General LED stuff, FYI
The LED Light - theledlight.com
Hello LED Afficiandos!
It's been a very busy February and March with many new items being added
while we have been working on the newer items still to come. We are also
planning to move the business to Fallon, Nevada in the coming month so
things got a bit hectic. Watch for our notice on this move.
We are late again, so let's get to it!
As many of you already know, we have a super, complete and ready to
install 12vdc on/off dimmer switch to control up to 150 LEDs/1500
milliamps. This great, convenient device also includes a wall plate for
wall or enclosure mounting. Use it for your next project or with any of
our fixtures and arrays.
theledlight.com
We have now increased the number of discrete LED available; red, yellow
and orange, 8 degree models with mcd ranging from 8,000 to 10,000mcd. This
month, we have added a blue-green (4200mcd) with the same characteristics
of the blues and greens. There is also a new red, yellow and orange in 30
degrees rated for 2200mcd plus at 50mA. Don't let the mcd rating fool you
as these are the same LEDs used in our brake and turn signal LED bulbs.
theledlight.com
Motorcycle, auto, RV and truck LED brake and turn signal lights are
available. These #1156 and #1157 bulbs are drop-in replacements for any
enclosure that will accept the bulb's dimensions. The #1156 bulbs are for
single function running or parking lights. The #1157s are a combination
brake & parking light bulbs, and turn signal & parking light bulbs. Red
and yellow LEDs are used to minimize pricing, AND to deepen the color and
brighness of a red or yellow lens. The bulbs are available with 30 or 40
LEDs per bulb.
theledlight.com
The LED Light is now including our own TLL Energy Wise line of LED
fixtures which includes lamps, lanterns, ceiling and wall fixtures, a
12vdc utility light and a 12vdc Red LED flasher. These are good looking
lights that have the range of power for most any task. The Energy Wise
units require their own transformer built to allow plug-in 120vac
operation which is included in the price. We hope to expand this line in
the coming monthswith more options to lighting.
theledlight.com for the flasher;
theledlight.com for the other LED fixtures.
The PEZ 3 LED bulb, theledlight.com, for Petzl
Zoom and Megas have been temporarily removed due to a fault in the
assembly. We will have this corrected and the bulbs will be available
again next week.
If you have purchased a PEZ bulb since March 1, 2001 and have not been
able to correctly install the reflector over the bulb, please return them
along with a copy of your receipt. We will replace them at no charge. Call
(702-657-6913) or email (help@theledlight.com) us if you cannot locate
your invoice.
In trying to keep in step with the times, we have finally been able to
completely re-do the Power Stations that will reliably meet the need for
brown-outs, "California" rolling black-outs and emergency lighting, as
well as for other uses. These 5 watt and 10 watt solar powered light
systems are ideal as they are matched to specific light fixtures that a
majority of you look for and will find to be properly sized. If you are
handy and have other uses for these set ups, then they also come in kit
form with no assembly/enclosure.
theledlight.com
And don't forget cooling needs too! We have the right size solar powered
vent fans to remove stale and heated air from your attic, garage, shed,
greenhouse and other enclosures. Keep cool this summer with a reversible
switch (from your local electrical distributor) to bring in fresh, cool
air without commercial electicity. Mount these fans on a 2x4 frame and
place them where it's advantageous.

Flashlights! What more can we say. Everyone will want or need one and we
have the best of the crop. The two-in-one security tool, the Baton Light
(http://www.theledlight.com/batonlite.html) is fast becoming a favorite.
Lightweight, bright and very tough, this 5.5" long machined aluminum
flashlight will last forever. This light is for everyone, not just for
security, military, police and other safety personnel.
