Lightweight, Rechargeable Lanterns Offer Enhanced Performance and Lumen Output
Streamlight®, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance flashlights, introduced upgraded versions of its popular LiteBox® and FireBox® rechargeable lanterns, each available in an E-Spot® model which produces a large, bright spot beam, and an E-Flood® version, designed to flood an area with light. All models are brighter, lighter-weight and run longer than previous LiteBox® and FireBox® lanterns, delivering up to 1,500 lumens and 110,000 candela on high and nearly 18 hours of run time on the low setting.
The new models include the E-Flood® FireBox®, the E-Spot® FireBox®, the E-Flood® LiteBox®, and the E-Spot® LiteBox®. Upgraded versions of the E-Flood® and E-Spot® LiteBox® Power Failure Systems, featuring power failure circuitry that automatically illuminates the light when the power goes out, are also available.
“These rugged, dependable lanterns provide extreme brightness for a wide variety of emergency lighting applications, from navigating through smoke-filled rooms to illuminating outside plant repairs when working under low light conditions,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight’s Chief Revenue Officer. “The FireBox® models, which also feature two ultra-bright blue taillights so that users can be seen from behind, are ideal for firefighters and first responders when working under the challenging conditions they often face. And the LiteBox® lanterns are essential tools for industrial and automotive users for inspection, maintenance, and other needs.”
Dineen added that the new lanterns are smaller and weigh less than half of their earlier counterparts, making them easier to wear or carry for long periods. They also provide new, enhanced features such as a large, tactile, push-button switch with a built-in battery status indicator.
The E-Spot® FireBox® and LiteBox® models use four LEDs with deep parabolic reflectors for a long-range, spot beam pattern for investigating a fire scene or performing repair tasks. On the high setting, they provide 1,500 lumens, 110,000 candela, a beam distance of 663 metres and a run time of 7.5 hours. On the low setting, they deliver a run time of 17.75 hours, 350 lumens and 25,000 candela over 316 metres.
The E-Flood® LiteBox® and FireBox® models feature four LEDs with shallow reflectors for a widened flood beam pattern that is ideal for such uses as such as lighting up a plant floor or conducting searches at a fire scene. On the high setting, the E-Flood® models provide 1,500 lumens and 4,700 candela over a distance of 137 metres. On the low setting, they deliver 350 lumens and 1,000 candela over 63 metres. Run time is 17.75 hours on the low setting and 7.5 hours on high.
All models now use a lightweight, 7.4-volt, 5200 mAh lithium-ion battery which is rechargeable up to 500 times. Red and green LEDs provide battery charge status; flashing red indicates charging is needed, while green indicates fully charged.
All models, which come in either orange or high-visibility yellow, are available as Standard and Vehicle Mount systems. The Standard E-Flood® and E-Spot® LiteBox systems include a shoulder strap, AC and DC charge cords, and a charge rack. The Vehicle Mount E-Flood® and E-Spot® LiteBoxes include a shoulder strap and vehicle-mounted hard-wired rack, while the Vehicle Mount E-Flood and E-Spot® FireBoxes also include two user-programmable ultra-bright blue taillight LEDs. The LiteBox® Power Failure models come with a shoulder strap, AC and DC charge cords and charge rack, plus “smart” power failure circuitry that automatically turns the lantern on when the power goes out. All models fit existing LiteBox®/FireBox® chargers.
The lanterns each measure 28.45 cm in length and weigh 1389 grams. Each unit features high-impact, ABS thermoplastic housing with an easy-grip handle. All models are one-metre impact-resistant rested and feature an IPX4 design for water-resistant operation.
