Bright Star Lighting Products Introduces the New Lighthawk™ LED Lantern
2007-06-01 — (Hanover Township, PA) - Officials at Bright Star Lighting Products announce the introduction of the LED Lighthawk™. Maintaining the features of the Lighthawk MAX - the first ever lantern powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
The Lighthawk LED uses state-of-art LED technology. At just 1.9 lbs, it's up to 42% lighter than popular competitive lanterns and 74% lighter than traditional lanterns. Bright Star has once again developed a quality driven fire lantern. Its LED beam exhibits a sharp and crisp light output that is easy on the eyes, throws light at a distance unmatched by any other on the market and provides longer burn time, making it a great lighting source for those longer-than-expected situations!
According to Malcolm, the Lighthawk LED has kept all the great features that made it a leader in the industry. The Lighthawk LED has a high-powered primary 5 watt LED, combined with the LED taillights, to provide firefighters with unparalleled brightness and smoke cutting ability. A first responder favorite, the Lighthawk's low-battery indicator signals that there are 30-minutes of power remaining.
The Lighthawk LED remains the industry standard in professional fire lanterns with these exceptional features and attributes.
o Either a fixed or articulating head that rotates 90 degrees for greater flexibility.
o Rubber-coated three-position toggle switch-strategically placed for intuitive operation.
o Two "quick-release" strap options: Lightweight strap (included) and optional seat-belt style.
o Super-tough, chemical- and heat-resistant and waterproof nylon casing
o Ergonomic, ribbed texture handle ensures a sure grip, even with gloves
o Rubberized head, handle and base for shock absorbency
o Class I, Division 2 safety rating pending
Two Lighthawk LED colors are available: Hi-Viz Green and Fire Engine Red. The battery configuration is a 4-cell rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The 4- cell version delivers 100 lumens; 4000 + Lux at 7 feet, using a 5-watt LED for 7 plus hours of run time, respectively. With a 2:1 burn to charge ratio it is the fastest charging light on the market!
Even though the Lighthawk is the most advanced professional lighting innovation serving the fire market, it is competitively priced with other fire lanterns on the market today. The light is available exclusively through professional distributors. Measuring 9.5" long, 3.125" in diameter and 5.125" in height, the light is backed by a lifetime warranty, guaranteeing against defects in materials or workmanship for the life of the product!
