New High Tech Flashlight for Aviation Industry Helps Make Flying Safer

Commercial Airline Pilots Have a Brighter Future in Cockpit Safety

Tektite Manufacturing announced today the launch of a new flashlight product for the airline industry... the Excursion Pro 19 LED Aluminum Flashlight. The Excursion Pro was designed to meet the harsh demands of any emergency imaginable with features that separate it from anything else available.

In the process of engineering a flashlight that would exceed FAA requirements, we decided to take it a few steps further and develop the most durable flashlight in the world", explains Scott A. Mele, President of Tektite Industries. Our mission is to be the portable lighting brand of choice for industry", continues Mr. Mele.

The Excursion Pro 19 LED Aluminum Flashlight utilizes 3 D cell batteries offering over 10 times the battery life of regular incandescent flashlights. This is done in part through Tektites patented LED circuitry. The LED lamps offer over 10,000 hours of continuous life and are virtually impossible to break even in the most demanding use. Each flashlight is computer-machined from a solid bar of aircraft aluminum maximizing strength while double O-ring seals give it an underwater depth rating to 1,000 feet.

The trend were seeing is that people are less concerned about price and more concerned about not cutting corners in emergency and safety applications. Its simply hard to put a price on feeling secure", comments, Richard Saint Cyr, Vice President Sales & Business Development at Tektite Industries.
