Product Information

It is taken from Morse code, where the S is represented by 3 dots and the O by 3 dashes when typed consecutively in a telegraph machine.

Reflectors and lenses [ edit ] Dive flashlight with different reflectors and collimator for LED XHP70.Handheld torches - the most common type of torch because it is versatile enough to be used across most applications. The light output of a torch is measured in lumens (lm); the higher the lumen rating, the brighter the light is that the torch emits. Electronic controls allow the user to select variable output levels or different operating modes such as pre-programmed flashing beacon or strobe modes.

Consequently, they could be used only in brief flashes, hence the common North American name "flashlight". A desirable plastic for manufacturing flashlights allows for ease of molding and adequate mechanical properties of the finished flashlight case. A wide variety of mechanical switch designs using slide switches, rocker switches, or side-mounted or end-mounted pushbuttons has been used in flashlights. Another style has a lamp mounted at the end of a flexible cable, or a semirigid or articulated probe.

There is also an integrated hook on the top of the lantern which offers the option to have it hanging up on a hook to provide wider 360° coverage of light.

Portable hand-held electric lights offered advantages in convenience and safety over (combustion) torches, candles and lanterns. However, they are much more expensive than incandescent, due to the ballast circuit required to start and operate the lamp. SMALL TORCH, BIG MEMORY FEATURE The K4R 4GB is a rechargeable keychain light with up to 120 lumens of light output, making it significantly brighter than most smartphone torch functions. In all but disposable or novelty flashlights, the bulb is user-replaceable; the bulb life may be only a few hours. The torch has a white LED with a convex lens which has been upgraded to emit 2000 lumens from the highest brightness setting, while the concealed work light located on the side uses COB LED technology to provide a maximum 500 lumens output.An incandescent bulb with a tungsten filament - the older, more traditional torch or flashlight with a softer amber glow. Power sources [ edit ] Batteries [ edit ] Left to right: 3x AA to D parallel battery converter with rechargeable NiMH AA-size batteries inserted. In some types, the incandescent light bulb has an integral lens that focuses the light, so no reflector is built into the penlight.

Dynamo-powered flashlights were popular during the Second World War since replacement batteries were difficult to find.Shaking the flashlight charges a capacitor or a rechargeable battery that supplies current to a light source.

Colored lenses placed over the end of the flashlight are used for signalling, for example, in railway yards. Similar to the headlamp, an angle-head flashlight emits light perpendicular to the length of the battery tube; it can be clipped to a headband, belt, or webbing or set on a flat surface. Ultraviolet LEDs may be used for inspection lights, for example, detecting fluorescent dyes added to air conditioning systems to detect leakage, examining paper currency, or checking UV-fluorescing marks on laundry or event ticket holders.
