The RL-11 rechargeable handheld HID light from Larson Electronics is a lightweight, ultra rugged, ergonomic handheld light that operates for 90 minutes on a single charge of its 14.4 volt lithium-ion battery. The 35 watt high intensity discharge lamp in this unit produces a 3,500 lumen light beam capable of reaching distances up to 3,000 feet. A snap on diffuser lens transforms this unit to a flood configuration producing a 200 foot by 200 foot light beam for close, wide area illumination. This HID light is weatherproof and resists the intrusion of water and dust. A booted push button switch located on the handle of the unit simplifies the on and off operation.
The lithium-ion battery for this handheld light is fully charged in approximately four hours with an included 120 volt AC wall charger. An integral micro-relay enables the user to power the HID light from a 12/24 volt DC vehicle cigarette plug outlet. The cigarette plug for this unit does not act as a charger for the lithium-ion battery. When the cigarette plug is activated, power is solely provided by the 12/24 volt source. Once the cigarette plug is removed, power is provided by the battery. This unit includes a molded carrying case that houses the light, the battery, the flood lens, a shoulder strap, and the AC wall charger.
“The RL-11 is a high quality, dependable lighting solution for law enforcement and search and rescue teams, as well as the average customer who is just looking for a good handheld light to use around the house,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics. “The HID lamp in this unit does not contain a breakable filament and is rated for 2,500 hours of operation life between lamp changes.”
