5.11 Tactical, Light for Life, Flashlight

New! The amazing 5.11 Light for Life™ US3.400™ fully recharges in only 90 seconds...yes, 90 seconds!

5.11 Tactical has entered into a partnership with IVUS Energy Innovations, the makers of Flashpoint™ Power Technology, to bring you a flashlight that will revolutionize the portable lighting category and be true to our brand and our customers. The UC3.400 provides the longest uptime, the fastest recharge on the market, it is environmentally friendly, and you will never need to replace your flashlight. Preorder yours today!

In only 90 seconds, the UC3.400 Flashlight will go from dead flat to a full charge. That is 160 times faster than our nearest competitor. This quick recharge allows the light to always be ready. No need to carry multiple flashlights, purchase multiple chargers, or have to remember to charge your light after a long shift. In just 90 seconds, your Light for Life™ UC3.400 will be fully charged and ready to produce another 90 minutes of light.

Unlike traditional rechargeable battery systems that develop memory or degrade (holding less and less charge after each use) and have a life expectancy of 500 – 1000 charge/discharge cycles, the Flashpoint™ Power Technology system is rated for 50,000 charge/discharge cycles with virtually no degradation. That’s a charge a day for more than 135 years! Through 50,000 cycles, our testing shows that the Flashpoint™ system will still retain 96% of its peak capacity. Powered by 3 LED’s rated for more than 50,000 hours (that's 40 hours a week, for more than 24 years) means that there is nothing to replace. The Light for Life™ can supply your lighting needs throughout your career, and still be handed down to your children and their children.

The 5.11 Light For Life™ comes with a limited lifetime warranty and its internal components are rated for a life of over 50,000 cycles. That adds up to more than 130 years if you use and recharge the light once a day! The flashlight’s body is made from a state-of-the-art polymer that is impact, abrasion and water resistant to stand up to the intense duty we know you’ll put it through.

90 SECONDS
In only 90 seconds, the UC3.400™ Flashlight will go from dead flat to a full charge. That is 160 times faster than our nearest competitor. This quick recharge allows the light to always be ready. No need to carry multiple flashlights, purchase multiple chargers, or have to remember to charge your light after a long shift. In just 90 seconds, your Light for Life™ UC3.400™ will be fully charged and ready to produce another 90 minutes of light.

HOW IT WORKS
The Light for Life™ contains no batteries, but rather a proprietary energy management system that utilizes revolutionary ultracapacitors and computer circuitry. Ultracapacitors have the ability to quickly load energy, and then quickly unload it – producing the flash in most cameras. Up until this point, no one has been able to control both the way the ultracapacitors load, store and unload the energy. The ultracapacitors also have the ability to release energy at precise levels while maximizing performance and run time. The proprietary circuitry, together with the ultracapacitors, is what makes Flashpoint™ Power Technology.

PERFORMANCE
Key performance specifications for the UC3.400™ include 270 lumens peak output, 90 lumens in standard mode, as well as a 270 lumen tactical strobe. As you can see, the Light for Life™ creates more powerful peak brightness than many of our competitors.

Click the button once and the light will operate for 60 minutes in standard mode (90 lumens) at which point it will reduce itself to a 25 lumen standby mode for an additional 30 minutes. This mode is effective to give adequate light for most applications. This is equivelant to most 2-D cell flashlights.

Press and hold the button for a 270 lumen peak mode for 15 minutes (again followed by 30 minutes of standby). This mode is effective when a burst is needed to light a large area or throw the beam a long distance.

Press the button twice, and the light will produce a 270 lumen tactical strobe used to signal others or to disorient a perpetrator, giving you valuable time to assess a situation.

After the light has depleted its stored energy, just drop it into the 360 degree DC charging base (patent pending). The blue light on the charging base will flash slowly at first, then faster as the energy is loading into the system. After 90 seconds the blue light will be solid, and your light is fully charged and ready to produce light for another 90 minutes.

NOTHING TO REPLACE
Unlike traditional rechargeable battery systems that develop memory, or degrade, (holding less and less charge after each use) and have a life expectancy of 500 – 1,000 charge/discharge cycles, the Flashpoint™ Power Technology system is rated for 50,000 charge/discharge cycles with virtually no degradation. That’s a charge a day for more than 135 years! Through 50,000 cycles, our testing shows that the Flashpoint™ system will still retain 96% of its full capacity.

Powered by 3 LED’s rated for more than 50,000 hours (that would be 40 hours a week for more than 24 years) means that there is nothing to replace. The Light for Life™ can supply your lighting needs throughout your career, and still be handed down to your children, and their children.

What does ‘5.11’ stand for?
5.11 Tactical Pants with the patented tactical strap and slash pocket design were originally developed for rock climbing. “5.11” is a rock climbing difficulty level as listed in the Yosemite Decimal System. With skill levels ranging from 5.0 (easy) to 5.10 (difficult), 5.11 is even more grueling. 5.11 is officially defined as, “After thorough inspection, you conclude this move is obviously impossible; however, occasionally someone actually accomplishes it.”
