One of the biggest advancements in lighting technology our generation has seen is the development of LEDs. Light-emitting-diodes have a long list of benefits in comparison to their predecessor, the incandescent bulb.
Produce light 90% more efficiently than incandescent bulbs

From their mini versions, to their larger models, there is an LED Maglite flashlight for everyone. What better way to celebrate National LED Light Day than to find your favorite one!

This month of September contains many American holidays that the average person doesn’t even hear about. Sure, this week we celebrated Labor Day, but did you know that Uncle Sam Day is on Sunday the 13th, and the birthday of the Air Force is next Friday the 18th? In fact, the entire month of September is also dubbed Americana Month.
What better way to celebrate at your office than to pass out promotional Maglites with the American flag printed on them?

Warranted for life, or at least several years. Maglites used to have a lifetime warranty. In 2019, the manufacturer stopped giving this warranty. Still, it will last a very long time.
High quality deep laser engraving that will last forever. This is much better than screen printing, because it won’t wear off or scratch off.
The true meaning of Labor Day is usually overlooked. Too often this holiday is seen as the last weekend of summer: a time for BBQ’s, picnics, boating, or one last beach vacation before the summer comes to an end.

No matter if you’re doing in-person learning or distance-learning this fall, you surely have a back-to-school supply list. Pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, calculator… what else? Adding engraved flashlights to that list is a no-brainer- it’ll keep younger kids safe no matter where they are, and it’ll help college-aged students on the walk home from a late-night study session at the library.
Every year on August 7th the United States celebrates recipients of the Purple Heart. The Armed Forces give this award to members of the military who have been wounded, killed, or died from wounds caused by an enemy attack. Let us all honor those recipients and be grateful for the freedoms and liberties for which they fight.
The first flashlight was invented in 1899 by David Misell. It contained 3 D cells
Engraved Flashlights For the Future
and an incandescent light bulb. In 120 years, we have come a long way. LED’s have replaced the bulb. Electronic circuits now provide different light levels and a strobe effect and power conservation. Recharging has become a valuable option. And now the COB (chip on board) bulbs are super bright.
The history of promotional flashlights involves different types of imprinting. Pad printing changed into laser engraving. Today engraved flashlights with your corporate logo are ubiquitous.
What can we hope for in the future? Here are some of my ideas. Do you have more? Please let me know in the comment section.
Your logo lights up when the flashlight is turned on.
Part of your logo imprint changes when you turn on the torch. This could be done with the help of liquid crystals or special circuitry.
Add this to the imprint: “If found, please return to….”
The barrel changes color depending on the temperature. LCD technology could do this.
A keylight that firmly holds your house key so it lights up the key hole as you insert your key. The original keylights would point in the opposite direction of what you wanted.
A flashlight that has a built-in battery tester. Wouldn’t it be nice to see how close you are to having to replace batteries?
A built-in beeper that allows your cell phone to find it. This would be great, as long as you know where your phone is.
