SafeLight je proizvođač LED lampi sa sedištem u USA. Proizvode SafeLighta krasi jednostavnost i upotrbljivost u svakodnevnoj primeni. Sa svojom serijom LED lampi ovaj proizvođač polako osvaja tržište.

SafeLight u svojoj paleti proizvoda ima sledeće modele:

1. The Survival white LED
2. The Survival red LED
3. The Survival blue LED
4. The Survival green LED
5. The Star
6. The Selector

Ovo su sve proizvodi bazirani na jednom jedinstvenom modelu sa razlikom u čipu, odnosno načinu korištenja. Osnovne razlike su u modovima rada, pa tako model The Survival ima tri moda rada low, high i strob.  Takođe ovaj model je odobren od strane američke vojske, a najčešće se isporučuje sa NVG (Night Vision Googles) zelenom LED diodom, a koja je takođe idealna za kućnu upotrebu kao priručna lampa. Naime nakon što ovu lampu isključite oči se gotovo momentalno adaptiraju na mrak. Kao i sve druge lampe iz programa SafeLight i ova ima tzv. constant glow mod, odnosno lampa se nikada ne gasi. Praktično kada je isključena ona je u glow modu pa je u mraku možete mnogo lakše locirati i pronaći. Ovaj mod je takođe idealan za lampu u dečijoj sobi, kao i za sve opcije putovanja, kampovanja, lov, ribolov i outdoors avanture. Baterija od 9V omogućava rad do 2 godine u glow modu, i veoma veliku autonomiju u svim ostalim modovima. Svi modeli SafeLight imaju tzv. „baci na beton“ sertifikat koji izdaje američka vojska.

SafeLight lampe su proizvedene od silikonske gume, i praktično čine zaštitno kućište oko baterije 9V, četvrtaste su i veoma se lako postavljaju u bilo koji položaj. Kućište je sastavljeno iz dva dela koja na sredini drži sklopljenim jednostavan metalni prsten. Pored ovoga na zadnjem delu lampa ima prsten za traku koji se izvlači. LED dioda se nalazi ispod sočiva koje pojačava i sužava snop. Pri upotrebi lampe primetan je plavičast središnji deo sa zelenim prstenom u boji svetla (govorim o belom LED emiteru), takođe je primetna uska fokusiranost svetla dobijena sočivom, a slično kao kod SMO reflektora na drugim lampama. Ove lampe su veoma otporne na udarce i padove, dok su samo otporne na vlagu, ali ne i vodonepropusne, tako da treba da pripazite ukoliko se nađete u blizini vode sa ovom lampom. Sigurno se neće desiti ništa bitno ukoliko vam ispadne u vodu i odmah je izvadite, ali bi potopljena neko duže vreme primila vodu čime bi bili oštećeni kontakti i štampano kolo, a verovatno bi došlo i do kratkog spoja. Ove lampe mogu se naći u više različitih boja kućišta, kao i sa različitom dodatnom opremom.

Kao što je to već navedeno, lampe se baziraju na istom modelu (oblik, materijali, LED emiter) sa različitim modovima rada, pa tako The Selector dozvolljava izbor u jačini emitovanog svetla, i to tako što se pritiskom i držanjem tastera ulazi u mod za izbor i LED emiter lagano pojačava odnosno smanjuje intenzitet svetla, kada se dođe do odgovarajućeg intenziteta jednostavno otpustite prekidač i lampa ostaje sa željenom jačinom svetla. Ovo je idealan model za one koji žele najbolji odnos između dužine trajanja baterije i izbora svetla. The Selector takođe ima glow mode. Pored ovog modela The Star je najjednostavniji model za upotrebu i on pored glow moda ima još samo jedan mod, a to je najjači intenzitet svetla. The Star pored ovoga ima i mod za čuvanje baterije, odnosno ako zaboravite da ugasite lampu, ili se ona slučajno uključi podešena je da se automatski prebaci u glow mode nakon 25min i ovo je jedinstveno za ovu lampu.

