Light For Life UC3.400 - 2009 Innovation Awards Winner: Body Armor & Safety

Powered by a sophisticated energy management system, 5.11 Tactical's Light for Life UC3.400 Flashlight fully charges in 90 seconds and delivers up to 23.5 hours of total runtime. At about 16 ouncPowered by a sophisticated energy management system, 5.11 Tactical's Light for Life UC3.400 Flashlight fully charges in 90 seconds and delivers up to 23.5 hours of total runtime. At about 16 ounces, the light produces 270 peak lumens in bright mode, 90 lumens in standard mode, and has a 270- lumen tactical strobe. The 3 LED bulbs on the flashlight are rated for 50,000 hours and never have to be replaced. Water, abrasion, crack and bend-resistant, the 11.5-inch UC3.400 casing is fully sealed against the elements The Light for Life UC3.400 comes with a vehicle 12V DC charging base, as well as a mounting plate and a belt ring. Accessories such as lens filters, flare cones, holsters and an AC adapter will be available.
The UC3.400's energy management system, called FlashPoint Power Technology, utilizes environmentally friendly ultracapacitors that efficiently manage how energy is loaded into the flashlight and then optimizes how it is dispersed to maximize performance and runtime. Unlike batteries that need to be replaced, ultracapacitors quickly load and unload energy without a chemical reaction. The UC3.400 is rated for 50,000 charge/discharge cycles with virtually no degradation and no memory - even in severe temperature conditions. Other rechargeable flashlights begin to lose the ability to hold a full charge after the first use, are highly susceptible to temperature fluctuations and have an expected life of 500 to 1,000 charge/ discharge cycles.
