You Will Be Glad You Can Reach For NEBO Flashlights

By Jaclyn Hurley


It used to be simple when choosing a flashlight. Incandescent bulbs were the only choice. Now, LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights are being produced in all different sizes and shapes of NEBO flashlights. The cost to purchase one starts surprisingly low and increases according to its specific function. In addition they save consumers money because they last longer, there is no breakable glass bulb to replace, and they use less battery power.

The difference is basic and not hard to understand. An incandescent light is simply a glass bulb that has been filled with an inert gas and tungsten filament. When switched on, the batteries provide electric current that heats the filament producing visible light. Now, think of LEDs as tiny light bulbs with no filament. They plug into an electrical circuit and when the diode is turned on the electrons move around producing light.

When the bulb breaks or burns out in the traditional flashlight, it has to be replaced. In contrast the LED has no glass parts so it does not break if dropped or bumped against something hard. In addition, the LED uses much less energy so batteries last longer and the life expectancy of their bulb is dramatically longer than the traditional light.

There is also a work light available on the market that is small in size but with 20 LED's on its face it provides plenty of light to get any job done. It has a hanging hook, a two hundred degree pivoting stand and a magnetic base. In addition, it also has 6 LED's on its head so it can also be used as a flashlight. A person can make repairs under the sink and in the dark at the fuse box. Any place light is needed to get a job done, it can handle it.

Another good idea is to always have a rechargeable model in your car, truck, boat, or Recreational Vehicle. It just plugs into any 12 volt outlet and will produce a compact and bright light for six hours. That is plenty of time to either change a tire, go for help, or look at a map.

If you find yourself without access to any power outlets and you have a wind up model, you will have light. These tools have an internal battery that is recharged when you turn the hand crank. A good idea is to always include one in your emergency kit, on the boat, or as part of your camping gear. No need to worry about light when there is no power when you have one of these.

A lot of people like to have a heavy weight light to feel safer when checking out noises or suspicious activities. There is bat shaped light. It can produce a light of 200 lumens, which is bright enough to temporarily blind any intruder. It also has a strobe which will lessen the night vision of an unwanted visitor.

An LED flashlight is a good choice for many reasons. It does not break if dropped, they use little energy so batteries last a lot longer. There is also a huge variety of sizes and shapes which means there is one perfect for use in your child's school bag, a purse, brief case, emergency kit, in the kitchen, or in your vehicle.
