led-flashlight-jetbeamA cool interactive art piece presents tiny creatures aware of human visitors. Everyone has certain things in their day-to-day lives that they cannot do without with some materialistic things having a tendency to become indispensable at times, and most often we do not realize how much we depend on them. In case you are wondering what I am talking about, you should try and make a list of things that you carry along with yourself everyday.

If you are also wondering what has been showcased in these pictures above, take a look at some of the pictures below and you will find out, and I am sure by the time you get to the last picture you would have fallen in love with this product, and would be adding it to your list of things to carry around everyday.

Who would have thought, that a flashlight can be made so appealing, besides being so functional and useful. Jetbeam specializes in manufacturing efficient handheld flashlights and offers us a variety of LED flashlights worldwide. What use would a fancy flashlight be of you? Well, let us not think short-term, but think reliable, green and long-term. LED flashlights have a tendency to be equally bright and do not grow dimmer as the battery is getting used up. The body is usually made of aluminium – to be weighless and not conduct heat, but Jetbeam flashlights it comes with a stainless steel tail to make it stand upright, and they also come with a lock out function. An extremely useful, must have, household or outdoor gadget, you never know when you might need.

So I think if the price tag could be put off on quality lighting instruments, the Jetbeam LED Flashlight would be a very good buy.

Sanyo Turning to LED Light Technology

Sanyo LED Light
Sanyo is turning to a hot new area (LED technology) for experimentation, to squeeze three uses out of a single lamp. It is said form Sanyo that there is a new Eneloop Lamp – a desk light that can also work as an emergency flashlight and even send some healing energy your way.

Operating on rechargable AA “eneloop” batteries, Sanyo’s new Eneloop Lamp based on high-luminance LED technology can be situated anywhere in the room since no cords constrain the placement.

It also uses a contactless charging system and has no metallic contact on the product body interrupting the design. The batteries are recharged by putting the lamp unit on the charging stand.

In low-white-light mode, one 12-hour charge lasts an impressive 45 hours, but on high output it only lasts 3 hours.

The Eneloop Lamp also features a blue lamp “Healing Light” mode that according to Sanyo “creates a healing ambience.” We don’t know exactly what the lamp will heal, nor have we seen any scientific data confirming this claim.

Finally, when the body is tilted 90 degrees or more, “a built-in acceleration sensor” turns the lamp into a flashlight that lasts up to six hours on one full charge. Sanyo suggests the flashlight be used in an emergency situations like a midnight earthquake or for more frequent day-to-say use as a handy portable light.

There has been no official price about the new desk light goes on sale in September 11 yet.

Battery-free LED Flashlight with Quick-recharge

LightForLife3As we all know that the LED flashlights are use batteries mostly. But a new high-tech flashlight called Light for Life become available to order.

What’s special about it? Well, the flashlight uses three LEDs, but its key component is Flashpoint Power technology, an ultracapacitor energy storage system from Ivus Energy Innovations.

Light for Life recharges in just 90 seconds and shines at 90 lumens for 90 minutes per charge. The flashlight has three modes: bright (270 peak lumens), standard (90 lumens), and strobe, which is good for dance parties or scaring the neighbors’ dog and kids (OK, I’m kidding, but you get the picture).

According to 5.11 Tactical, the 50,000-hour LEDs never have to be replaced and the flashlight is engineered to “offer 10 years of maintenance-free service under typical conditions.” (You can recharge it up 50,000 times or one time a day for 135 years.)

I got a chance to play around with the thing at a recent event, and I have to say I was pretty impressed. It’s lighter (16 ounces) than it looks, and it feels very durable. The one question I asked was: what happens when the power goes out and you have to recharge the thing? Answer: it comes with a 12V DC automotive charger, so you can use your car to charge it up in the event of a power outage.

The only drawback: Light for Life costs a whopping $169.99. But 5.11 Tactical says that when you add up the cost of all those D batteries over the lifetime of a battery-powered police flashlight, it’s still a deal. And then there’s all that good karma you get for not chucking those batteries into the garbage or landfill. It’s hard to put a price on that.
