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.

 

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 LEDs 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 flashlights 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.

 

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 power management system also has 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.

 

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 it's 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 an initial 25 lumen standby mode for an additional 60 minutes. This mode is effective to give adequate light for most applications. This is equivalent to most 2-D cell flashlights.
Press and hold the button for a 270 lumen peak mode for 15 minutes (again followed by 60 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 patented 360 degree DC charging unit (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 120 minutes.*
UC3.400 gives up to 50,000 charge/discharge cycles with virtually no degradation and no memory - even in severe temperature conditions. That's one charge a day for 135 years!
