Since hurricanes Harvey hit Texas 2 weeks ago, and Irma hit Florida last weekend, it’s time to evaluate the best and brightest engraved flashlights for hurricane survival. The winner, hands down, is the “Intense Triple Output LED flashlight, CREE® XM-L2-U2, model FL142” by Starline. It has 5 functions, that you activate by pushing in the button just part way, each time. They are
High
Medium
Low
Strobe
SOS
On the High beam you get 1050 Lumens of brightness. The beam is focus-able by turning the head. The 9 AA batteries are the secret of the brightness, and of course the advanced circuitry. The customer’s corporate logo is laser engraved on the anodized aluminum barrel.

How many flashlights do we need?
What color do we need?
Can we have them delivered before our annual banquet and awards ceremony?
Are they made in the USA?
Are they guaranteed against defects and workmanship?
Can we see a proof before they are engraved with our corporate logo?
Here are the answers that you can confidently tell him:
Vector art files are the best. They are absolutely neat, even when enlarged.
Plan to order one for every employee or every customer, and plan for a few extras in case new people come into play in the next few weeks.
What are your corporate colors? Some flashlights come in a few standard colors.
Ask the distributor if they can meet your deadline.
Maglites® have always been made in the USA. Most other engraved flashlights are made in China, and many are high quality.
Most are guaranteed to be free of defects when delivered. Maglites® are guaranteed for life, if sold in the USA. If sold in other countries, the warranty differs.
Email proofs are always possible, and highly recommended. The distributor want to be sure you like what you see before going into production.
Maglites are the best USA-Made flashlight. They are built tough, and will last a lifetime. But, here are 5 secrets you probably didn’t know about Maglite Flashlights.
LED (the bulb on an LED Maglite, or any LED flashlight) doesn’t last forever. It doesn’t burn out. It just gets dimmer and dimmer with age. Don’t worry. Depending on your usage, it should remain very bright till a time between 50 years and 2,000 years from now.
Maglites® are designed to be highly water resistant. However, they are not advertised to be waterproof.
Maglites® are not tested to be explosion-proof or intrinsically safe. Some workers who use a flashlight in highly volatile environments need that type of flashlight.
There are flashlights made for that purpose.
Old and weak alkaline batteries can damage your Maglite® just as they can damage any other flashlight. Maglites® are built tough, but guarding against a leaky battery is above and beyond the call of duty. Many battery manufacturers have a repair/replacement policy if your flashlight is damaged by one of their leaky batteries.
The ANSI standard of rating the power of flashlights was started only in 2009. Mag Instrument has agreed to abide by the ANSI standard, and rates its flashlights so you can compare one with another. ANSI stands for American National Standards Institute. The parameters used are:
Why? In a few words, you don’t want to damage your precious eyes misusing one of the worlds brightest flashlights, the Maglite®. Bright light is good as long as you are lighting up objects that you need to see. But be careful not to shine it into anyone’s eyes.
Protect Your Eyes
Promotional Maglights (Maglites®) have always been designed and manufactured in the United States. They are popular the world over because of their long-lasting quality, their premium material, and superb workmanship. Maglite® has set the universal standard of what a flashlight should be. Bright, dependable, and rugged. That’s why so many companies and corporations like to have their logo laser engraved on them. That’s why they pass them out to their customers and workforce. They are used as safety awards for both men and women. A Maglite® is a universal quality business gift that is useful, appreciated, and rugged.
Promotional flashlights not only spread the image of your logo to everyone you give them to. They also are useful tools. They “brighten the lives” of your customers, figuratively and actually. Here are the steps to give your customers a flashlight with your corporate logo…..
Find your best company logo to place on a flashlight.
Find the best promotional flashlights company on the internet. Choose one that has an easy-to-use website. One that is easy to navigate, and to order.
Decide your budget. Remember, most flashlights will last a very long time. So your investment will last many years.
Decide what size of flashlight you want to give. Is it for both males and females. Is it for all ages?
Do you need a simple incandescent bulb, or LED, or the new CREE bulb, or the newer COB (chip onboard) style of torch? How about a Maglite®?
If you can’t answer these questions, just phone the company and discuss your needs.
After you place your order and receive your flashlights, it’s time to do the fun job. Pass them out in person to all the customers on your list. It’s time to “make your customers’ lives a little brighter with promotional flashlights.”
Brian Debottis (of Starline) showed me the best and brightest engraved flashlights at the OPPA show in Cleveland Ohio last week. I have one of these Triple Output LED CREE FL142 flashlights, and tried it out one night. It can light up the complete side of a building. It’s bright enough to be able to paint the side of your house at night! Currently, I keep it in my boat. When working in the engine compartment, you need a super bright light, and this flashlight fills the bill.
There are 2 secrets to its brightness. First, is the CREE bulb. CREE bulbs are extremely brighter that an ordinary LED bulb or an incandescent bulb. Second, there are 9 AA batteries inside. If they are all connected in series, that would give it 13.5 volts to work with. No wonder it is rated at 1050 Lumens.
The FL142 can be laser engraved with your corporate logo. This makes for a long-lasting, appreciated gift when you present it to your best customers.
