"Shedding Some Light" on Lighting Technologies
When it comes to lighting technology, there's a new Sheriff in town. It comes in the form of high power, energy efficient, durable, and digitally-regulated LEDs. This technology has revolutionized portable lighting technologies and will continue to do so. Really even talking about this lighting creates a snapshot in time and ephemeral data point as the mentioned lights, like the excellent Fenix L2D Q5, will eventually be eclipsed. But rest assured that even at this current technological point, these lights can revolutionize your systems. Whether you're a cop, civilian sheepdog, soldier, professional or private pilot, prepared homeowner, mountain biker, or medical professional, I think a reliable and bright light is paramount to your system. Today's LED flashlights, like the L2D 2AA version shown, has impressive brightness levels, multi-mode technology, incredible versatility, and offer all of this in compact and lightweight 3.2 ounce form factors. As mentioned in the vid, expect such a light to effectively replace a lantern, headlamp, bike light, traffic wand, and pen light. They can do it all those tasks at a reasonably cost and do so reliably year after year. Not one to adopt technology just for its current "coolness," magazine or forum popularity, an item has to prove itself as "system changing" for it to be attractive to me. When we "shed some light" on the new LED lighting products, they indeed do just that.
