TORCHES AND BULBS Assortment 2011/12
56
– Virtually shatter proof and
since they don’t heat up they
are very safe, won’t crack and
are vibration resistant
(extremely resistant to shocks)
– Light is much whiter, someti-
mes slightly blue (high colour
temperature)
– LED lasts quasi for the lifetime
of the torch (up to 100,000
hours)
– For activities in low-distance
(low performance approx.
150mW)
– Providing longer battery
runtime due to high energy
efficiency at lower performance
5mm / Standard LEDs
LEDS ARE “WHAT’S NEW” IN TORCH TECHNOLOGY
What is an LED?
– LED stands for “Light Emitting Diode”.
– It is not a bulb, it does not use a filament. It is a plastic sealed
semi-conductor with phosphorous coating that produces light.
The LED itself is a solid-state electronic device.
– LEDs are highly energy efficient and made without glass.
– Light beam is not created by heat, it is emitted directly from
electrons (cold light).
LEDs vs. Incandescent Bulbs
– Can break quite easily
– Light tends to be slightly red/
yellow (low colour temperature)
– Bulb life cycle only 20 - 30 hours
(the filament is a wearing part,
it vaporises during its lifetime.
– Shorter battery lifetime due to
extremely high power
consumption
Incandescent Bulbs

Comparison of operation costs in 200 hours of service
– Virtually shatter proof and
since they don’t heat up they
are very safe, won’t crack and
are vibration resistant
(highly shock resistant)
– Very strong, white light (high
colour temperature)
– High Performance LED last up
to 50,000 hours
– Due to high performance
suitable for long distances
– Focusing possible
– High efficiency regarding
the relation between power
consumption and true light
output
