Bright Star Lighting Products introduces safety-rated right-angle flashlight
2006-04-20 — (Hanover Township, PA) ? Officials at Bright Star Lighting Products are pleased to announce the introduction of a safety-rated, affordable, right-angle flashlight ? the Responder?. Created with a volunteer firefighter?s needs in mind, this alkaline-powered light offers superior features when compared with more expensive right angle models at nearly half the cost.
According to Bright Star Lighting Product?s Sales & Marketing Director Matt Malcolm,
?Volunteer firefighters are a critical component to America?s fire fighting team. Unfortunately, they rarely have the resources they need and are often forced to purchase life-saving tools with their own money. At Bright Star, we feel they deserve the highest quality light at a cost they can afford, and are excited to meet that need by introducing the alkaline Responder right angle.?

? Two integrated back-up bulbs of the same brightness as the primary bulb to ensure bright and constant light throughout a firefighters call to duty
? Pushbutton switch designed to be easily operated in a heavily gloved hand
? Rugged design capable of withstanding a drop from 30-feet ? the standard for measuring flashlight durability
? Unbreakable lens
? Waterproof
The Responder is available in three safety-rated models: Underwriter?s Laboratories Class 1, Division 1; Class 1, Division 2; Class 2, Division 2. ?At Bright Star Lighting Products we realize how important safety is in the daily lives of firefighters. It is vital that the products they depend on are a source of safety, not risk, in all situations,? commented Malcolm.
