Streamlight Launches Night Com with C4 LED Technology
Versatile Tactical Light Features MIL STD LED Night Vision Protection
EAGLEVILLE, PA - April 1, 2009 - Streamlight® Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance flashlights, has launched the Night Com® with power C4(TM) LED technology, Ultra-Bright red LEDs, and MIL STD LED night-vision protection, specifically designed for personnel who work under low-light conditions. The new light, featuring heavy-duty aluminum construction to withstand harsh conditions, preserves and optimizes night vision.
Offering three separate lighting modes, the lithium battery-powered Night Com features a white C4 LED, which provides two to three times the output of Super High Flux LEDs, two Nichia Ultra-Bright red LEDs for times when night vision preservation isn't necessary and a red night vision protection indicator LED that meets or exceeds MIL-1472D requirements.
"The versatile Night Com provides great flexibility in selecting the light source and intensity to match a wide range of circumstances for aviation professionals, hunters, first responders, military and tactical personnel who require optimized night vision protection when operating at night," said Streamlight Chief Operating Officer Ray Sharrah. "The Night Com's mode-select switch lets users easily choose the desired lighting modes, including the high power white C4 LED, the low power Ultra-bright red LEDs, and the red night vision indicator LED. They also can select a 'safety' mode that ensures the light can't be turned on by mistake." The light's Dual Switch System features an engineered tailcap switch for Power On/Power Off and signal, Sharrah added.
The Night Com's C4 LED, which boasts a 50,000-hour lifetime, offers 4,500 candela peak beam intensity and 105 lumens measured system output, providing up to 3.5 continuous hours to the 10% lumen output level. The two Nichia Ultra-Bright red LEDS, which provide a 100,000 hour lifetime, offer 2.5 lumens and provide up to 28 hours of runtime. The MIL-1472D-standard night vision protection LED generates <0.05 lumens, preserving complete dark adaptation, and features a 100,000 hour lifetime.
Powered by two included 3-Volt lithium batteries, which have a 10-year shelf life, the Night Com weighs 5.44 ounces, measures 5.43 inches in length and features an unbreakable polycarbonate lens. The flashlight's casing of aircraft-grade aluminum is coated with Mil Spec Type II anodized finish for superior wear, abrasion and corrosion resistance and is "O" ring sealed for weather resistance. Its computer-milled knurling provides maximum grip with or without gloves.
The suggested retail value of the Night Com is $70.00. The light comes with a high-strength wrist lanyard and Streamlight's Limited Lifetime warranty.