The OneStar has been added to the PALight family. Here is the only clear,
bright and defined beam pattern LED light. This single LED light has NO
dark spots, odd shaped beam patterns or rings! OneStars use the Nichia
5mm, 5600mcd white LED for brighness, and is still boosted with Light
Technology's patented integrated circuit to offer 7 light levels! A
lanyard that is to be inserted into the bottom case is available.
theledlight.com
For PALight fans, we now have a great lanyard with a replacement bottom
case that has two corner holes where the lanyard is attached to. Simply
remove the current bottom case and slip in the new one with the included
lanyard. Now it won't drop and break accidentially. For both the PALights
and the OneStar, there is a two-piece magnet accessory that allows you to
clip your light to a bike's handle bar, or use it to store/hold the light
on a bar or flat metal surface.
theledlight.com
The super bright Stylus now has an accessory that will eliminate light
side spill. The "Glare Guard" will not reduce light volume nor reduce
intensity, and will protect the LED from scratches. Check it out.
theledlight.com
Keychain LED lights! Who can't use one on the purse zipper, on the
keychain, the back pack, the gear bag, your child's school bag/pack.
Always affordable and moreso now. From the builders of the Infinity Task
Light comes the 0-4 keychain light, theledlight.com.
This is the toughest looking keychain light we know of. Feels great to
handle, is simple in design for long service, bright as, if not brighter
than the other single LED lights, and it's waterproof. Weighs in at less
than 0.5 ounce! At $17.00, it will always be a Best Buy!
And hey, let's not forget the Photon Micro Light family! They have a Rav'n
Party Light in three LED colors (red, blue, green) due the end of April.
At about the same time, there will be a 7 function/mode Photon III with
the sliding on/off switch as found in the Photon IIs. A month later, we
will have the "Fusion", a 6 LED headlamp/handheld/table lamp combination
utilizing the new Photon III's 7 mode/functions. You can always count on
Photon for improvements and progressive additions to their line of great
LED lights. Check back to see these new wonders.
theledlight.com
Now for the coup of the day! A Xenon flashlight that beats the heck out of
2 cell focusing flashlights. Brighter and lighter in weight, the two
models fit confortably in your hand, are easy to turn on/off and will run
longer on a set of aklaine batteries than the competition. Best features:
barely visible dark spots or rings in the beam pattern, and the 2C model
will not change the beam focus when turning it on/off. Check into the
Bison, the only NON-LED flashlight we stock!
theledlight.com
If these new lights aren't enough, stay glued to The LED Light. We have
plans for some additions that will blow you away! A 10 LED, a 14 LED and a
19 LED flashlight are coming down the pike in a month or so. If they can't
fill your quest for the brightest LED lights, we don't know what will!
The 10 LED models will be only water resistant. The 14 and 19 LED models
will be water proof to 1000 feet! We will have more news on these as they
are passed on to us.
We hear every so often that there are brighter white LEDs on the market
than those we sell. Folks, there are none as yet! We hope that there will
be an improved 5mm model that will be able to seriously challenge the
Xenons and Halogens, not in brightness .. already there, but in volume for
more distance. When this happens, you can bet that they will replace all
standard flashlights and some of the specialties. We also expect the cost
of white LEDs to be reduced more than they have to allow greater access to
these wonderful light sources.
Meanwhile, watch out for words and terms such as super bright, Ultra,
Ultra bright and so on. They are misleading! If you want to squeeze out
more mcds from the 5600mcd white LED, tweak the applied current a few mA
at a time, and/or increase the voltage slowly to reach the maximum level
the LED will accept without deterioration. The more power applied, the
shorter the life. Some folks are playing with very rapid pulsing to give
the appearance that the light is brighter. At a given rate, the lights
appears to be constantly on insted of pulsing on and off. Neat trick.
The LED Light gets bogged down in daily details and we find it hard to
stick our head above the pile of paper work to search for quality and
reliable sources for technical information and "how-to" articles. If you
know of any that we should consider having links to, please forward the
URL to us for review. We'd greatly appreciate your help in maintaining a
website that is
informative as well as a great "candy store"!
Thank you until next time.