Što se tiče SafeLight LED lampi, zaista nema previše zamerki na njihov rad i izdržljivost, posebno u tom cenovnom rangu. Dovoljno izdržljive, prijatne za rukovanje, jednostavne u svojim izborima modova, vrlo dobrog intenziteta i jačine svetla. Ovo su između ostalog razlozi zašto su ih oružane snage pojedinih zemalja uvrstile u svoj arsenal. Lampa je idealno rešenje za kućnu lampu, lampu za decu, za noćne šetnje, za kola ili alat. Takođe se nameće kao odlično rešenje za kampovanje, lov i ribolov, kao i sve avanture u prirodi. Kao glavnu manu ove lampe naveo bih nedovoljnu otpornost na vodu i njen pomalo čudan četvrtast oblik na koji se nije lako navići, iako i sam ima prednosti kada lampu koristite položenu na neku površinu, posebno ako je površina strma i po kojoj bi se svaka druga okrugla lampa otkotrljala.

SafeLight is a USA based LED manufacturer. SafeLight products are all about simplicity and usabillity in everyday carry. With diverse series of LED lamps, the SafeLight took his position at the LED market.

Product range of SafeLight consists of following models:

1. The white LED Survival
2. The red LED Survival
3. The blue LED Survival
4. The green LED Survival
5. The Star
6. The Selector

 

These products are all based on one single model with the difference in the chip drive and user interface. The main differences are the operation modes.The Survival model has three modes low, high and strobe. Also this model has been approved by the U.S. military, and often comes with NVG (night vision googles) green LED, which is also ideal for home use as a handy torch. After the lamp is turned off the eye almost immediately adapt to darkness. This mode is called Constant Glow and the lamp never goes out. Practically, when it is turned off it goes in Constant Glow and it is easier to locate lamp in the dark. This mode is also ideal for the lamp in the nursery/kid’s room, and it’s ideal as travel, camping, hunting, fishing and outdoors adventures LED light. 9V battery operation allows it up to 2 years in the glow mode, and a great deal of autonomy in all other modes. All models have a so-called SafeLight. "Throw on concrete" certificate issued by the U.S. military.

SafeLight lamps are made of silicone rubber which creates protective casing arround battery, LED emiter and drive circuit. The square shape makes it very easy to operate and it won’t roll away from any surface it’s putted on. The housing is composed of two parts, which are secured and holded in position by a metal ring. In addition to the rear of the lamp has a lanyard ring. LEDs are located below the lens that intensifies and narrows the beam. When using a lamp you can see a somewhat bluish tint in center of beam followed by green ring on outskirts (this is spotted in using of white LED), it also has a narrow beam which is a consequence of lens usage (light doesn’t have reflector but it works like with SMO reflector). These lamps are very resistant to shocks and falls, while only wet resistant, not waterproof, so you should be careful if you come near the water with this lamp. Dropping a lamp in water certainly will not end with serious malfunction, just get it out quickly and wipe it out. But submerged into water for longer period will cause some serious damage. SafeLight lamps are available in a variety of body colors and with different accessories.

As already stated, the lamps are based on the same model (shape, materials, LED emitter) with different modes of operation. The Selector allows you to choose between light strenght by simply press the O/I button constantly. Light comes up in hi mod and slowly dim to lowest mode allowing you to stop on wanted level by depressing the button. This model is ideal for those who want the best battery life to light strenght ratio. The selector also has a glow mode. Last model is the simplest model The Star. This light has only one mode on/off and it goes in high when ever used. Other than that it has also Constant Glow mode. One more feature is built in battery save mod, the light will go in Constant Glow mode after 25 min. of being turned on.

There is really not much objection to these lamps, their work, UI or endurance, especially at that price points. They are sufficiently durable, pleasant to use, simple in its election mode, at high intensity and brightness. These are some reasons which lead some countries to choose this manufacturer as a supplier for their armed forces. The lamp is an ideal solution for home lamp, lamp for children, for night walks, a car or a toolchest choice. It is also becoming a great solution for camping, hunting and fishing, and all outdoors adventures. The main drawback of this lamp is its lack of better water resistance and a bit strange rectangular shape that takes time to get used to it, but after that it’s just natural.
