incandescent or fluorescent lighting, one of the main reasons seems to be the economical value involved in using LED technology. In addition to lighting homes and businesses with LED lights, people have also begun using Streamlight LED flashlights as an alternative to standard flashlights.
Durable and Shock Resistant
Streamlight LED flashlights are shock resistant so they will not be damaged if they should accidentally fall or get dropped. This is an excellent feature for people who have hobbies such as rock climbing or jogging. These flashlights do come equipped with a wrist/lanyard strap however, to reduce the likelihood of dropping it at the most inopportune times. Even so, solid state LED technology makes for a durable flashlight that can withstand a certain amount of abuse.
Totally Waterproof
Streamlight LED flashlights are totally waterproof. This enables the user to feel at ease when participating in such activities as fishing, hiking near water, or lighting the way down a trail during the rain. Also, there is always the possibility of accidentally getting caught in a rain shower at night. Waterproof flashlights enable the unlucky person to make it back to the house or car safely without becoming damaged.
Economical Minimal Power Consumption
Because Streamlight LED flashlights use the latest LED technology, they do not require very much power to operate. In fact, studies have shown that these flashlights are capable of operating for twice as long as conventional flashlights, using at least 75% less energy. This is because most of these flashlights are made with a built in DC/DC circuitry converter device.
Rechargeable Models
Streamlight LED flashlights also come in rechargeable models. This is a great feature for someone who would rather not like to buy batteries all the time. Usually a full charge will offer hours and hours of light. Because of the LED technology, even the rechargeable models use less power to function for longer lengths of time.
11,000 Candle Power
Streamlight LED flashlights offer a light beam that is equal to 11,000 candles! That is quite a significant amount of candle power, especially for a light weight, durable, waterproof flashlight. This is at least 50% brighter than a similar size incandescent flashlight. The difference is, if an incandescent flashlight had 11,000 candle power - it would require so much battery power that it would drain it altogether too quickly.
Longer Lasting Bulb
It has been proven that LED bulbs have a much longer life span than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. In fact, Streamlight LED flashlights have been tested at providing as many as 100,000 hours of light. That is quite a bit longer than any other light bulb on the market, such as an incandescent bulb that only has a life span of about 2,000 hours.
With all of the advantages in terms of economy, durability and luminance that come with using Streamlight LED flashlights, it is unclear why anyone would choose any other flashlight unless of course they arent carried in local retail stores! In cases like that, there are a number of online distributors who offer the Streamlight line at discounted rates.
