Streamlight launches updated rechargeable spotlight

Streamlight, a provider of high-performance lighting, have launched the Waypoint 400, an updated model of the Waypoint 300.

The new version of the rechargeable pistol-grip spotlight offers up to 1,400 lumens of ultra-bright white light with 400,000 candela and a beam distance of 1,265 metres for enhanced down-range lighting capability – useful for special operations, such as searching for missing people.

The portable light can be used as either a handheld mobile searchlight or, with its integrated stand, as a hands-free scene light to illuminate an area for professional law enforcement, military or firefighting operations in no- or low-light conditions.

Michael F Dineen, Chief Revenue Officer at Streamlight, said: “The new Waypoint 400 not only features extreme brightness, but also includes a far-reaching beam for extreme distance lighting.”

The spotlight uses powerful LED technology and a deep-dish parabolic reflector for long-range targeting with optimum peripheral illumination. Its three settings offer different levels of lumens and beam distance:

• High – 1,400 lumens; 1,265-meter beam distance
• Medium – 600 lumens; 812-meter beam distance
• Low – 38 lumens; 200-meter beam distance.

The light runs for 3.25 to 84 hours on high and low, respectively. It uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that fully charges in four hours. A LED charging indicator provides charging status.

It also features an unbreakable polycarbonate lens and is O-ring sealed. With a trigger-style switch for momentary or ‘constant-on’ operation, the light boasts a cushioned grip handle that eliminates user hand fatigue. The light includes an adjustable, high-strength wrist lanyard, and features an integrated stand for hands-free lighting.

The spotlight is lightweight, weighing 691g and measuring 17.15cm long by 18.14cm high. It features an IPX8-rated design for waterproof operation to two metres and is impact-resistant to one meter.

Dineen added: “Police and fire professionals and other first responders also will appreciate its weight-balanced design that virtually eliminates hand fatigue.”
