LED Angle Lights from Nightstick® Add Wide Reaching Floodlight to Lifesaving Firefighting Equipment

 

Bayco Products, Inc has introduced three new Nightstick® branded intrinsically safe Class I, Division 1 angle lights. The new models, the XPP-5570R, the XPR-5572R, and the XPR-5572RM are now available.

Each new Nightstick angle light model is cULus and MSHA certified intrinsically safe permissible, water-rated as IP-X7 waterproof, and meets the requirements of NFPA-1971-8.6 (2013). Made from durable, glass-filled nylon polymer, these individually serialized angle lights feature a heavy-duty stainless-steel pocket clip that eliminates slippage when attached to a firefighter’s jacket or SCBA and include a top-mounted visible low-battery indicator that illuminates in low battery situations.

All three Nightstick angle light feature three user-selectable flashlight settings of 200, 100, and 60 Lumens plus a strobe feature with a 267-meter beam distance. The ultra-tight beam is perfect for cutting though smoke and lighting up objects at great distances while the floodlight setting (separate independent switch) has three user-selectable brightness settings of 200, 100 and a “Survival Mode” of 20 lumens that provides just enough light in an emergency situation with a run-time of 3.5 days. Turn both the flashlight and the floodlight on simultaneously in Dual-Light mode allows users to see objects at a distance or through the smoke as well as see the ground in front of them as they walk or work, increasing safety and convenience. Nightstick’s Dual-Light technology is a first to the angle light product line and is one of eight available modes to choose from.
