unlike flashlights with alkaline batteries or light sticks, powerflare units can handle extreme temperatures, can be used in hazmat and eod situations (intrinsically safe), and feature an amazing 10 year storage/shelf life with lithium batteries that never leak. the led bulbs are unbreakable and can operate thousands of hours.
powerflare ir tactical beacons are currently in use by military special forces as well as law enforcement tactical (swat) teams.
quelli base stanno sui 47$-55$ a pezzo e sono alimentati da una batteria al litio cr123. sono disponibili anche numerosi accessori (valigette per il trasporto, multi-charger, etc.).
da non sottovalutare in caso di soccorso...
