New Bosch Litheon(TM) Flashlight Offers Hours of LED Light in a Compact, Affordable Package

Bosch FL11 lets users swap batteries with all 12V Max Litheon tools!

Mount Prospect, Ill., July 2, 2008 - Looking for a compact, heavy-duty flashlight that will deliver enough clear, bright LED light to illuminate a whole day's work? The new FL11 Litheon(TM) High Intensity LED Flashlight from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories is the perfect choice.

Powered by Bosch's proven 12V Max Litheon ultra-compact lithium-ion battery platform - the same batteries inside Bosch's award-winning PS20 Pocket Driver and PS40 Impactor - the FL11 delivers up to seven-and-a-half hours of continuous runtime and completely re-charges in only 30 minutes. Even with its phenomenal battery charge life, the FL11 still offers users brighter, crisper illumination than its incandescent predecessors thanks to a brilliant three-bulb LED beam.

Since LED bulbs are more robust than incandescent bulbs, with a thicker housing and no fragile wire filament, the FL11 boasts a lifetime of more than 10,000 hours. That's almost five years worth of continuous use without a bulb replacement. For many professionals, the FL11 could last the better part of a career with proper battery management.

With a weight of barely 1.6 pounds and a comfortable ergonomic chassis that easily fits in the palms of most users' hands, the FL11 is ideal for all-day use in cramped quarters - attics, basements, crawspaces, cabinets, duct work, electronics applications and more. A sturdy stainless steel belt hook makes it easy to stow between uses. The FL11 is also friendly on the wallet, with a retail price of only $39.99.

The Bosch FL11 12V Max LED Flashlight is sold as a flashlight only. Bosch 12V Max batteries and chargers are available separately or with other Bosch 12V Max cordless tools. The FL11 is covered by Bosch's standard power tool warranty and is eligible to be registered in the Bosch 3-Year ProVantage Protection Plan. It will be available through authorized Bosch distributors nationwide this summer. To find out more, users may visit www.boschtools.com or call 877-BOSCH-99.

*Bosch now refers to its ultra-compact Litheon battery platform as "12V Max." The change is due to lithium ion battery voltage rating standards that have been adopted in the marketplace since Bosch first introduced its ultra-compact Litheon products in 2006.The new terminology, which replaces 10.8V, is meant to reduce confusion in the marketplace between maximum voltage and nominal voltage.
