Ivus L-180: Heavy duty LED flashlight recharges in two minutes
The SpokesmanReview reports on the efforts of Ivus Industries who intend to produce for commercial production a rechargeable heavy-duty flashlight which is to be retailed at a price tag of $229. 'The current model features a custom lens and mirror, three bright LEDs and a long, black tube that holds circuitry and ultracapacitors. A port allows users to customize flashing signals, such as SOS. It has charging units both for wall- and car-mounted outlets. "It's a smart flashlight," said John Overby, director of client services for Spokane-based small business incubator Sirti, which has assisted the company with its business plan. "I think it's pretty exciting." At just less than 1 pound, the final version should be lighter than competing models, although possibly thicker.'
