How Long Does a Flashlight Last?

When you’re looking to buy a new flashlight, its lifespan is likely one of your top considerations. Since flashlights are often used in emergencies, you want a flashlight that lasts a long time since you may not know how long you’ll need it. Many flashlight options in-store and online do not specify how long they’ll last — here’s our guide for estimating flashlight life. How Long Do LED Flashlight Batteries Last? One of the main factors that determines a flashlight’s lifespan is the battery. Several elements affect battery life, including: Power draw: Low, medium and high brightness settings require a little to a lot of battery power. Brightness: The lower the lumens, the longer the batteries will run. Battery type: Alkaline and NiMH batteries last longer than “heavy-duty” options made from zinc-carbon or zinc-chloride.

How to Stop Beanies From Falling Off

A beanie is a brimless hat that fits close to the head. They’re common in the winter since they’re great at keeping your head warm and come in many styles and colors. One annoying problem that beanie wearers experience is slipping. Since this hat style hugs the head, it may come out of place or spring off your head as the day goes on. If your hands are busy doing a task or holding something, readjusting your beanie frequently can become irritating. Here’s our top three tips for how to keep your beanie on your head. 1. Pull It Over Your Ears While some beanie wearers adjust the hat to have their ears show, this makes it easier for the beanie to slip. The looser your beanie, the more likely it will fall off.

COVID-19 and Eye Protection

COVID-19 and Eye Protection The spread of COVID-19 leaves the general public and medical professionals questioning the best methods for protection against the virus. The concepts of social distancing and face coverings are new norms for person-to-person interactions, but many are curious about contracting COVID-19 via the eyes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend washing your hands frequently, wearing a mask and staying away from crowds when possible. But what about eye protection? There is currently little concrete data supporting the idea that children and adults should always wear eye protection to stop the spread of COVID-19. However, It is widely believed that touching your face and exposing yourself to droplets from an infected person increases your chances of getting sick. Wearing airtight goggles or eyewear might be enough to stop you from rubbing your eyes during this global pandemic. Is Eye Protection Necessary for COVID-19 Protection? COVID-19 spreads Read More

Even if you are an experienced hunter, accidents can occur at any time based on environmental factors, equipment and those shooting around you. Shielding the face and eyes is considered mandatory at most range locations, so it is crucial to find shooting glasses to ensure you’re prepared for ricochets, hot shell casings, kickback and other hazards.

Why You Should Always Wear Shooting Glasses

Why You Should Always Wear Shooting Glasses Whether you enjoy hunting or frequent the local range, proper eye protection is a must. Rubber bullets and traditional ammunition are both strong enough to break skin, and this can result in bruising, swelling and even bone fractures across the face. Whether you are an experienced outdoorsman or are just getting into outdoor activities, shooting glasses can prevent the loss of eyesight in the event of an accident. The next time you embark on a hunting trip or outdoor retreat, remember that eye protection could save you from a life-changing injury. What Are Shooting Glasses? Hunters often think standard prescription glasses are enough to deflect projectiles from a firearm. However, this is entirely incorrect, as glass lenses are unsuitable for high-level impacts. If you were to get hit by a rubber bullet, traditional glasses would crack and fall off your face. Shooting glasses Read More

Are LEDs Affected by Cold and Hot Temperatures?

Are LEDs Affected by Cold and Hot Temperatures? LED lighting is highly reliable, but like anything else, it can be affected by cold and hot temperatures. That’s why it’s important to know how your lights will perform in ambient temperatures and consider where you’ll be using them. So how exactly are LEDs affected by cold and heat? How Are LEDs Affected by Cold? Generally speaking, the cooler the environment, the greater an LED’s light output. This quality means that LED lighting actually performs well in cold temperatures. In fact, these lights will turn on instantly in cold temperatures, as the cold does not affect them. They also work well in cold temperatures because there’s generally less temperature fluctuation, which means less thermal stress placed on the driver and diodes. LED lights can be affected by cold temperatures and cold weather. When LED lights are installed in cold temperatures, studies show Read More

Choosing Color Temperature Lighting

Choosing Color Temperature Lighting You may not always realize it, but color affects many aspects of our daily lives. From our moods to how we interact with others, color impacts how we feel and behave. When it comes to color in lighting, the effects are much the same. We can measure color temperatures using the Kelvin scale, which is a thermodynamic temperature measurement. Light Color Temperature Range Here is a breakdown of the Kelvin light color temperature range: 2000-3000 Kelvin: Colors are warm and inviting shades of red, orange and yellow. They are often used in restaurants, living rooms, commercial spaces and more. 3100-4500 Kelvin: Vibrant and bright shades of yellow and white. Typically used for task lighting, work settings, basements and more. 4600-6500 Kelvin: Sharp and invigorating shades of blue. Ideal for security lighting, displays and similar spaces.

How Does Cold Weather Affect Lithium Batteries?

How Does Cold Weather Affect Lithium Batteries? Batteries in cold weather can experience a reduced battery life. If you live in a cold weather climate, you’ve likely experienced your cell phone or other electronics being zapped of power very quickly. One minute the battery is at 100%, then before you know it, the battery has died completely. So how does temperature affect lithium batteries, and how are lithium batteries affected by the cold? Lithium Batteries Temperature Range Lithium batteries rely on chemical reactions to work, and the cold can slow and even stop those reactions from occurring. Although these batteries handle cold better than most others, very low temperatures still affect their ability to store and release energy. Since cold conditions drain these batteries, cold temperatures and weather are bad for lithium batteries. As a result, you will need to charge them more often. Unfortunately, charging them in low temperatures Read More

How Long Do Lithium Batteries Last?

How Long Do Lithium Batteries Last? Over the years, lithium batteries have become bigger, more powerful and less expensive than other types of batteries. Most importantly, they’re able to last much longer. That’s why today, they can be used to power everything from cell phones to cars to electric grids and more. So just how long do they last? You can measure how long a lithium battery will last in a few different ways. The amount of time the battery provides power is typically measured in kilowatt hours (kWhs). Then, there’s the amount of time it can be charged and recharged before its power degrades significantly, typically measured in terms of years in use. The typical lifespan for a lithium battery is two to three years. A good rule of thumb is that once it can hold only 70-80% of its original energy storage, the battery should be replaced.
