WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH CURRENT MILITARY LIGHTS?

1. Infrared light

A normal white or red filtered flashlight emits visible light. Unfortunately, it also emits infrared energy at an intensity 20 times greater than the visible light. To our soldier using a normal white or red flashlight, the infrared portion is of no use because it does not improve his ability to see. To the enemy wearing his NVG's, the infrared light coming from the filtered light is a substantial benefit. It allows him to locate our soldier easily because infrared light is primarily what NVG's pick up. The patented Phantom^TM white light is a special blend of colors that radiates only visible light--NO INFRARED. Therefore, the Phantom^TM white light does not project the type of energy that the NVG's easily detect. Furthermore, the Phantom^TM has a special hood that directs the visible light only in the required location.

2. Hazardous Red Filters

Your red flashlight makes you a hazard for two reasons. First, you are using a light that, while it appears dim to your eyes, gives off a large, clear signal to the enemy sniper wearing NVG's. They see you and your light as clearly as if it were daytime. Therefore, you are jeopardizing the safety of yourself and your unit with a red filtered flashlight. Even if you are working in a tent or under a poncho, light will escape and give your position away.

The second reason that the red light makes you a hazard is that you cannot do your job well with it. If you are looking at any object that has colors, a red colored light will distort those colors. If you are reading a map, working with different colored fluids or wires, or performing any medical procedure, you will not be able to see colors clearly, and because of that problem, you may make a mistake that will cost someone's life.

3. Dangerous Blue Filters

The blue-green filtered light that some of the military is using is secure because it is not seen as easily with the NVG's as the white or red filtered light, but it is still dangerous. It is dangerous because it distorts color. Like the red filtered light that washes out all of the red and reddish colors on a map, the blue-green filtered light washes out all of the rivers, roads, boundaries, contours, and declinations that are greenish or bluish in hue. You cannot afford to misread your map. In addition, blue green filtered lights are very tiring on your eye.

4. Expensive Lights

While the old red filtered, right angle and mini AA flashlights are initially cheap, they are actually quite costly. They have a ravenous appetite for batteries and bulbs, which means that the soldier spends a lot of time and money replacing dead batteries and broken bulbs. This is not only a problem for the wallet, but also for the environment, since garbage cans are few and far between out in the woods! Security is also compromised as discarded batteries can identify a soldier s location. And readiness is impossible if a soldier does not have a needed replacement battery or bulb.

5. The LED Lights^TM Solution

LED Lights^TM solves all of these problems:

First, it allows a soldier to stay covert while performing vital and routine night operations. When one soldier is wearing NVG's and his partner needs to read a map or perform some other task, the Phantom^TM light is the only flashlight that will not hinder the partner wearing night vision goggles. Because the Phantom^TM light has a low signature, a soldier can work with the Phantom^TM light and not blind his buddy's NVG's-Even in a cockpit situation!

Second: with the Phantom, the soldier gets accurate map colors, and is not subject to the eye fatigue he'll get with standard lights. This eliminates friendly fire or misread maps accidents.

Third, the PHANTOM^TM SAVES MONEY! The shockproof bulbs last 50,000 hours each, and will probably never need to be replaced. The 4 AA batteries last an average of 150 hours on one set!!! This is compared to the 4-12 hours of battery life out of most standard flashlights.

6. Types of Phantom^TM Lights Available

The Phantom^TM is available in a flashlight, cockpit/vehicle light, PAR 36 or PAR 46 sealed beam bulb, and Phantom^TM tube (to replace a fluorescent tube light in a tent or TOC)

This page contains lights that are unique to the military but many of our other lights listed on this web site can work for the armed forces as well. Our money saving designs are applicable wherever there is a lighting need. Challenge the existing military designs with the ones we recommend. If we can do a better job at less expense, we will tell you how and why. The new technology is available now. HELP US HELP YOU SAVE!
