Q: What is the difference between a battery and a capacitor?
A: Batteries require a chemical reaction to store energy. A capacitor stores
the electrical charge or energy directly. It's like storing a lightning bolt. Each
time an ordinary battery charges and discharges, it converts electricity into
a chemical bond and vice versa. During each charge the chemicals wear
down and over time, the batteries lose their ability to retain a charge.
Q: Are these lights intrinsically safe or do they have a "Class" or "Div"
rating?
A: The UC3.400 is currently not rated as intrinsically safe.
Q: May the flashlight be used in IDLH atmospheres?
A: The UC3.400 IS currently not rated to be used in IDLH atmospheres.
IDLH means "immediate danger of life & health," which is a safety term
for environments that may have reduced oxygen levels and possible toxic
conditions.
Q: How well do the flashlights work in smoke-filled environments?
A: The flashlights have been designed to penetrate smoke and still provide a
useable halo for flood illumination..
Q: What is the weight of the flashlight?
A: The approximate weight of the UC3.400 flashlight is 16 ounces.
Q: Although many products claim to have batteries with no memory
effect, if left on the charger, their batteries may often lose much of their
capacity. Is this true for the Light for Life flashlights?
A: The flashlight may be left on the charger when not in use indefinitely
with no loss in performance. Its capacitor has no "memory" effects. The
flashlight may be recharged anytime throughout its use and there is no loss
of life or performance. Whether you charge it up after every use or drain it
down completely, it's working like new in 90 seconds.
