Know the difference between LED (Light Emitting Diode) and incandescent light before purchasing your emergency lighting. NEBO flashlights provide many choices and are readily available on the market. Also keep in mind what the tool will be used for. Models come in a variety of sizes and can fit into anything.
The difference in how they work is simple. An incandescent light is a glass bulb filled with inert gas and a tungsten filament. Light is produced when the electric current from the batteries heat the filament which in turn produces visible light. An LED has no filament, no gas, and no glass bulb to break. It is a tiny bulb that plugs into an electric circuit. Once the diode starts to receive energy from the batteries, the electrons start bouncing around inside which produces light.
Now that you know the difference you can probably figure out why LED flashlights are more economical. The bulb does not break if it is dropped where as an incandescent light very easily may. Also, it takes much less energy to operate than it does an incandescent. In addition, as the battery strength runs low the light from an LED will remain the same color while producing less light. However, the light from an incandescent bulb will become more and more yellow as it dims then goes out.
There is also a work light available on the market that is small in size but with 20 LED's on its face it provides plenty of light to get any job done. It has a hanging hook, a two hundred degree pivoting stand and a magnetic base. In addition, it also has 6 LED's on its head so it can also be used as a flashlight. A person can make repairs under the sink and in the dark at the fuse box. Any place light is needed to get a job done, it can handle it.
Another good idea is to always have a rechargeable model in your car, truck, boat, or Recreational Vehicle. It just plugs into any 12 volt outlet and will produce a compact and bright light for six hours. That is plenty of time to either change a tire, go for help, or look at a map.
If you find yourself without access to any power outlets and you have a wind up model, you will have light. These tools have an internal battery that is recharged when you turn the hand crank. A good idea is to always include one in your emergency kit, on the boat, or as part of your camping gear. No need to worry about light when there is no power when you have one of these.
Home security is another reason for owning the best light possible. A tactical model is available on the market. In the shape of a bat, it provides enough light to suppress the night vision of any unwanted intruder. It has a a strobe light in addition to two options of lighting. One will provide two-hundred lumens of light and the other one-hundred lumens. Anything over fifty lumens within a distance of ten yards can cause temporary blindness when viewed directly.
Before purchasing your LED flashlight, consider what you are going to use it for. You will save money simply because they last longer, do not break, and do not need batteries. The cost is low enough you will be able to purchase one for every member of the family.
