If you think the concept of multi-tasking is overrated, don''t tell it to the guys who developed the patent-pending Recon. Because this long-awaited L.E.D.L.E.D. Lights: Stands for Light Emitting Diode. L.E.D.s are tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, they don't have a filament that will burn out, and they don't get especially hot. They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor. L.E.D. lights don't force your eyes to re-adjust every time you use them. That makes getting around in the dark much easier.
The official name for this proprietary technology is D.I.A.L.™, which stands for Diode Illumination Adjustable Lens. Basically, this new design lets you dial in the color that''ll serve you best: White for general situations, red for preserving Night VisionNight Vision: A trademark used for a technology that enables vision at night, as by amplification of low light to create visible images or by detection of infrared wavelengths.
It''s all powered by 1 AA battery—you can anticipate long battery life—which come with the Recon. It weighs just 2.6 ounces. Yet it delivers a military ton of task-specific light, right when you need it.
