Wonderful Flashlight

Ken-L · 07-24-2010, 10:06 PM

I use this in photograpy for "light-painting" an object because these put out a daylight temperature light, of 5500 to 6000 Degrees Kelvin. But it is really more of a survival-type flashlight, and the one I take "just in case".

It is the Heliotek Model HTE-1. http://www.heliotekinc.com/Products.htm

Runs 6-8 hours at full brightness on one set of batteries
Runs from -40°F to 115°F
Will take extremely rough usage due to high impact resistance of Lexan® and stainless steel battery case
Floats
Will work under water in excess of 150 feet
Switch has both "constant-on/off" or "momentary-on/off" for conserving power or signaling
Non-slip grip
Flashlight weighs less than 6 ounces
It will produce a spot up to 200 feet away yet has sufficient side spill flood for walking and has a readily operated diffuser lens which can also be removed, if desired.

I have been using the MAXFIRE DUAL XENON RECHARGEABLE SPOTLIGHT.

This spotlight is extremely lightweight and compact, yet has a powerful, super bright beam. The Ni-Cd rechargeable battery and two Xenon bulbs combine to provide the ultimate high-intensity beam.
Features:
Constructed of tough ABS plastic with pistol grip handle
Easily switches from one beam to two for adjustable brightness
ON/OFF trigger switch for momentary bursts of light
Lock button for extended ON times
LED indicator that turns off automatically when fully charged
Convenient metal bracket for hanging or storage
120-volt AC charger that operates from a standard wall outlet
12-volt DC charger/adapter for recharging from a cigarette light receptacle
