I can never have enough flashlights. I like to keep one in every room of the house. My children all have one kept next to their beds. I keep 2 in my truck; a small one in the glove box and a larger one with my tools and spare tire gear. It really annoys me to have to rummage around in the dark looking for a light. The uses for a flashlight are unlimited. You need them to go camping, fishing, hunting or any number of other adventures.

Most cheap flashlights just simply make me angry. They break when you drop them. The ends need to be screwed on just so in order for them to work. Sometimes you have to keep banging them to keep them turned on. This may be acceptable for those who are on an evening outing and aren't to far from the car, but for the serious and the professionals these kinds of lights just don't cut it.

So with the above said, lets talk about a serious and professional flashlight. Lightwave is producing LED flashlights to fit any occasion. These products come in a family of 6. From the big Lightwave 4000 D-cell to the Lightwave Pocketbright, these hardy flashlights will brighten your nighttime activities and provide you with a very reliable tool.

Why LED? The Light Emitting Diode has been around for a long time. You've seen them on your stereo equipment, your PC and many other common electrical products. We are starting to see them in flashlights now. It's a good thing. LEDs' have no filament to burn out. They do not generate a lot of heat and they require very little power to operate. These are long lasting flashlights.

These Lightwave LED flashlights are durable and surprisingly bright. The light that these produce is soft and pleasant. Often flashlights are too bright when trying to use them up close. They washout everything and make it very had to see anything outside the beam. The Lightwave lights shine a soft, bright beam of light that will not leave you blind after turning the light off. Something to notice is that with other lights, there always seems to be inconsistency in the beam. You adjust the light back and forth, like working the lens of a zoom camera, but you just can't seem to get rid of that dark ring that is either in the center or outer edge of the beam. It looks almost like your looking at a target. That's always been annoying to me. These multiple LED's eliminate that problem.

The Lightwave 4000 is known as the world's first D-cell LED flashlight. It's incredibly bright and delivers one heck of a beam. This is the big daddy of the family and is now my household flashlight. It's big, heavy and packs a punch. This is a heavy-duty flashlight and will perform as such. The battery life in the flashlight is close to 1 full month of continuous use.

The Lightwave 2100 is lightweight and would be my choice of flashlight to keep attached to my webgear or in my backpack. Many of us have become adapt to reading maps with a red lens flashlight, for tactical reasons. After I learned to do it, I actually preferred the red lens to the white washout from a regular light. This Lightwave 2100 is ideal for reading maps in the dark. Its soft bright glow is easy on the eyes and really makes a difference when trying to read your pencil marks and small text/symbols. Battery life should be at least 14 times longer than other regular flashlights.

The Lightwave Pocket Bright is a very handy little light to keep on your key chain. I use this light to help get my key in the hole on my truck without scratching the paint. A woman might find this light very handy by using it to find items in her purse. How many times have you dropped something small on your way in and out of a store? Most of the time you've got your keys in hand; add this light to the mix and you've just made finding whatever it was that you dropped a lot easier. Something to note is that this is a super bright light and can be seen from over a mile away, which makes it great in emergencies.

The Lightwave LED flashlight product line is unmatched in its performance for the dollar amount you will spend. These lights all come with a very durable ribbed texture that makes the lights very comfortable to hold. They also come with a lanyard that can be worn around the neck, or make a great way to store the light in a quick to get to spot (i.e. coat/hat rack). These lights all come with a 3-year warranty, including the LED lights. That's amazing. You can find more information about these flashlights by visiting the website http://www.longlight.com
