Charges in just 90 seconds.
The UC3.400™ Light for Life™ Flashlight will go from dead flat to a full charge in about 90 seconds—160 times faster than the finest standard rechargeable duty lights. This quick recharge allows the light to always be ready. No need to carry multiple flashlights, purchase multiple chargers and batteries, 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.
No batteries.
Instead, a revolutionary system of advanced ultracapacitors and energy management circuitry delivers lighting performance and practicality far surpassing any other duty flashlight available. Typically used to produce the flash in most cameras, ultracapacitors have the ability to quickly load energy, and then unload it in an intense short-lived burst. Unlike batteries, they are unaffected by extreme temperatures, virtually maintenance-free, and extremely lightweight. But no one has been able to effectively modulate the way ultracapacitors store and release their energy…until now. The 5.11 Light for Life uses proprietary FlashPoint™ Power Technology to load energy quickly, then deliver it slowly, at precisely controlled levels to maximize performance and run time.
Cree LEDs and 4-Way Power for performance that outshines any other duty light available.
The Light for Life delivers a blazing 270 lumens for 15 minutes in Peak Brightness or its disorienting Strobe Mode, or a steady 90 lumens for 60 minutes in Standard Mode, before reducing itself to a still-effective 25-lumen Standby Mode for an additional 30 minutes. Its three advanced Cree LEDs, each in its own reflector cone, combine to deliver an intense, tactically focused beam with a tight hot-spot able to clearly illuminate objects at 300 ft. A wide, smooth, corona provides excellent peripheral light to help you stay aware of your surroundings at all times.
Nothing to replace. Ever.
The Light for Life could be the most cost-effective duty lighting system ever made. Traditional rechargeable battery systems can degrade or develop “memory”, holding less and less charge after each use. And they have a life expectancy of 500–1,000 charge/discharge cycles, with a typically high cost for replacement batteries. The 5.11 UC3.400™ Light for Life eliminates those issues completely. Its unique 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, 5.11’s testing shows the Flashpoint™ system will still retain 96% of full capacity. Its three high-intensity LED’s are rated for more than 50,000 hours (40 hours a week for more than 24 years), and along with the impact-, abrasion-, and water-resistant polymer body, are virtually unbreakable. There is simply nothing to replace. The Light for Life™ can satisfy your duty lighting needs throughout your career…and still deliver plenty of performance for your successor.
Recharge in a flash.
Just place the end of the Light for Life into the 360 degree DC charging base. It will charge in any position. The blue light on the base will flash slowly at first, and then faster as the energy is loaded into the system. After 90 seconds the blue light will be solid—and your light is fully charged and ready to deliver at full brightness for another 90 minutes. The base can be mounted vertically, diagonally, or horizontally, for convenient charging and storage in any vehicle.
